That was then, and this is now. Quite different.

The point is it's being introduced as an alternative national anthem but only to one segment of the population which by definition, and probably design, is divisive. ... yes, I will definitely take a knee in protest.

I would also protest some rioter toppling a statue of Abraham Lincoln for that matter
