Make America Great Again

Kneeling for the anthem is not disrespectful to our troops. It’s not dishonoring the heroes that gave their lives to safeguard the very ability for us to take that knee. Not saluting the flag isn’t the same as burning it. The fact that this needs to be explained is insane to me. I’m not out here trying to belittle our armed services. I appreciate everything they do to protect our people. My brother is a vet. My uncle is one, too. So was my grandpa. I never enlisted because I don’t believe in fighting a war with no end against an enemy whose belief system is so stalwart, they’ll blow themselves up just to kill a few extra people. I don’t believe in attacking people poorer than I, so we can occupy their resource rich country, and rape whatever little economic independence they had for ourselves. I don’t believe our troops should have to bleed for misplaced ideals fed to them through the most insidious of propaganda by a corporate backed government that doesn’t give two sh*ts about them. I have nothing but love for our troops. I respect and hold them in the utmost regard. I do not feel the same about a country and government that sends these young men to their deaths for capital gains or, in the case of North Korea, a goddamn Twitter spat.

The kneeling is because the president of the supposed “Greatest country in the world” can’t call out Nazi’s marching on American soil for their hateful, ignorant, violent, acts. The kneeling is because "MAGA" means White nationalists can run down and kill innocent protesters in the streets of Charlotteville but cats taking a knee during the anthem at a f*cking football game, specifically to bring awareness to these exact social issues, are called “Sons of B*tches” by the sitting POTUS. The kneeling is because Flint, Michigan hasn’t had clean water for over 1000 days but you got the time to sh*t talk Steph Curry because he isn't worshiping at the altar of Drumpf.The kneeling is because, in 2017, Years after sit-ins, marches, and peaceful protests - decades after the hoses, the beatings, the pepper spray, and the dogs, a little mixed boy out in New Hampshire was almost lynched by a bunch of white teenagers but “there’s bad on both sides.” The kneeling is a means to draw attention to these hypocrisies. It’s a means to keep a conversation going about very real issues that are still very real problems in our society.

The kneeling means we keep the voices of Trayvon Martin, Philando Castile, Sandra Bland, Alton Sterling, Eric Garner, Korryn Gaines and Mike Brown loud and powerful. The kneeling is so I can walk to my corner market in a hoodie for skittles and an Arizona while not looking over my shoulder for a maniac with an inferiority complex and a gun. The kneeling is so my 11 year old niece can play Cowboys and Indians at the local park and NOT be murdered by a trigger happy coward because her pop gun wasn’t fluorescent yellow enough. The kneeling is so my little brother, as big as he is, doesn’t have to worry about being choked to death by a bunch of uniformed pricks, because he wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes.The kneeling is so the woman I love doesn’t have to have a f*cking panic attack because her cubicle neighbor at work keeps spewing a bunch of anti-minority rhetoric. The kneeling is so my little sister doesn’t have to be afraid to fly because she is Desi and motherf*ckers just see terrorist. The kneeling is so I don’t have to bury my goddamn child because they wanted to play hide-n-seek in the wrong f*cking neighborhood. If you dicks all up at arms about a peaceful, lawful, protest would get as mad about my people getting murdered in the streets as you do about this goddamn flag nonsense, there wouldn’t even have to be flag nonsense! I hate that I have to make that distinction. It’s common sense. It’s basic humanity! But that’s the problem. If you look like I do, you’re not human, you’re a target. You’re a threat.

The first time a cop put his hand on his fireman in front of me, I was four years old. I was lost and in need of some help. Instead, this cat thought it was necessary to prepare for a shot that would have most certainly killed me. Four. Years. Old. Am I really that much of a threat as a glorified toddler? I was ten the first time I felt the clap of cuffs and the end of a barrel pressed against my back. Ten. All because there were too many of us at a park and some old white lady felt threatened. We were playing basketball. at the school yard. This b*tch lived two blocks away. She just saw a bunch of little nigglets having fun and called the fuzz, who then decided that we all “fit a description” and needed to be detained. Ten. I was in my 20s when I was stopped and detained while walking to work in a predominantly well off, white, middle class neighborhood, because I was black and in a hoodie. The reason I was walking was because my car had been stolen about a week earlier and the police, them Protect and Serve mother*ckers, refused to help. I needed to get to work. Excuse me for man-ing the f*ck up.

I don’t like cops. I don’t trust them. I don’t like all this institutionalized racism. I don’t trust the system. I don’t trust America. Why should i? Look back at my people’s history and ask yourself if you would trust these mother*ckers. Do I love this country? Do I love America? I love this country about as much as this country loves me. I say again, Look back on how we as black people, and minorities in general, have been treated. Look back and ponder what 400 years of oppression does to a people. Imagine how 200 years of slavery can infect a culture. Take a minute to digest all of that and I think you’ll have your answer. If that makes you uncomfortable, it should. THAT’S why we kneel for the goddamn anthem. Assholes.
