First, let's all be adults and cut out the childish and belittling name calling!
Next, before we stand for the Anthem, I've enclosed the unedited version.
Written during the time of the War of Independence, the Anthem was not
written to represent, nor respect people of color.
Calling the mistreatment of black people America, by the police as alleged. Is the equivalent of telling black person that has been falsely arrested, threatened, wrongfully assaulted or imprisoned, had hoses turned on them, attacked by dogs, liars and spitting on them. Athletes have taken up the cause, of reminding this country, that it still has a way to go, for justice and equality. If protesting makes them wrong and ignorant, you have to add the Father's of the Country to them. We should tear up The Constitution, The Flag and The Anthem. Ban the 4th of July, then apologize for The American Revolution and beg to rejoin Great Britain. This country was built on protesting.
Joy then tries to justify her opinion, by using 'The Race Card'. She brings up Roland Fryer. Like a brick through a glass window. Joy: "Who happens to be black." Being black or a person of color, does not disqualify you from racism against your own people, or others. It does not make you an paragon of virtue and being right. Slavery wasn't right, people protested. How many slaves that were satisfied or afraid of change, told the masters about runaway plots of escape. Suffragettes were wrongly imprisoned for demanding equality. When they hunger struck in protest, they were force fed! By Joy's standards, Eric Garner's last words should have been Thank you, instead of I can't breath.
How many times do we need the company lines as their first response? The officer was afraid for his or her life. Or, when the overwhelming evidence disputes crooked cops: It's just one bad apple. America as a whole was complicit in Slavery. When an officer breaks the law and his brother and sisters in blue remain silent, or aid in the cover up. They are just as guilty.
The birth and development of the American police, can be traced to a multitude of historical, legal and political-economic conditions. The institution of slavery and the control of minorities, however, were two of the more formidable historic features of American society shaping early policing. Slave patrols and Night Watches, which later became modern police departments, were both designed to control the behaviors of minorities.
Joy like many others, take Martin Luther King Jr's Speeches out of context. In a poor attempt at bending his intentions, to their will. These athletes protests, in no way denigrate The Anthem or The Flag. They simply wish to heard, as this the only format that most Americans will halfway listen to. I am certain, that every person of color, that had to exonerated by DNA, after years of wrongful imprisonment, was protesting and claiming there innocence. And those cries & prayers fell on deaf ears and were at the time ignored. So when you hear about or see an athlete raising a fist, being seated, taking a knee or in the locker room. They are giving recognition to wrongfully incarcerated and over policed people of color, who's lives are stolen and aren't seen or heard by our society.
We can secure The Border, the only thing that building the wall rhetoric does, is foster hate and division.
The Great Wall of China was built on the stones and generations Chinese People. How many bodies did the Berlin Wall claim, before it was torn down.
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there, O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream, 'Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto - "In God is our trust," And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
