I almost brought that portion of the national anthem up earlier but decided against it because it seemed like a rabbit hole even I didn't want to go down. Not here. Have fun with that.

Well why are they so poor? It isn't the polices fault. It's not republicans fault either.
High abortion rates, which I'm fine with abortions, high single parent house holds, less education.
In America you will only stay poor if you refuse education and accept the gov handout as a way of life instead of temporary life line.
So kap and Reid are protesting something they have no clue about or the causes. It's a stupid protest. They should be calling for safe sex, marriage, and staying in school. Something both of them know about.

Do you think Kaepernick is (or, at least when all this started) aware of the issues with the national anthem? Think he knows of verse we don't sing?
The fact that we've eliminated that verse tells you a lot. An issue was corrected.
Again, oppression is real. It isn't isolated to color. My biggest issue is that if we are going to stand up and take steps in the right direction to end oppression, let's begin by ending self oppression. Stop black on black crime. Stop abortion rates of African American children that are 5X the rate of pregnancies by other races (those unborn lives matter too...so does the life of the mother that is often abandoned by the father and left to deal with the pregnancy on her own). Stop re-electing officials who failed to deliver a semblance of the change and hope for African Americans that they promised. Stop looting and violence as a form of "protest" b/c it dilutes the argument. Stop abandoning the family and start STAYING and fighting for togetherness in the home, then the community, then the nation.
