This is such a strange, uniquely American idea. It’s not The Military Anthem. It’s not The Troops Anthem. It’s the National Anthem. It’s for all of the people. It is not profession-specific.

With what Lebron, Carmelo, Paul and Wade did at the ESPYs, I fully anticipate something from them. Plus, all the WNBA protests really started this.

She has the right to wave the rainbow flag because public opinion grew less homophobic, and because of SCOTUS and changes in the law at the city & state level, not because of soldiers.

If a Cardinal did it though...

When I stand for the anthem I start mentally checking off the various ballpark foods I want to eat that day.

The first thing civil rights activists don't do is compare atrocities among the oppressed.

You REALLY don't want to have baseball players weigh in on this....

Soccer represent.

Well, Born in the USA isn’t exactly a red, white, and blue song, but very on brand with somebody who is protesting the flag. Though I’m sure at the time, she wasn’t protesting the government after she scored a goal.

¡Muy Am-bien!

Seeing that it’s face down, it’s probably Hillary, due to her poor health. Trump is strong, he only ever falls into a perfect sitting position. People are saying, and I mean a LOT of people are saying this, people are saying that Trump is a graceful faller, he’s great, just GREAT at falling, and a TREMENDOUS sitter,…

If there was ever a time for somebody’s passport to be mysteriously suspended...

That’s the worst thing that could happen right now. It would just make him a martyr and strengthen his insane point about mexico being full of criminals. What would actually help is if Trump shows up, then totally embarrasses himself of his own accord.

You can’t kill what’s already dead.

I haven’t spoken on this issue I guess I will now.

People who have a problem with BLM are reading it wrong. It doesn’t mean that black lives matter MORE it’s that they want people to know that black lives matter AT ALL! Just heinously idiotic. Had to explain this to some really ignorant family members...

Well, in defense of us white people, we’re a smug and condescending group. When we say for example, “stand up for what you believe in.” We really mean: “stand up for something that doesn’t make us feel uncomfortable about past actions that quite frankly may be frowned upon.”

I had posted this earlier but it probably fits better here. There is a certain hypocrisy the BLM movement has brought out of White America. You have this contingent which insists black people aren’t doing enough within their communities to police black on black violence, which may be very true. In the same breath,…

Sadly, this hasn’t always been the message for POC who just wanted to fuck right off...

Exactly, they all want to go back to America in the 50s, saying it was better then—-yup, it was great for all those non-whites too.
