Look at that! Not only standing for the anthem but holding a hand over the heart!
I go to a lot of college basketball games, and it’s rare, very rare to see a black player hold their hand over their heart during the anthem. Hell, most of the white players don’t do it either to be “in solidarity” with their teammates.
Most blacks look like they don’t want to be there during the anthem. Once I saw a player playing with his balls during the anthem and I sent the coach an email. I didn’t know if the coach said anything to him or not, but I didn’t see him do it anymore.
the thing is that they have been misled by the media like the “river to the sea” useful idiots.
The USA before 1850 was bad to African Americans in many parts, but since then it has tried to make amends. Not completely successfully, but it has tried. Looking at the alternatives should broaden the mind.
Like after the Rumble in the Jungle, boxer Muhammed Ali was asked by a reporter, “Champ, what did you think of Africa?” Ali replied, “Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!”
The USA ain’t perfect for “African american” people, but it’s the best available. Note that I said “African American” - many people who self-label (or are labelled by others) as such are American. They don’t fit in with current African society (see the failure of Liberia).
