Meet the Press panelist claims national anthem is ‘white supremacist’

Sunday’s Meet the Press on NBC showed the latest in a troubling trend toward the terms “white supremacist” or “white supremacy” being overused and misused to the point that one may be unsure what to call actual white supremacists who really do advocate racist attitudes and favor discrimination to artificially benefit whites.

During a panel discussion of President Donald Trump condemning black athletes like Colin Kaepernick who have refused to stand during the national anthem at public games, panel member Stephen Henderson — editorial page editor for the Detroit Free Press — actually argued that the national anthem is “white supremacist” as he defended those who refuse to show the respect of standing.
