Slavery existed in this world long before the United States was founded and continues today in other third world countries. It doesn't matter to the black community they only care about what happens to them. It's a typical me first and that's what matters narcissistic attitude that the OP said himself they don't care what white's or anyone else thinks of them anymore.
agree...and its fed by the left and their white guilt in this country.
People like athletes more than politicians. This is not going to help the orangutan's approval rating.
you think Kap is famous? ok, put him on the Democrat ticket in 2020.
people don't like over-paid millionaires athletes that disrespect our flag and National Anthem in public that bashes our country wearing a Fidel Castro t-shirt praising the dictator and the communist system and calls all cops pigs in general......and sucks at QB...yeah that is not going to go well with the majority of Americans, maybe that's your type role models, good luck with that.!
"When people like yourselves turn on television and you see those people taking the knee when they are playing our great national anthem – the only thing you could do better is if you see it, even if it's one player, leave the stadium," Trump said. "I guarantee things will stop."
I completely agree with Trump. If I were the 49ers owner, Kapernick would have have been cut from the team and out on the street before halftime on the first day of his antics!
So is a confederate flag, or a nazi flag for that matter.
It's just a symbol nothing more nothing less, it's meaning is given to it by the people waving it, and symbols mean different things to different people
Of people who identified themselves as part of the NFL fan base:
83 percent were white,
64 percent were male,
51 percent were 45 years or older,
68 percent made more than $60,000 a year, and,
registered Republicans were 21 percent more likely to be NFL fans than registered Democrats.
In other words, we're talking about a largely white, largely male, older and reasonably affluent fan base that skews Republican. That sounds a lot like people who voted for Trump in significant numbers.
If players want to engage in political antics with their fans, that decision probably ain't gonna be good for players' multi-million dollar paychecks.
And if they really are fans, they won't bat an eye.
I'm white, I'm male, I make well over $60,000 a year. And I'll be at the bar watching the Steelers take on the Bears tomorrow. Anyone who won't watch the game for some players who are expressing their First Amendment rights doesn't like football or is a Commie.

As a Chicagoan, I refuse to watch the Bears after last weeks game.
