Declaration Of Freedom

I think the United States is not upholding the principles of the Declaration of Independence. For example, NFL players are kneeling during the National Anthem to protest racial injustice and killing the lives of black people. I think all humans should have the same rights. We were born free so all people have an equal right to freedom, but does not mean we can do anything or can freedom mean limiting others.

NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem to protest racial injustice and killing the lives of black people. Roger Goodell says, “players aren’t trying to be disrespectful to the flag.” Many people in our country think that not everyone has the same rights and freedom. The president of the United States stated “The NFL has decided
that it will not force players to stand for the playing of our National Anthem. Total disrespect for our great country.”

Each year many african-americans are asking why they don’t get the same rights as white people. Blacks are nearly two and a half times more to be killed by police than whites. Today blacks have the same rights as whites by law, but many people don’t follow it. I think that blacks have the same rights and freedom as whites do. I think this because they are humans just like us, and everyone has the right to freedom.
