🔴 Amid bridge tragedy, Washington Post calls out Francis Scott Key as a racist

Francis Scott Key is best known for writing the poem that became America’s National Anthem: "The Star-Spangled Banner." Key wrote the lyrics after an 1814 British attack on Fort McHenry, which is right by the bridge that has just collapsed in Baltimore this week. The bridge also happens to be named after Francis Scott Key. Americans all over the country woke up to the collapse of the bridge this week — but the Washington Post is already calling out Key for his “racist views” in what Pat Gray believes is an obvious attempt to erase American history. “Nobody even knows the verse they're referencing here,” Gray says.
