Black privilege, just another example of it.

There simply is no white anthem, and there is no black anthem.

I will be the only person out of all of the “republicans” I know that watch the NFL to stop watching it.

That’s what kills us every time.

The left almost has to sacrifice nothing since almost everything big is left leaning.

But they WILL to make it more left.

They beat us that way

Kneeling, historically, is done to show respect, fealty as to a king or superior. A show of humility.

I reached a point where if I see someone kneeling to the flag, I just say the flag accepts your fealty and worship.

Still I won’t be watching NFL this season either, really trying to think of a sport I would watch.

They could play ABBA and Barry Manilow for the entire game, for all I care. I wasn’t going to be watching anyway.

All the alleged “reparations”—if not paid in blood by our GAR ancestors—have been paid many times over with NFL and NBA tickets and other merchandising.

The Black National Anthem, as sung by Eddie Murphy...

Dark and lonely on the summer night.
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking - Do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window,
Break his neck!
Then his house
I start to wreck!
Got no reason —
What the heck!
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L ...
My land - lord ...
