Part of the smear Colin Kaepernick playbook is to make kneeling during the National Anthem against racism and police brutality seem like an attack on the military when it clearly isn’t.
Another part of the playbook is to say black people don’t have it as bad as they make it out to be and if they want to protest they need to do it in a way that makes white people comfortable.
Neal McCoy covers both in his dumbass quotes about his dumbass song.
Country musician Neal McCoy released a song called “Take a Knee, My Ass” on Facebook Live, a pointed dig at those who chose to exercise their constitutional right to protest inequality and racial injustice during the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner.”
“I’ve been on 15 USO tours,” McCoy said to WCMH. “I’ve entertained our troops in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and all over the world. So, no, this is not a money grab. This is a guy that believes in our country, that does not like people kneeling, not standing with their hands over their hearts, for the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem. That’s what I’m about.”
“Now, I didn’t read the article, I saw it when I was driving, I understand they’re probably going to say he’s done a lot for Civil Rights and everything, and maybe he has. Maybe whatever he was trying to do, with civil unrest, maybe African Americans being treated wrong, or not equally, and some of that’s right. Maybe that’s what he was trying to do. But, taking a knee during the National Anthem at a professional NFL game is not the way to do it.”
Racists are no profiting on black people asking for equality. Imagine that.
