Colin Kaepernick protests the Anthem

[Expat]

He insulted >70% of Americans for a facile belief. I'd back off on the hero worship.

But those police pigs on his socks were really cool. Then the Castro shirt really showed what a great mind Kap has. Most of you folks simply can’t appreciate him because... well, I won’t go all insulting here...

I just saw on the news that a cup cake shop put a sign in the window that said, "Flag loving Americans welcome."

Posts on their facebook page accused them of being racist.

How long until all who stand for the national anthem are labeled racist?

Everything in daily existence is being put in a spotlight and given a political slant. Bakery's seem to be at the leading edge.

How? Are 70% of Americans that soft?

Good question. Pretty close to that number.

They think the way he's protesting is disrespecting the Nation. C'mon. It's a matter of principle. No one is diving for safe spaces. They just think he's an ungrateful douche.

Heh. Reporter asks Mattis about the NFL.

Mattis: "I'm the Secretary of Defense. We defend the nation."

What you don't understand, is that he, and people that support him don't care what other people think. If the Civil Rights Movement cared what people thought, it would've never made progress.

I can't believe you're comparing the civil rights movement to what this impetuous PRIVILEGED communist did. What great American institution, which had nothing to do with race, did MLK **** on?

I mean what the point? You burn and loot.... you're a thug. You peacefully protest.... you're thug. Hell, if you're gonna be called that anyways why not at least get a new TV, some Jordans, and burn some #$@$ down?
lol

Likewise, you march in the street with a shaved head and a swasticka flag, your a racist nazi. You think ANTIFA and BLM have a violent undertow and kneeling during the National Anthem is disrespectful, your a racist nazi.

What is the point?

Wow. I can't even understand how you can compare this bull**** to The Civil Rights Movement.

I read that 5 times, and I'm still at "huh?"

I'm clear why you don't understand.

He's saying, he shares your pain.

Because it's your side.

Aww is this where you imply I'm racist and try to bate me?

Nah, that's all you. I'm not helping.

Oops bait....oh and I know better.

Way I see it these NFL players now have all the tools to make a difference in the social problems plaguing our county.

They've got the public attention and are in the mass media spotlight.

They have the funds, probably enough cash to equal the GDP of a good size country.

If all they can do is kneel at football game, they are not trying to bring attention to or solve social issues but provoke an even deeper divide and need to go away. This is not helping.

I'm clear why you don't understand.
