In reply to the discussion: Katie Couric Exposes RBG After 'Protecting' Her from Scolding National Anthem Kneelers Like Colin Ka [View all]Autumn
(45,022 posts)30. My post was in response to what RBG supposedly said
"not standing for the anthem depicts a contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life
Which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from
"
What I bolded I disagree with 100%. That may be her history but not his.
I'm not talking about where she came from, I'm talking about where he came from. His family had privilege that others don't. He did not kneel to show contempt, he knelt for the injustice of what government agencies and our justice system has allowed.

'Protecting' an interview subject. I'll bet she wonders why she's not taken as a serious journalist.
