happened a moment ago. so, baa can youry the white house says the president isn t against anyone. we ve said that he s just pro flag, you argue that and he s also said that race is not part of this. you argue that race very much is at the center at this. there s no question about it. and when you say that do you mind both in why the players are kneeling and also in the president s use of this? correct. i think that he s using this as a wedge issue. first of all, i mean i don t know why on god s green earth the president of the united states has time to or wants to wage cultural wars. yes, the issue is about race, the issue is about race in this country and race relations in this country and more specifically structure inqualities that we had. you had environmental in east
particular audience to rile them all, as you say, doesn t that seem inappropriate? isn t that using the flag? september 9th a nfl player who happened to be caucasian walked out and tweeted about him wanting to stand for the national anthem was is going to right pat tilman s name on his shoe. this is not an issue that s somehow coming back mind set of the people. i think it s important moment for the president to make okay so, to use this about riling up the base? i mean it was about riling up the base. it was about the number one currency we have in this country right now. it s not gold or silver t number one currency we have in this country is race and the president used that.
wanted them to do i have the right or progress tiff to do that in a private sector. the president cannot vidictate have anyone do. i think the nfl should come out and make a statement and say, if we re going to play the national anthem, which is knew, because it started in 2009, then players have to do x or y, if not they re going to have the slippery slope argument on whether or not they can do certain things or other things. which, in this case i believe is just offensive. that s the issue. let me just real quick, you can protest, you can be so upset at which i agree, with some of things that are going on especially to our community, but when you do something like protest in a way that is so offensive to the flag or to the soldiers veterans or to soldiers or to national anthem you detract from the message. i hope they can find a different message to keep on us message.
those people, kneeling to our anthem do you see a racial element in that? you can see a racial element in anything. do you see it? no i don t. only 8% of the african-american community gave him his vote, that s probably going to be the norm. i think what you saw in alabama, and you know very well that they take their football very seriously, was a president talking to the base and got them raled up about an issue that they knew they were going to care about, which is the american flag, which is the national anthem, which is pride in country, that s what that was about and they knew so about raling up debates? about an issue that is a very very important issue. and again, mccorey i agree with you. i wish the president would not have use that had phrase, son of
