Not all heroes wear capes.

Gladys Knight McDowell, who will be singing the National Anthem for the SB:


“I understand that Mr. Kaepernick is protesting two things, and they are police violence and injustice,” she wrote. “It is unfortunate that our National Anthem has been dragged into this debate when the distinctive senses of the National Anthem and fighting for justice should each stand alone.


I am here today and on Sunday, Feb. 3 to give the Anthem back its voice, to stand for that historic choice of words, the way it unites us when we hear it and to free it from the same prejudices and struggles I have fought long and hard for all my life, from walking back hallways, from marching with our social leaders, from using my voice for good — I have been in the forefront of this battle longer than most of those voicing their opinions to win the right to sing our country’s Anthem on a stage as large as the Super Bowl LIII.


“No matter who chooses to deflect with this narrative and continue to mix these two in the same message, it is not so and cannot be made so by anyone speaking it. I pray that this National Anthem will bring us all together in a way never before witnessed and we can move forward and untangle these truths which mean so much to all of us.” ~ Gladys Knight McDowell

Hey Basin Cruiser. I like that you put J. Reuben Clark in your signature.

"During Clark's lifetime, Utah had de facto segregation policies, and males of African descent were excluded (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people_and_Mormonism) from the LDS priesthood (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priesthood_(LDS_Church)). As a church leader, Clark resisted the social integration of whites and blacks and strongly opposed interracial marriage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage_in_the_United_States), explaining in a 1949 letter: "Since they are not entitled to the Priesthood, the Church discourages social intercourse with the negro race, because such intercourse leads to marriage, and the offspring possess negro blood and is therefore subject to the inhibition set out in our Scripture."[51] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Reuben_Clark#cite_note-54) Clark nevertheless expressed support for Brown v. Board of Education (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_v._Board_of_Education), stating that "the Latter-day Saints willingly accord to [blacks] in civil matters all the rights, privileges, liberties, and protection guaranteed them... in all their social, economic, and political activities."[52] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Reuben_Clark#cite_note-55)
Quinn notes that "there was one ethnic group, however, for whom Reuben expressed lifelong dislike and distrust—the Jewish people."[53] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Reuben_Clark#cite_note-56) According to Quinn, Clark kept several copies of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion) in his personal library and shared it and other anti-Semitic publications with colleagues and acquaintances.[54] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Reuben_Clark#cite_note-57) He expressed anti-Semitic attitudes in "code words publicly and in specifics privately" and used his church position to obstruct what he perceived as "Jewish influence."[55] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Reuben_Clark#cite_note-58) After Nazi Germany (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany)'s annexation of Austria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss), Clark denied desperate pleas by Austrian Mormon converts from Judaism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism_and_Mormonism) who sought the church's help in emigrating to safety.[56]" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Reuben_Clark#cite_note-59)

That’s nice to know, thanks. From now on, I’ll pass through you any quotes so you can do a background check and see what kind of dirt you can dig up on them. Especially when it has nothing to do with the quote. :2thumbs::roflol:

oh, and have a nice day. :mrgreen:
