I pledge allegiance to HEAVEN, not stolen property

I’m surprised kneeling during the anthem has gotten so much heat. The confederate flag being woven around seems worse to me but nobody seems to care about that.

[aboubacar]

I love this show. I wish it was a little longer lol

The Bible is right, "The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil". Black people have to love their Integrity more than money. You can lose money and get more, but it is hard to regain Integrity once it is lost.

If you think Trump should be impeached like I do, send a thumbs up

[rendenwright]

Quote anthem home of the brave land of the free NFL is not representative of the flag because players are FORCED TO STAND

[chazaq]

It's unpatriotic to have vets homeless, mentally Ill with no help, jobless, I could careless about standing or kneeling. Symbolism is taking precedence over real humans.

[TravelWright]

Someone in the military told them to kneel

Quanell x aka Farrakhan Jr I love this brother

The black athletes make the NFL. They make the NBA too. If we stopped playing those sports the 2 sports would collapse. We need to steer our youth into education and not sports. So that we can stop playing sports to make the OWNERS rich.

[ramankaur]

The last sentence hit the nail on the head!

[MiMiOrt]

'Where everybody is equal' ... What's the name of that movie 🎥, Long Tie Guy??

[nannr]

That whiteguy always gets confounded 😂😂😂😂😂

[trigga]

He meant Eric Reid not 'Davis'

[chrisoliver]

God ain't blessings this filthy place. God loves Jacob not Esau

What if the tradition is offensive to you but not to them, what if historically and purposely their traditional ways were non-inclusive of you and others because of your natural ethnicity/the color of your skin....

What if celebrating their traditions offends those in your direct and extended family, friends and those in your neighborhood and throughout the country of the USA?



The United States National Anthem gets glossed over, there’s 3 additional verses to the entire anthem and just because they don’t get sung does not change there both implied and direct meaning.

3rd verse of the anthem:

“And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

*Band : a company of persons or, sometimes, animals or things, joined, acting, or functioning together; aggregation; party; troop:

*Vauntingly : to speak vaingloriously of; boast of:

*Refuge : a place of shelter, protection, or safety.

*Hireling : a person who works only for pay, especially in a menial or boring job, with little or no concern for the value of the work

*Slave : a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.



The Pledge of Allegiance :

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country.

Jim Crow Laws : 1877

In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added.

Jim Crow Laws still in effect legally in 1923

In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God, " creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration.

Brown vs. Board of education was a court case where the Supreme court  made it illegal to have separate schools. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it illegal to treat others differently because of the race, gender, color, religion and national origin. The Voting Rights Act  of 1965 made it illegal to discriminate against people who wanted to vote. The combination of these major national laws led to the end of Jim Crow.

Also, in 1954 Jim Crow Laws were still legal...

During the creation, revisions of the pledge of allegiance.... Black People weren’t included, purposely.

Once again to clearly state : 🖕🏽your flag 🖕🏽your anthem & 🖕🏽your pledge
