No. Harambe was killed because a child fell into his enclosure. That child was black. Racists cake out in droves practically arguing that the ape's life was worth more than the child's.

The tweet is acknowledgment of that. The 'patriotic' moniker only makes sense for someone who believes black people are the enemy.
