From what I understand there are two items that have the Woke people all riled up:

1: Song was premiered at a minstrel show in 1903 2: The lyrics was based on Robert E Lee when he was president of then Washington University, now Washington and Lee, telling his students "the eyes of the South are upon you".

This is another reason why I won’t watch ANY college or professional sports. I’ve got better things to do with my time. Like cleaning my guns.

And it has reached a point that members of the band are refusing to play.

Then they should be kicked off the band and lose their scholarships.

[C19fan]

So do band members now get veto power over the playing of the National Anthem?

[Mr. K]

Toss them out of the band.

These people are freaks

This all began in the 1960s when college students (who as a group are the most ignorant people on the planet) were able to force Colleges to bend a knee to whatever demand they make.

Fast forward to today and it is possible for a single individual to say something is offensive and everybody must bend their knees and change their way so as not to offend this individual.

The problem is there are competing individual so that when you bend your knee to one, you end up offending another.

The bottom line there is nothing you can do that will NOT offend someone sometimes.

Our first amendment has been re-written so you don’t have a right of free speech, you have a “right to not be offended”.

This only works when one side is willing to use violence and the other side isn’t. The day is coming when the other side will simply say enough is enough and began to fight back.

Very sensitive snowflake antenna quivering at 20 feet! This is a penumbra of a second-hand shadow of someone who is ACTIVELY LOOKING for offense. An absolute travesty to this Texas Descendant!

[Agatsu77]

F-ing snowflakes. Just go home to mommie, life is just So unfair!

I read this week that the next “improvement” being considered by the University of Florida for its big football stadium is to remove seating.

When noosecar began removing seating at tracks around the country it was not a good sign, we now know. Death is a lagging indicator.

[Irenic]

Give that band their pink hats.

Over 100 years ago, there was a large organized group of folks who worked hard to enforce slavery, enforce Jim Crow, and mistreat black Americans personally for decades on end. They tried to keep blacks from voting, they tried to prevent blacks from getting an education, and they tried intimidating all those who opposed them. One would think that Woke Americans would want all references and memorials of that social club to be torn from public view.

Oh, wait. You thought I was talking about the KKK? No, I was referring to the Democrat Party. Strange how everything with bare connections to shows and foods and products have to be torn down, but the biggest force behind all of that abuse of black people continues to stand untarnished to this very day. Hmmm.
