NFL QB National Anthem Protest

The Dark King said:
I truly wish people who are outraged about things like flag burning and not standing for the anthem would show as much passion for how other citizens are being treated. How amazing would that be.

Agreed! people are definitely selective about which people and actions/situations in which they'll show outrage.
 
The Dark King said:
Because anyone who actually cares would focus on what he's saying not throw a hissy for over the "respect" of the flag. All we hear from white people is hey guys why can't y'all peacefully protest like MLK. Then one of us does and all we hear is NOT LIKE THAT.
Just shows no one really cares how we protest they'd just rather we didn't. Basically shut up black people.

Yup! I've had people bring up MLK too. The last time I reminded them that during the time when MLK was speaking out/protesting... He too was seen as a troublemaker and so on, by society (including law enforcement and local governments).

We have had a plethora of threads that are anti woman. A woman is knocked out on an elevator and dare speak up for her? well you're just oppressing the BM. You want to talk deflection? "Well, why don't white NFL men get coverage when they beat their wife??" (they do)
So, the victim (woman) just gets pushed aside (again) so BM can become the victim because the Media singled a BM who punched his woman out cold and dragged her like a rag doll.

Or the epic thread that supported the dead punching of women in the face if she hits him..regardless if a man is stronger and pounds her like MMA in response.

Or the thread that women are not oppressed because no one sits at that throne but Black men.

Or the threads that ALWAYS question the rape victim..she's blamed, or called a whore, liar, gold-digger, etc
.
Or the thread where gifs of WW in dog cages and dog chains getting viciously analed through the cage ..and when women here objected, were told to stfu, its just sex. Really?

Or the thread that only old, haggard-looking fat, has-been white women choose black men because no WM wants them. And yes, black men wrote that thread.
Do you see any thread by us calling out ridiculous motives on why BM are with WW?

These are just on the top of my head..more will come to me.

Normally, when black people disagree with white people, on issues pertaining to the plight of black people and the method we use, it is seen as anti-white.

But, that is only certain types of people that look at things that way. I know and have worked with plenty of white people who don't act like that.

Yup spot on.Apparently criticizing the system is anti white and blaming Whitey. How do we talk about the problems in this country without talking about the systematic problems?

Fixed.

And l never argued that, @underlined. You're confusing me with someone else. I am calling Colin out on his disrespect for the very flag that affords him the Right to free speech. He's a moron for missing that whole point.
Now l have argued about the scurrilous disrespectful mocking of a disabled Vet by his fellow veterans and active Military on here. That's fucking disgraceful.

Again for the gazzilionth time, l have no issue with his BLM stance. I SAID, he had sooo many avenues in which to bring attention to it...leave the flag and the people who love it and fought for it and who fight for his Constitutional Right to speak, out of it.
And by people l mean ANYONE.

You will never convince me to hate this flag or Country...so damn grateful for it. This whole planet would be disastrous without it and while you think it's the worst and you live a daily life of horrible oppression and most everyone is racist and out to get you, as an oppressed woman myself who has travelled to every continent on the planet except Antarctica, l still and do RESPECT the flag and Constitution. That, l will never blur.

I get your point, and I'm sure many others do as well. In many respects and a various times, I found myself thinking I'm happy to American. However, I've also found myself thinking... "These folks have a wonderful life, I'm happy for them and wished for the same" on my visits to Canada. Kaepernick wasn't born with this feeling, but somehow he has it now, and instead of jumping on him... Those who are critical should truly be asking themselves why does this feeling exist, especially for someone in Kaepernick's position.

I know many get tired of hearing it, but with all of the advantages in the USA... It's often difficult and frustrating to live in this skin, and it doesn't have to be this way. Kaepernick wasn't born with this feeling, but my guess is... He's simply seen and heard enough over the years that has led him to this feeling. The only thing I say he shouldn't have done was his reply to the double-amputee vet who called him out. That said... He clearly feels like the USA (as a whole) doesn't respect/value him or anyone who looks like him. It's easy to get to this point or have those thoughts when you go through life, do everything positive, and you're still treated like second class citizen. Many understand that it's not everyone, but the feeling is understood.
 
And people mad at an athelete

Well, you have to make sure never to use the R word. Silence is the best way to handle things. As a black person who endures oppression, it is important to be silent about it to make sure everyone feels comfortable.

I don't understand people that act as if those two are equals, they are not. Anyway my vote counts this is Florida Ill do my part trying to keep the dummy out of office. Hilary is not a good person but she does have a head on her shoulders and that's what we need.

You have soo much pride in the flag yet you are not voting....ok

They look for easy targets. If that black guy was the only not standing then this picture would of made headlines to incite outrage at and racist would of took their shot!

Just like the other athletes who also didn't put their hands over their heart

Since those wasn't nationally televised especially in primetime and she was the only one on her team not to do it. Racist people THOUGHT they saw an opening.

She keeps voting for wars and is directly responsible for the Syrian carnage occurring.
My Bernie vote was cheated out by HillBilly. I still could vote Green Party. Jill Stein is the truth but l doubt she will win.
