Oh okay so you chose to ignore it and draw your own conclusions at what point they were making, got it.

Dog they just listed reasons they think the maga reaction is stupid and you've got a whole write up as to why maga doesn't care about legality. You missed the plot it's okay.

I did not write "a whole write up", dog. It was 2 sentences. All of their reasons were legal, which is what I addressed.

as to why maga doesn't care about legality.

🤦‍♂️ No. Wrong again. My point was that it's not a legal issue.

We know that though. We know they only care because they're racist. The commenter doesn't care if it's a legal issue or not. They just think it's stupid and listed 6 reasons they think that. Move on it ain't that deep.

The commenter doesn't care if it's a legal issue or not.

Then why did they take the time to list 6 reasons why it's legal? 🤷

Just put your shovel down and move on.

Because it highlights a very obvious reason they have no reason to complain other than racism. This is like the fucking "I like waffles" tweet manifesting itself.

LOL yes, let's make up fake arguments to tear down, then assert that the only possible answer is the argument we pulled out of our ass!

Are you suggesting there is a non-racist reason to be upset about the black national anthem?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There are racist reasons and there are what I would consider to be illegitimate, but also perfectly non-racist, reasons someone might be upset.

Replace the national anthem with fucking Alanis Morissette or literally anything else and people are going to be outraged.

E: no you guys are right, I don't know what I was thinking, everything bad is the fault of racism. I repent of my sins.
