#Repost @taurastinson (@get_repost) γ»γ»γ» Sadly, nothing has changed since this was filmed. I have had a hard time with and have become overwhelmed with the state of this beautiful world. I combed over every lyric of the Star Spangled banner and for the life of me can't understand why one couldn't understand our position. There is an enlightening article on theroot.com (published 7/4/16) that addresses the hidden racist history of the National Anthem. My favorite line the article is that the "Star Spangled Banner is as much a patriotic song as it is a diss track to black people"... π© That's why it's important that we know who WE are and STAND and KNEEL beside one another so close and tightly that nothing or no one has a chance of laying us down. β€οΈπ€π And don't get me started on #45...I plan to not even speak his toxic name anymore. Just sharing my thoughts on this tough week...I had to turn off the news and connect to the source. My prayers and donations are also with heart Puerto Rico, Mexico and every righteous soul in need of healing, justice and the basic necessities that some of us take for granted. Thank you, Ms. Hattie...we will continue your work. β’ β’ β’ #Mobilize #DoSomething #HistoryRepeating #TakeTheKnee #StandUp #HattieMcDaniel #flagisdrenchedwithourblood #HattieSpeaks #BlackLove #BrownLove #Boricua
