This is accepting the nutbag talking point.
Those taking a knee during the anthem are not doing so to protest the anthem.

“No refuge could save the hireling and slave/From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave” — “literally celebrates the murder of African-Americans”?
More: Is the National Anthem Racist? Beyond the Debate Over Colin Kaepernick
It could certainly be interpreted as racist. What do you think?
I'm very sorry to interrupt such a fine display of faux outrage with reality - that line was written about those fighting under the Union Jack - regulars, mercenaries, conscripts.
Thankfully Old Glory triumphantly waves over the home of the willfully ignorant as well as the brave.
NO.
Beyond the Debate Over Colin Kaepernick
The continuing refusal by the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to stand during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games has set off a debate about patriotism, protest and professional sports. But it has also raised another fraught question: Is our national anthem itself racist?
The journalist Jon Schwarz, writing in The Intercept, argued yes, denouncing the lyrics, written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812, as “a celebration of slavery.” How could black players, Mr. Schwarz asked, be expected to stand for a song whose rarely sung third stanza — which includes the lines “No refuge could save the hireling and slave/From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave” — “literally celebrates the murder of African-Americans”?

Is Columbus Day Going Extinct?Everything you named was either a homicidal maniac, a traitor, a racist, or created by a racist. How did you manage that?First it was the Confederate flag, then Confederate Generals, next Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Christopher Columbus, now it's the National Anthem.
You gave them an inch, now they're taking their mile.
If you can make that a central theme of the Democrat Party before the 2018 elections, you'll have my eternal thanks.
No need to get the dems to work on this one.
Maybe the District of COLUMBIA should be extinct.

If you think Kaepernick knew anything other then the words that are sung as our national anthem you truly are on drugs.It has become much more than just about Colin Kaepernick. It has also opened my eyes. I originally just thought Kaepernick was being a jerk, but now - not so much.
Is it racist, to a liberal yes of course, everything is racist to them. To a conservative, WTH are you even squawking about?
Good thing for him that Kaepernick's parents are less racist then he is.

WHat do you mean Kapernick.. "continuing refusal" to stand for anthem??
He is unemployed. The only thing he is continuing to do is losing his wealth for being an asshole.

transgender

Everything about America, past and present, is racist to you people. Statues, songs, TV shows, regulations, laws, textbooks, schools, novels, movies, retail items, mascots, advertisements.
What is next? I'll bet you people will find The Emancipation Proclomation to be racist.

He doesnt have a problem with white people. He has a problem with white racists you retarded monkey.Gee, doesn't have a problem with a white man signing his checkThe continuing refusal by the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to stand during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games has set off a debate about patriotism, protest and professional sports.
Fucking hypocrite attention whoreFuck you dick head!He doesnt have a problem with white people. He has a problem with white racists you retarded monkey.
If he has a problem with only white racists,
then his problem is with white people!
Like, only white people are racists...
Black people are racist too
Besides, that's his problem...
you can't make people not hate...
it'll never happen, he'll be kneeling to his grave
If he hates racism so much,
maybe he'd like to advocate for abolishing affirmative action
I don't have a problem with black people,
I have a problem with ignorant, lazy ass,
ghetto trash and gang banger thugs, ...
in other words, n1ggers
"If he has a problem with only white racists,
then his problem is with white people!"
So all whites are racist? Thats pretty much what I thought but I have never had a white person come out and admit this.
Of course he cant make people not hate. However he doesnt have to placidly accept their hate as something he must honor by standing when the racist song is played.
White AA stood for 400 plus years. Why should he accept less than what you guys got?
No one asked you or cares who you have a problem with. Theres not much you can do other than get emotional like youre doing now. Hows that working for you?

The U.S. Flag is racist if you use your way of thinking... Hell everything about America is racist to those like you...
So don't stand, salute or acknowledge anything that has to do with America because all of it is racist in your eyes and don't deny it because you know what I have written to be true!
I dont honor all that bullshit america crap because I dont believe encouraging lies. When you got inbred monkeys supporting the so called POTUS and some recessive is trying to chastise you about the flag you know something is messed up pretty badly.

Well, we do have to give Pittsburgh credit for not changing the team's name. Recall the Washington DC Bullets had to change their name so as not to offend Afro American behavior in the cities, yutes shooting bullets at each other? As you know Afro Americans also steal stuff all the time, way, way out of proportion to other groups, so it is great they do not succumb to the PC crowd and that calling the Blacks "stealers" is not currently offensive.

to a white franchise owner, either.
He sold himself to a white man and has no problem,
placidly accepting their hate, for the right amount of money!
Not standing for the anthem, disrespects veterans
and has nothing to do with his issues

All whites are not racist so his problem is with racist whites. in mathematical terms racist whites are a subset of whites. Is the mental fog lifting now?
