    We are a nation full of differences of opinions. If the National Anthem is true to its lyrics then what Jill Scott did wouldn’t be in question. We are suppose to be proud to be Americans. Not White American, Asian American, Hispanics American or African American just American and that can’t be true due to systemic racism. We are all identified by race first and Americans second. The question isn’t are we proud to be Americans but is America proud to be represented by us? (I’m Just Saying)

And if you knew anything you would realize that life for her ain’t been no crystal staircase - before she “made it” or afterwards- trust and believe she has had to deal with some crap in the industry.
      Furthermore- did you listen to all of what she said…

    She was born in Philadelphia to a single mother. She went to high school here. Worked two jobs, dropped out of college, started doing spoken word poetry and from they're on was able to build a career in music after meeting influential artists. She did all that in the United States. If she wasn't born here, then she wouldn't have had access to the same level of opportunities. She's not from another country. She's a US citizen. And I'll tell you right now if she did that in Russia, she would be in prison or worse.
    She's a hypocrite. She built herself up from nothing thanks to living in the USA. She isn't a slave. She's not shackled. She's not oppressed and if she was, she wouldn't be who she is at this moment. She proved the United States is a place where you can overcome your situation and become whatever you choose to be. She took our country's NATIONAL ANTHEM...and bastardized it with hateful rhetoric and outrageous claims that no longer exist today.
    Everyone experiences some sort of racism or hate or anger due to their ethnicity or culture. That is life in a nutshell. However, using it as a crutch and to keep pushing the idea that you're a slave and a victim is just absurd. Nobody in this country is any of that. I've experienced racism but that doesn't make me think the entire country is nothing but the land of slaves. That's just ignorant and stupid. It's an over exaggeration of a time in history that we are no longer in. Don't tell me you're oppressed. There's plenty of poor white people who have even more difficult lives than she grew up with. She wrote this when she was 12 or 19 or whatever and look at her now... worth $12 million and free to say whatever she wants on stage thanks to the freedoms of this country. That certainly doesn't mean that she can't face the consequences for doing so.
    This is no longer the land of the slave. It's the land of opportunity and she's living proof of that. Otherwise she would still be nothing. She is ungrateful. She's a liar. She is a hypocrite.

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”
