This is the problem, some modern black people are holding grudges for things they weren’t alive to be offended by, clinging to an argument because instead of contributing to society, they want to keep playing the victim. Legend, an avid Black Lives Matter supporter, offers plenty of proof of this claim.
“For those defending the current anthem, do you really truly love that song? I don’t and I’m very good at singing it. Like, one of the best,” Legend tweeted.
The “Love in the Future” singer’s social media missives were apparently meant in defense of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision to remain seated during the singing of the National Anthem during an NFL preseason game Friday night.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick told the press on Sunday after the game.
“To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
Poor Kapernick, with his eight million dollars a season. He must really know what it’s like to be oppressed. Ironically, he’s part of the problem he claims to be trying to bring attention to. And as for John Legend, every time he opens his mouth, he spews hate. Maybe he should stick to singing and let intelligent people deal with politics.
