DAVID GREENE: In Houston, Texas —
maybe more than most places — football looms large.
And so it is no surprise that NFL protests
during the national anthem have spilled into daily life.
RONNIE MITCHEM: I told the whole team exactly what would happen if they did kneel.
JOHN BARRETT: People of color have been saying they have been mistreated for years.
Police brutality — now people are talking about it.
INDIA LANDRY: It's going to take time, but eventually it'll change things.
GREENE: And of course, President Trump himself continues to weigh in.
TRUMP: Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners —
when somebody disrespects our flag —
to say, "Get that son of a b**** off the field right now.
Out! He's fired. He's fired!"
What began as protests against racial injustice
has morphed into a culture war.
It's messy. It's personal.
And in many ways, it's about what it means
for people of many races, backgrounds and politics to share the symbol of the American flag.
Just outside Houston, a highway divides two small towns:
one largely black, the other largely white.
Ronnie Mitchem is a pastor in Crosby, Texas,
and behind his church is the field where he coached a small but proud home-school football team.
Last year, Mitchem told his players that if they wanted to protest,
they could do it anytime, except during the anthem at their games.
And still, two of his players — both African-American — defied him,
and he then kicked them off the team.
The ensuing media coverage, the controversy, a few graduations —
resulted in Mitchem disbanding the football program altogether.
How painful was that for you, to watch your season unravel like that?
MITCHEM: I'd known my two players who knelt for two seasons.
One of them had been at my house, spent the night many times.
Him and my son were good friends.
This was a kid who actually on my birthday of 2017 wrote on Twitter:
"To the best coach you could ever have." Or "ask for."
You know, it was probably one of the ...
I know to other people it doesn't seem much, but to me
it was just one of the hardest moments of my life.
It broke my heart that they did that, because I thought we had an agreement.
Second of all, I knew that things were never going to be the same.
GREENE: So you brought up the whole kneeling question with them.
MITCHEM: Yeah, I talked with them about it and
I said, "Actually, you know the issue with the kneeling is
that it's disrespectful to those men and women who serve.
First of all, it's disrespectful to your country,
because you live in the greatest country on the face of the earth.
You're blessed already to be born an American.
So you've got a blessing." I said and then,
"You're looking at these men who have died and give everything for you and sacrificed.
They didn't have a life.
They were 18 years old just like some of you, and they died on a beach somewhere.
Never had the privilege to have a wife or kid or family."
And I said also, because you know it seemed to be about color to some extent and race.
I said that, "You know, there were white men who fought for the national anthem,
I mean for the flag, who fought to free slaves.
So when everybody wants to get you in this debate,
understand there were men who died, who were white, to free slaves.
So you know, we're not going to do this."
And my point was we're just going to show respect, and I expect that out of you.
GREENE: You said that you have taught these young men respect and that that's so important to you.
You know these two players have talked about that they felt —
not that they were disrespecting the flag —
they wanted to join a movement to speak out about how African-Americans are treated in this country.
Wouldn't it be the ultimate show of respect to them
or you to put your personal views about flag and country — as strong as they are — aside
to let them do something that is so important to them?
MITCHEM: Not when it comes to disrespecting my country. No.
I find it offensive.
I love those two boys, but if they love me in return and showed respect ...
I have rules. They know my rules.
You don't get respect by showing disrespect.
Because if you lose that symbol of America,
then what draws all of us — black, white, Hispanic, everybody — together.
Then, I mean, we're losing the symbol that should represent all of us.
And so disrespecting it — to me, it's the way I felt —
is just tearing that down in our society.
GREENE: Just across the highway from Crosby sits Barrett Station.
And that is where we met John Barrett.
He's the great-grandson of the freed slave who founded this town.
John Barrett maintains the estate, and he hosted us in his family museum.
Before we turned the microphones on, you were telling me a story about two girls,
little girls who visited your family's estate. Can you tell me that again?
BARRETT: Yeah. My cousin was throwing a festival.
They were on the opposite side of the compound, and they were looking over —
because when you look over from over there, and you see the house, it's just beautiful.
And they basically said amongst themselves:
They couldn't believe that these white people allowed all of these black people here.
And I just paused and looked at them for a second,
and I thought, "Oh, my God. We've got so far to go."
GREENE: What role does this moment play in that journey?
BARRETT: This moment right now is exposing the truth.
It's showing you that these issues really are real.
And the protest that Colin has brought about ...
I have an issue with him taking a knee. The knee is submissive.
There's nothing submissive about this. He should stand with his fist in the air.
GREENE: Colin Kaepernick and others, you're saying?
BARRETT: Yes. So he took it a step further and became submissive.
And people have an issue with that.
And that just tells you when you hear someone saying,
"Oh, he's being unpatriotic" or whatever. "He's disrespecting the flag" or whatever.
Man, he's taking a knee.
When you pray, you get on your knees.
People of color have been saying they've been mistreated for years, and people dismiss it.
"Oh, you're pulling the race card."
"Oh, that's really not happening. Oh, this. Oh, that."
Well, it did.
I mean, how many more episodes do we need?
GREENE: And are you saying that the racism that still exists in our country needed to be exposed?
BARRETT: And our president couldn't have done a better job.
I commend him for it. He pulled the cover off of all of it.
He did.
I thank him.
GREENE: He very famously came out and called NFL players who were protesting SOBs.
BARRETT: Honestly, it was trying ... it was dying out.
And when he di that, he stirred it back up.
GREENE: Are you glad that he stirred it back up?
Well, he's bringing — and maybe that was secretly his plan —
he's bringing issues back to the forefront.
GREENE: But you said you didn't necessarily like ...
BARRETT: I didn't like his choice of words, but by him doing that
he stirred it up, brought it back and now we have to deal with it.
GREENE: So is two years enough and now it's time to move on
to the next phase of what you're talking about, or do you want Trump to keep stirring this?
BARRETT: I don't want the stirring to continue.
No, I don't want the stirring to continue at all.
I think we need to come center now.
I think our president needs to bring his center now.
Now that he's done it and shown it, he needs to become a uniter.
GREENE: Do you see that happening?
BARRETT: He could do it.
GREENE: Do you see Donald Trump doing it?
BARRETT: I would like for him to do it.
I would like ... that would be a wonderful thing.
I would love to see him become a uniter now.
He's shown us. Now fix us.
GREENE: You really can't visit Texas on a Friday night without finding a football game, right?
I was in the stands here with India Landry,
who — as a sixth-grader, six years ago — started protesting police violence
by staying seated during the Pledge of Allegiance at school.
Her gesture took on new dimensions when NFL players began protesting in 2016,
and during her senior year she was expelled for not standing for the pledge.
So no one kneeled tonight?
LANDRY: No one kneeled. No, no one kneeled tonight.
GREENE: What do you think of that? Do you ...
LANDRY: I'm not against it. I wouldn't do it. I would kneel.
GREENE: You would kneel? If you were out there?
LANDRY: Mmm hmm.
GREENE: In just a few weeks, India is going to be coming off the sidelines.
She's going to vote for the very first time.
LANDRY: I remember being younger and like "I wish I could vote."
And now I'm able to. It matters most now, probably more than ever.

Easy Eggless Vanilla Cake | Vanilla Cake for Kids | The Perfect Whisk Cake Tutorials - Duration: 4:42.
Welcome to my channel and in the second video
we will see how to make a simple eggless vanilla cake
In case you have missed the first video in which I have shown how to make a basic chocolate cake
I have given the link in the description box for you to check out
The link to the recipe is in the description box below where I have given the ingredients required for this cake
And it's possible alternatives or substitute in case you don't have any ingredient
Before we start making this cake
make sure you have all the
Ingredients you need on your table as it is a much easy task to mix and make the cake batter then
We start with measuring the dry ingredients scoop the flour using the knife and moving it back and forth to drop off the excess
We are using both baking powder and baking soda in this recipe
Using the knife method gives a precise measurement of all dry ingredients
Always use double action baking powder in making cakes as it will make your cakes rise well
It is called double action because it works twice once when it comes in contact with the wet ingredients and
second when it comes in contact with the oven heat
So your baking powder actually starts working when you mix it with the wet ingredients
Sift the powdered sugar and crush the lumps with the help of a spoon
Use the spatula to bring all the ingredients together
Whisking the dry ingredients here is a very important step as it mixes together the baking soda and baking powder with the flour and results
in a better textured cake
So make sure you don't skip this step
Now moving on ahead with the wet ingredients. We mix together oil, vinegar and vanilla essence. I
can't help but stress on the importance of using a measuring scale here
And if you are a beginner Baker, this will surely help you bake perfect cakes, of course if the recipe is right
Again whisk the wet ingredients together so that they are mixed properly before adding them to the dry ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients gradually
Remember to not add everything at once as it will lump together and create a mess
Please give the video a big thumbs up if you liked it
Scrap off the leftover wet ingredients from the bowl using a spatula
Now we will fold the batter and for this we require a spatula and not a whisk
Folding is nothing but the process of mixing the batter in circular and vertical motions
If you find any lumps in the batter just use your spatula to break them, but don't overdo it
Line a five inch cake tin using either a parchment paper or the flour and oil method
Use the spatula to take off every last bit of cake batter from the bowl into your cake tin
Preheat the oven for 12 minutes at 160 degree Celsius and then bake the cake for
50 minutes at the same temperature
Yes, the cake has come out of the oven and I just love the flat top that it has come out with
Wait for at least half an hour to 40 minutes till the cake is cooled, so that it doesn't break when we demould it
Once you are done with running a knife down the sides of the cake
Invert it over a plate and give a light tap. So the cake comes out from the tin on its own
This is a very moist and melt in the mouth cake, which will win everybody's hearts
So this was it about this beautiful vanilla cake
