Gold Star Parents vs. Spike Lee: How Do You Support Millionaires On Their Knees & Not Fallen Heroes?
RealClearPolitics ^ | September 27, 2017 | RealClearPolitics

Spike Lee is confronted by the parents of a fallen soldier on why he supports NFL players kneeing for the national anthem. From a CNN townhall on Wednesday night:

BONACASA: Last Sunday our community had celebration for Gold Star parents. It was a very humbling ceremony but it brought us back to the day we lost our son. It was a very empty feeling. We came home, turned on the TV and there was the NFL players on their knees. That was a slap in the face to us. So, my question is how do you support these multimillionaires on their knees and don't support what the fallen heroes died for?

Spike Lee, an open anti-Semite, adored in Hollywood. A first class, no class bum.

I would suggest that whole social platform is now open. Anyone who thinks it’s owned by the NFL, the players, or the BLM crowd...no. You could easily have three-hundred Nazis show up at some Chicago game and do a Nazi salute in the middle of the National Anthem. There are hundreds of social causes...any of them can dram up some stance, some arm movement, or some squatting motion...all to drum up their social platform.

If you ask me....the Pandora’s Box has been opened now.

All these players have said many, many, times that they've respect the armed forces. They respect the flag and they respect America and this narrative that when they take a knee it's insulting your son who is no longer here is not true -- they've said that again and again and again.

They can shout it to the moon, but their actions belie their words.

Filthy scum.

These guys that don’t believe taking a knee during the anthem is a insult to our country, our military and veterans are delusional.

Fun fact: On the TV show about celebrity geneology called “Who Do You Think You Are?”, it was determined that Spike Lee is a descendant of a slave trader.

Ben Affleck had two or three ancestors who the show uncovered as slave owners.
IIRC, Affeleck had that "revealing" part of the show censored.

Also true for Michael Robinson.

Unlike Spike Lee, my ancestry had nothing to do with slave owning from either side.

I’m tired of being blamed for an institution the Africans fed, the Muslims brokered, and the Brits funded.

Yes, slavery is BAD. We know this. Christians were the only ones who actually worked to end it. I’m a Christian.

Leave me alone now!

A spirit of bitterness rages in Spike Lee. I’ve met him in person and it showed then.

Simple answer: "Because black skin trumps all else."

The pandering to blacks by LBJ and the democrats have created a monster that is now out of control.
