If there’s one thing that liberal “celebrities” have become good at over the years – with the exception of being wrong – is baiting conservatives into long drawn out debates over things that only serve to give these celebrities publicity.
Case and point, this whole ordeal with 49ers quaterback Colin Kapernick, who refused to stand during the National Anthem before the game. Yes, it is incredibly disrespectful, and he has no room to be talking about oppression with his ridiculous salary numbered in the millions, but putting his face and words up all over the Internet and various other types of news media is doing nothing but helping his failing name as an athlete stay relevant for a little longer.
Now, John Legend is weighing in on the argument, calling the Star Spangled Banner a “weak song.” He then went on to claim that he was the best there is at singing the song. It looks like that Grammy is going to his head. According to his logic, Kapernick’s protest wasn’t about the lyrics but about about the value of the lives of colored Americans.
This is where this new “Civil Rights” movement makes absolutely no sense. Americans are equal! African-Americans have just as many rights and chances at happiness as anybody else in America. They just need to pursue it! This isn’t the first time Legend has thrown his hat into the political arena, he recently said that Trump’s presidency will lead to a new era of slavery.

And your a a weak Entertainer
John You are weak minded you should thank god you live in a country where you can voice your opinion
You know what amazes me? All these musicians and movie stars being dumb enough to p**s off at least 50% of their fans with their political opinions. That’s money out of their own pockets for what? They are paid to entertain us, not to share their idiotic opinions. They’ve never been known for their brains. Joe McCarthy had the right idea.
No its not , your just a weak singer !
Try looking up some info on the song you jerk. It was written bt Francis Scott Key while he was a prisoner on a British ship as they were bombarding a certain fort (look it up) during the War of 1812. He wrote the song as a tribute to the fact that even though the fort was being lit up, the flag still fluttered above the fort. If thats weak, then you are lame.
Not if you know and understand the story behind the words it is one of the most moving songs ever written.
Don’t even know who John Legend is so he isn’t a legend that has gotten this far yet. lol.
Probably couldn’t hit the high notes.
Bless his heart….
