A Republican county official in Pennsylvania has resigned after writing Facebook posts calling NFL players who protest during the national anthem "baboons" and "ignorant blacks."
Carla Maloney, who served as secretary of the Beaver County Republican Committee, wrote in a resignation letter Friday that her posts were "distasteful, inappropriate and insensitive."

"Tired of these over paid ignorant blacks telling me what I should believe in. I will tell you what I believe in and that is our Flag the National Anthem and America period end of story," she wrote in one post. "You don't like it here go to Africa see how you like it there. We are all Americans not African American not Hispanic American. WE ARE ALL AMERICAN."
Maloney wrote in another comment, "Steelers are now just as bad as the rest of the over paid (sic) baboons. You respect your flag, country and our national anthem ... Let's see how the baboons get paid when white people stop paying their salaries."

Taking a knee during the national anthem is not because people are upset at individual citizens' abhorrent actions - it is done because people PAID by our tax money are using their positions to abuse and discriminate against people of color.
