In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2018/02/06/tamron-hall-unapologetically-black-and-american/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.7e4a14bf9eb9">famous interview with the Washington Post, Hall explained what it meant to be “Unapologetically” black and American</a>, “When I say that I unapologetically love this country, you can love something or someone, and see all of their flaws, and see all of their beauty at the same time. That’s love. That’s the unconditional love of this country that my father fought for. As black Americans, whether it’s through the Black Panther movement, whether it’s the civil rights movement, we’ve been painted as being un-American. The fact of it is, there are American laws that have been used to oppress us, but we still love this country When <a href="/biography/colin-kaepernick">Colin Kaepernick</a> takes a knee, why can’t we say that is not against America, and listen to what he has to say? You may not agree with it, but to drape yourself in the flag and say he’s a bad, evil guy, that’s just to me wrong.”
