Bud, even a lot of black people that are in the NFL think Kap is wrong in his choice. Do you think that any black people believed MLK's opposition to Jim Crow was off?

MANY black people did not agree with MLK's integration (anti Jim Crow) theme nor his anti violence rhetoric. Malcolm X was very vocal for segregation and directly opposed MLK's stance. The Black Panthers did not agree with his non violence, turn the other cheek. Many black Catholics disagreed with his criticism of the papacy.

Black people are not one and the same. Many agree with CK's silent protest and many do not.

Clearly you are set in your opinion and would rather indulge yourself than actually look around you. This thread is in many ways the point. There are people who agree with you on the substance of CK's protest and those who disagree with you. But there are a large number of people who agree with much of the substance, myself included, who are turned off by the tactics. CK and many members of BLM commitment to divisive tactics will not help their cause because the impression of being anti-american is a wedge, and a powerful one. There is a reason why groups, including the US government, used MLK's ties to communists to undermine him. It was in fact, one of the most effective tools they ever used despite the fact that MLK himself was never a communist. They recognized that he was a sympathetic figure and used "anit-american" as a weapon. CK and many like him save anyone the trouble by stating that they don't support their country.
