Him not standing up during a song is the disgrace? Not the part about police running around murdering brown and poor folk with no repercussions? Or the part about being called unpatriotic by pointing out inequality? Or the part about people ignoring his message and getting mad at 'his method' of protest? But him sitting is a national disgrace?

Yeah, okay.
