Discussion Prompts:

1. Apply the ideas presented in Tuesday’s readings (Cobb and Blasdel’s online articles: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/may/31/how-the-resurgence-of-white-supremacy-in-the-us-sparked-a-war-over-free-speech-aclu-charlottesville

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/race-and-the-free-speech-diversion ) to the NFL protests, Roseanne, or the two hip-hop videos (Childish Gambino and Bobby Sessions). Quote specific sections from Tuesday’s readings and describe how they helped you deepen or even redirect your response to these recent phenomena.

2. How does Bennett react to criticisms of his decision not to stand for the national

anthem? What do you make of his argument that this form of protest is not anti-

American, but in fact at the very root of the American ideals we hold dear?

3. On pg 7, Bennett depicts Miss Pennie’s advice on what to do to avoid being “judged to

be somebody we weren’t.” How would you connect that message to Bennett’s discussion

of the reaction to his joining in the NFL kneeling protests in his preface?
