I remember Giuliani's quote.

He said it himself – "I know this is a horrible thing to say" – but former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani went ahead and said it anyway.

"I do not believe that the president loves America," Giuliani said Wednesday night at a private dinner of conservatives and business executives in New York City, according to Politico.

President Obama, the Republican Giuliani continued, "doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country."

Giuliani, asked Thursday morning about the accusation, told Fox and Friends: "I'm not questioning his patriotism. He's a patriot, I'm sure. What I'm saying is, in his rhetoric, I very rarely hear the things that I used to hear Ronald Reagan say, the things that I used to hear Bill Clinton say about how much he loves America."

My point here, Keys and Giuliani say they love America more because they are white. Neither has the right to that claim.

Yes many black men joined the British for a chance of freedom. I would have done the same if black, since our country never fully included you in the land of the free or the home of the brave.
