But yes, the issue is about race, the issue is about race in this country and race relations in this country and even more specifically structure inequalities that we have.
This isn't about disrespecting the national anthem. This isn't about disrespecting the flag or disrespecting the military.
This wasn't a dog whistle. This was a bullhorn and we're going to keep protesting.
It's not appropriate for the White House to go after private company or private individual and talk about that it's a fireable offense.
