They stand when GOD SAVE THE QUEEN is played, even though Elizabeth II’s ancestor Elizabeth I had a ship’s captain, John Hawkins get rich capturing and shipping slaves from Africa to South America. He was given a COAT OF ARMS showing a bound slave on it.
Then they go to the slave’s position, on their knees, when the National Anthem is played, even though over 700,000 white boys gave their lives to settle the slave question.

Well stated, and great historical reference.
Also, they don’t realize our forefathers freed us from britan to become a nation where others wanted to come to escape oppression.
Couple that with the end of slavery in this country , the US in essence saving the world during WW2 and you wonder how many of them even know anything about “ freedom” and history
