Blacks are prosecuted more because blacks are profile when it comes to traffic stops. You're trying twist the argument to fit your false narrative. And it's hilarious. The best part is that you want to use slavery and jim crow to explain your crap logic. Any other time you'd be on the get over it bandwagon. Now you're saying slavery and Jim Crow make it okay to profile blacks. Lmao.

well no, blacks are stopped more often as a percentage because blacks as a percentage are committing more infractions because statistically there is more poverty and lack of education (for historical reasons as stated before). Crime comes out of poverty and lack of education, black / white / asian, whatever. Same applies to whites in trailer parks or whatever low income area

When you have to reach so far back to compare two events that have nothing to do with each other proves how much of a lost cause this is.

black crime rates are high because they are targeted by police. If you over police white neighborhoods white crime rates will go up. Statistically, white people are more likely to have illegal stuff on them compared to blacks. But blacks are still more likely to be stopped. It's because of racial profiling. And you are literally explaining racial profiling. You're believe stereotypes about blacks so you think all of them should just be pulled over. We have a huge white people-opioid crisis going on, why aren't more whites being pulled over and searched?

Will you please stop listening to Trump and actually listen and try to understand what this is all about. Educate yourself please. Btw, the only stadiums with empty seats are loser teams. Try watching the patriots, the redskins....the steelers....the ravens. I could go on and on with teams who have loyal followers and the stadiums are packed. But how many fans are in the beer line when the anthem is played lol Hypocritical don't you think.

Quite frankly this attitude scares me. I sure am glad I am not one of those kind of fans. I am glad our money does not pictures of an ugly lady on it (Queen). I am glad women can vote and blacks do not have to use different drinking fountains. I am glad the Vietnam war did not keep dragging on and I am glad that Colin Kaepernick made this peaceful protest. It has made identifying idiots so much easier.

I grew up in a poor Hispanic community next to a mostly White community. We were not the ones with the drugs but we were policed heavily.

My house was broken into and it wasn't a Hispanic. Finally, a small section of the nearest city had black people. They were hardly in the news. Hispanics were in the news for committing crimes.

Really they are prosecuted because of traffic stops? Or is it because they act cagey and have dope and illegal weapons in plain view?

Kaepernick is also going to keep things in the spotlight, he's going to be bagging groceries forever for his antics but he won't go quietly. I think the days of viewer growth for the NFL are over, viewership will rebound a little as this issue fades but there's a big chunk that's just not going to come back
They have not been showing the anthem for decades. The broadcast begins at kickoff.
