Transcription
It was because in the verse of the national anthem it’s what they’re saying about the land of the free, home of the brave, stuff like that, and it doesn’t apply for the black community cause’ we’re not free; most of our black people are in jail. All of the stuff that they’re saying inside the national anthem is pretty much tended to the white men, not necessarily the black community or black people period. So, it’s contradicting. So, I’m not gonna stand up for you if you’re not talking about me.
