Viral Video: Racist Backlash Against Black Graduate for Not Standing During National Anthem

On the social platform X, user @IAnonPatriot shares provocative videos that satisfy MAGA's insatiable thirst for outrage. A recent clip showcasing a young Black woman at her college graduation, who chose not to stand for the national anthem, garnered nearly 700,000 views and elicited an array of intense responses. Many users echoed sentiments like one from MelindaJo, who suggested, “If she doesn’t like it, then just leave our country. Easy peasy.” Others fueled the fire with calls for deportation. This act of sitting during the anthem ignites passionate reactions, particularly among conservatives. Notably, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick faced significant backlash for kneeling during the anthem to protest racial inequality. Yet some voices defended the graduate, urging to celebrate her achievement rather than controversy.
