O'Reilly, You might want to REWORD that "Grievance Train" Cynicism.

JUST SAY'n..."I can hear my neighbor crying, I can't breath, Now I'm in the struggle and I can't leave. Calling out the violence of the racist police. We ain't gonna stop, til people are free; We ain't gonna stop, til people are free". 


On his "Talking Points" memo Bill O'Reilly chastised "some" Black Americans for "Hating America"  while making a point of criticizing Samuel L. Jackson for having joined the "Grievance Train" in attempting to "diminish" America when Jackson, on his Facebook page, posted a challenge to celebrities to sing the "We ain't gonna stop, til people are Free" song.  It should be noted that there is no mention of anything negative about the United States of America in the song, only about "calling out the violence of the racist police". That's exercising his right to free speech as an American citizen Mr. O'Reilly; the one that reads like this:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

There's that "grievance" word again...seems like the founding fathers pictured a day when SOME people would presume to stop citizens from expressing their peaceful desire to see the nation improve in unacceptable areas. And the murder of Black men by police is certainly worthy of that dissent. The founding fathers thought a Black Life Mattered when they went to war after the murder of Crispus Attucks during the Boston Massacre. 

Singing that song of dissent against oppressive authority is in the tradition of the founding fathers of this great nation.  Now diminishing America would be the 23 states that signed petitions to succeed from the US back in 2012 after the President was REELECTED in an open and free election, in accordance with the democratic process of this nation. Or how about wanting to "sue" the President for attempting to execute the mandates of his office. At that time, were you railing at those groups of individuals as "Hating America" or for attempting to "diminish" it?  Yeah...thought not...JUST SAY'n!
