Really? Really, bruh?

We've had a two term African American president. We've had, for 8 straight years, African Americans as attorney general. In cities like Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago and many more you've had the same party in power for decades. Let's stop choosing to only look at one side of this coin and let's start examining where else some blame for the situation could/should fall. Elected officials - often elected on the PROMISE of change - have done little to change the situation, rather they've maintained the situation.

I think the point is that nothing has changed when it comes to a black man protesting or challenging the status quo. For months we've heard cries about the BLM protesters not being civil or peaceful. Many people asked why they couldn't protest peacefully, despite the fact that most of them did. Now Kaepernick is protesting about as peacefully as one can by sitting/kneeling, and he's being met with the same criticism. And it's not much different than the criticism MLK was met with with his peaceful protests.
