Like my mother said, we helped to build this country. We did it before and after the Civil War.
Francis Scott Key, like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Jefferson Davis, Ulysses S. Grant, and Abraham Lincoln, is dead, but the affects of their actions are with us today. Look at the right to vote taken away from ex-felons. It did not start 30-40 years ago. We can go back to the 1870s. Look at the words of Virginia's Carter Glass a little over 100 years ago (

The Jews suffered under Jim Crow too. Look at the case of Leo Frank and Mary Phagan in Atlanta. Frank was found guilty with the partial help of a Black man and sentenced to death. (Some hated Jews more than they did Black people.) His sentence was commuted by the governor, but Frank was lynched in 1915 in what is now Marietta. The Jews realized after this and other situations that they needed to stick together, and we see the results of their actions today.
I am not surprised by Brown's words on Kaepernick.
