  • But that was long ago, and one thing black people definitely don’t suffer anymore is oppression. Rather, many dish it out, aided by their allies of other races, as seen most dramatically in the terroristic Floyd Riots, but it happens every day in every organization in America.

    2. As a child, I would just be silent during the ‘under god’ part. No one noticed. If they had, there isn’t really anything they could do about it.
    3. There have been lawsuits. Basically, you are not legally obligated to say it. There would be a lot of peer pressure to do so, because each of our school days would start with the whole class saying it.

    “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America”
    I swear loyalty to the flag
    “and to the Republic for which it stands,”
    and to the government it represents
    “one Nation under God,”
    a country guided by the Lord!
    “indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”
    united, with freedom and justice for everyone*
