President Dotard has made sports his new battlefield. He will lose.
Donald “chickenhawk” Trump and his Trumpanzees apparently don’t understand patriotism. Patriotism isn’t a flag or a song. It’s fighting for a country on foreign soil even when here at home, in your own state or county, you wouldn’t be permitted to sit at a lunch counter. It’s putting your body on the line even when you were not permitted to vote. It’s righting your country when it’s wrong. Not accepting that is to remain ignorant about why America exists.
America is the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Being young and black in America requires bravery every day. The questions to ask are why in 21st Century America is that a requirement, and why doesn’t our President get it?
African Americans and decent people of all races, religions, and creeds know this. African Americans have fought in every American war going back to the Revolutionary War. What Trumpanzees don’t seem to understand is that the most disrespectful thing you could do is to fly a Confederate Flag, the flag of succession, next to the Stars and Stripes. The two cannot stand together. One represents attacking the United States and dismantling it from the inside, and the other stands for a more perfect union. When will Trump learn that?
