What was said
"“The third verse is actually includes um language or verbiage within it. That's basically like no slave will escape, right? Like everything's good. The slaves won't be escaping.”"
Colin Kaepernick says a later verse of “The Star-Spangled Banner” includes wording he interprets as meaning “no slave will escape”. He argues the anthem should be judged in full and calls its lyrics racist.
