I like to smack on my wings without anybody giving me any types of problems.
I like to eat a bunch of junk food, and I just want to be happy-go-lucky.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want to feel like I'm oppressed or think that I'm oppressed.
Oh, I'm getting ready to have a good time.
Wait a minute.
I do need to check myself.
I'm a black man.
Am I still oppressed inside of the United States of America?
And no, the answer is no.
And I love the Black National Anthem, but it's time to kiss it goodbye when it comes to the NFL, for God's sakes.
It's just not the time or place.
With sports events, you want to unify people.
And I'm sorry, I just don't think the Black National Anthem does, nor do I believe that it's fair to other people that have endured persecution within the United States.
I mean, for God's sakes, is there a Jewish, or the Jewish National Anthem?
We've seen a rise in anti-Semitism.
We saw all of the persecution that took place on college campuses across this nation.
And honestly, even after Donald Trump's election initially, and he's putting a smackdown on that, but I just think it's just...
Absolutely insane to keep this nonsense going.
I mean, should we have a national anthem for Native Americans?
I just don't get it.
I believe that they're exclusionary.
I don't believe that they're inclusionary when you're trying to implement the black national anthem.
I just think it's a bad idea.
I think it's time to move on.
Listen, Trump is cool now.
Colin Kaepernick is no longer cool when it comes to the NFL. So can we move on?
Can't we all just get along as the great philosopher?
Rodney King once said.
And I think one of the ways to get along is to unify behind one anthem, and that is our national anthem.
That's unifying for everyone.
