Would like to beat some sense into the “author”. Hope he and those like him decide to move someplace they can feel patriotic towards - would clean a lot of the trash from the Nation I love....
“If I had a son, he’d look like Terrell”
Thanks Obama for all the 2017 black racism and division in America!
The 1968 Summer Olympics saw the black power salute and other demonstrations by other black athletes. Foreman, in contrast, was criticized by some activists for carrying an American flag into the ring of his 1968 Olympic Heavyweight bout. When he was later asked if he had any regrets, he said "I wish I'd carried two." He was also asked if he had been pressured at the time to join in the protests, and he said "yes, they tried to push me. But I was the heavyweight boxer -- I could take care of myself."
Not surprisingly, that kind, patriotic, ambitious American who happens to be black has had a wildly successful, happy life in this country. And we shouldn't lose sight of other patriotic black Americans -- they all don't share the views of the piece of garbage who wrote that article.
Another crazed negro liberal. Nothing to (new) see here, move along you privileged white male.
The fact that the Russian fake black lives matter account had more followers than the actual black lives matter account should tell you all you need to know about how much of a fraud all of this crap is. Black Americans are as American as anyone, and those of us with more than two brain cells are proud of it!
This is one black man responding to what I just read.
My opinion is the writer is full of bullshit, and looks to rationalize failed, self defeating world views.
Patriotism is for all Americans, regardless of color.
100 per cent garbage. Hate and ignorance go hand in hand.
George Foreman truly is “The Greatest.”
when black people get angry, cities burn...
when white people get angry, continents burn....
Very true, Brandon Tatum had one of the best responses to the loser spoiled NFL players and has gone viral:
This guy is free to be an idiot.
You should send him a link to this. His reaction might be interesting.
Was his therapist white?
I wonder if all those Star Spangled Banner kneelers realize that there is more than to our national anthem than the first verse. The fifth verse, in particular, was written not by Francis Scott Key but by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, in 1861, to support the Union cause during the Civl War.
Perhaps celebrity vocalists at NFL football and NBA basketball games should be encouraged to sing this fifth verse, instead. Then, just maybe, the kneelers could make a statement by rising up off the artificial turf, and/or the hardwood, as one and stand at attention with their hands over their hearts, where they belong.
I suggest it’s worth a try.
When our land is illumined with liberty’s smile,
If a foe from within strikes a blow at her glory,
Down, down with the traitor that tries to defile
The flag of the stars, and the page of her story!
By the millions unchained,
Who their birthright have gained
We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained;
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave,
While the land of the free is the home of the brave.
This is about destroying America so the globalist can enslave us. It is called treason.
The author does not say how this country fought a war, largely over slavery, and ultimately freed the slaves. H e does not say how well African-Americans are doing in this country, be it in politics, law, business, communications, military, etc. Fact is Americans of African decent are much better off than other Africans the world over. We even had an anti American African American president.
Alternatively, here’s a National Anthem that might get the kneelers’ attention.
The SOB Anthem
(With apologies to Francis Scott Key)
Oh, say can you see
Me, asserting my rights,
As so proudly I kneel
And dis’ this whole flag thing.
Those broad stripes and bright stars
They Just piss my ass off
Like the whiteys who boo,
to the exits they’re streaming.
So why should I care
If the ratings aren’t there?
They can turn out the lights
But I’ll still get my share.
I don’t give a damn, let your
“Blood-Soaked” flag wilt.
Playing ball’s about me
Cashin’ in on white guilt.
The problem is people who go around saying “White people” and “Black people.” Anybody who reduces a complex human being to a SINGLE word descriptor doesn’t deserve to live on this planet and can go somewhere else. Sorry, bud. This is your country too. The moment when you stop blaming all your self-inflicted failures on “White people” you will begin to be happy.
A simple question for these racialist whiners — In what nation on earth is the aggregate standard of living and quality of life better for melanin enhanced humans than the USA?
