For most Americans who are proud of our exceptional nation, our national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner, is intended to be a unifying symbol of national pride and patriotism.

Unfortunately, a cohort of black activists claims that the anthem does not resonate with everyone in the same way and that we should consider that disrespecting the anthem may stem from a desire to challenge the status quo and highlight the need for inclusivity in our national narratives.

Pretty much the same racial activists and agitators who dare not mention their preferred party, the progressive communist democrats, were at the root of slavery, secession, segregation, the fight against civil rights, Jim Crow, and the KKK.

The very same racial activists and agitators who dare not mention that their people, unlike recent black immigrants, have squandered favored opportunities and billions of dollars and yet remain a cohort of victims.

The same racists who cannot explain the rampant criminality in their decaying neighborhoods, which they refuse to repair while waiting for government action. Of course, we are not speaking of the elderly or the infirm, but the young able-body youth who feign crying out in protest when they burn down their own neighborhoods or loot their own stores.

Therefore, I call bullshit on these ignorant, ill-informed black progressive communist democrats as they continue stoking racial division to feather their own nests.

Bottom line…

According to researchers, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs, much of which the politically-connected special interests siphoned off, with a large chunk invested in keeping the black vote for democrats.

The government was more vested in doing things for the blacks, such as cleaning up their neighborhoods, than teaching them to keep those neighborhoods clean for themselves. Thus, creating a dark, decaying, dingy, and depressing environment that sapped the hope and ambitions of all residents. Funny how many crapholes have state-of-the-art electronics.

Don’t tell me that disrespecting the national anthem, when done constructively, can initiate a national dialogue about the core principles and values our nation holds dear and open an opportunity for diverse perspectives to be heard and considered so we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges our country faces and find common ground on how to address them.

That is pure bullshit: There is no discussion necessary about American core values: freedom, liberty, justice, and the rule of law.

If any discussion is to be furthered, it should be within the black community.

• Black leaders promoting racial division for profit: Why their leadership sold out to the progressive communist democrats in return for “walking around money” and crumbs from the Democrat's table?

• Higher levels of violence and crime: Why do they call for defunding the police, excusing black hooliganism in schools and the streets, and refusing to aid law enforcement, even confidentially, to make their neighborhoods safer?

• Breakdown of traditional family structures: Why do they tolerate rampant promiscuity and allow black men to shirk their parental responsibilities?

• Disparities in educational outcomes: Why they don’t riot over abysmal school systems that obstruct learning and social advancement?

It’s time for blacks to hold the progressive communist democrats accountable for their troubles, most of which are of their own making.

Time to consider realism, not racism.

We are so screwed.
