funny...jews were slaves...catholics were slaves..Irish were slaves..Iranians were slaves..Chinese were slaves...it goes on and on and on since the beginning of time.. But the people of America changes the way of the "old" and improves for all ...but yet now the flag of our country is racist.. fucking joke...why did MLK march with the American flag then?

So what's the problem with protesting before or after the national anthem? But stand during to honor those that have served, currently serving, and those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice?

Those who served, are serving and who paid the ultimate price did so for Freedom. The freedom to kneel during the national anthem to protest senseless police killings and racial inequality.

And could you imagine the uproar if a white player gave the white power salute on or off the field?? He would be labeled a racist and his career would most likely be over. But it's ok for a black guy to give the black power salute?? Too funny! lol

Did this actually happen? Did one of the players give a black power salute?

yea but if i said "black people are good at basketball". i think some people would say that's a racist stereotype even though it's said in a complimentary manner. i just think there is a double standard sometimes that i'd rather avoid.

and i didn't say his "hardcore base". i said his supporters in general. most of them probably agree with him.

but give some of us "white people" some credit. there is a huge number of whites in this country that absolutely do not agree with him on this issue.

Right. Agree. It's not all white people, probably not even 50%. Same as not all muslims being terrorists. However the only people who seemed to be outraged at what these black athletes are doing at the beginning of an NFL football game seem to only be white people.

I'm sure you can find an example or two of a non-white person who is outraged, but in general the only people I see that are upset about this are white people. The same people who are outraged if black people protest in the streets, the same people who are outraged over BLM (Black Lives Matter). I kinda see a pattern here.

We disagree 100% on the subject so no reason for us to debate. You will not change my mind and I will not change yours.

Yep, do a quick Google search this is the first one that came up but I believe there were others.

But let me guess, you'll come back with why he was justified to do this.

yea thats a different issues all together. if a white guy did that it would absolutely be seen as racism. definitely a double standard. fuck that guy.

But one of us is right and one of us is wrong in this case. This isn't an opinion. This is the US Constitution we are talking about. You either believe in that or you don't. It's not an opinion or a 'disagreement'.

I wasn't aware of this. This is not OK and I did a bit of research and this guy is getting roasted in the media. Appears to be consensus that he should be kicked out of the NFL. Even Stephen A Smith went after this guy.

However this is totally different from kneeling at the beginning of a football game as a peaceful protest which white players and white owners are doing too. Two different things.

So football anyone?

[Keiser]

BTW Russian Trolls are tweeting and posting to facebook #TakeaKnee trying to continue to divide the USA. We all need to move on from this shit and unite against Russia.

Look at this shit:
