Hello, I wrote this in response to incorrect allegations which Carl and
others have posed. I may have used Americans unintentionally. I obviously
did not mean to expressively generalise. I do have great friends in the
States such as Pia, Alison and others. Although I disagree with him
fundamentally, I still consider Carl a friend. Do you know what the problem
is? When we hear the word American, what first thing that comes to our mind?
Unfortunately, they aren't the good ones I just mentioned. White
supremacists dominate the portrait of American. White supremacists and Trump
boosters predominate American symbolism. So, we persuasively are obliged to
react in such strident manner. As for footballers, when Trump affronted the
footballer during his ardent rally in Huntsville, get that son of, whatever
he said off the field, no one opposed his explicit discourtesy. People at
the rally passed such offensive remarks without any criticism. I really do
not know, what is the point in insulting the guy's mother? People here
consider not standing to the national anthem in a public forum a bit
unmannered and unprofessional. No one considers this unpatriotic. Patriotism
is your temperament to persistently criticise and redress your nation's
errors. If that footballer chose not to stand to the national anthem for
whatever justifications he is convinced with, he should have not been
portrayed disgraceful and disloyal. I never stood to the national anthem
here long time ago. I hope I clarified what I meant. Good Americans have a
furious battle to fight. It's awkward because Americanism doesn't concur
with loyalty. Each and every American belong to another country, the place
where his ancestors initially came from. You couldn't commit your loyalty to
two different countries at the same time. I disbelieve in dual citizenship.
This is the same problem Israel has. Jews who migrated there have some
recognition to the countries where they came from. Love of country and
willingness to sacrifice for it couldn't be bought, forced, typified or
brought. It basically has to be from the bottom of the jawsjaws120kfrheart.
