re: Former LSU safety Eric Reid joins Kaepernick protest

1. Refused to stand up during the same anthem that MLK, the Tuskegee Airmen and many others have seen fit to stand for. It honors the ideals that our country strives (though sometimes fails) to live up to and recognizes the courage and sacrifice of the men and women (many of whom were and are black) to allow us the opportunity to live under our freedoms.

Thank you.

Where I work is very near the end of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery march - a time of oppression unlike anything known today.

There are historic markers with photos of that event on our lawn. Want to know what they show?

That flag that those NFL idiots are protesting? The people that were getting beaten and even killed for marching were carrying it.

Frick Kaepernick and anyone that joins him.
