You aren't a good listener.

They aren't crying about their status.

They are trying to keep awareness of abuses to others less fortunate.

Its amazing how many posters dont know or dont care. Multi millionaire athletes can protest while employed, but the avg working american does not have the same rights and may get fired( very likely in many companies) for doing the same thing. The left only cares about the rights of some(esp the rich ones) not all. Hypocrites as usual.

As for your "saying", both of your statements are complete garbage. No cops target black people. And those on the right don't hate non-whites.

Speaking of values, one of the reasons that the NFL is losing fans is their tolerance of domestic violence. Tolerating that for the sake of a game is a change in value that is disgusting.
That's just a ridiculous assumption. I wouldn't even make the assumption a black officer hasn't targeted someone based on race.


I'm starting to think certain demographics in this country don't know about this issue, because they weren't being harrassed/targeted. Simply.

Why is the National Anthem played at a sports event between two American teams in the first instance?

I find it amusing that those decrying peaceful protest because it purportedly disrespects the flag have no problem with the NFL (with the consent and assistance of the armed forces) commoditizing the flag to drum up business for the league. What's more disrespectful, exercising the liberty the flag symbolizes by quietly protesting a social issue in front of it or using the flag as a means to prey on people's patriotic proclivities to induce them to empty their pockets in support of the NFL and its corporate sponsors?

It definitely is starting to seem that way. And I was very naive coming into this. Even supported this movement for all races, not just my own. But the more they talk, the more I see a double standard in this country when it comes to policing. And how dismissive some are of blatant govt abuses. Which is what I thought being "patriotic" was all about.
