"If you know your history, you know the full song of the national anthem. The third paragraph speaks to slaves in America  our blood being slain  all over the floor," the Olympic hammer thrower said. "Its disrespectful, and it does not speak for black Americans. It's obvious. There's no question." The third stanza of the anthem Berry was referencing contains the lyrics, "Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution, and, No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.
