Meh I don't care. If they want to protest its their right as an American. The fact that most people don't understand what the protest is even about and that the athletes have done a poor job conveying the reasoning behind the protest is a concern to its effectiveness. I'd rather they not do it durning the national anthem but whatever.

This is straight bulls#**. What else are they supposed to do. everytime there is a microphone in front of an athlete they talk about racial inequality and racial injustice. are they supposed to go door-to-door for white people to hear the message.

And that's all they're good for is talking. Considering the amount of people who pretend to care about "racial inequality" by talking about it, you'd think they'd actually act instead of talk. They talk and yet, they aren't giving away their millions to lift blacks out of poverty. They aren't moving to black neighborhoods. They aren't working to physically improve these black communities... but taking a knee will magically lift these poor oppressed people out of poverty! It's as silly as sending "thoughts and prayers" to people who need food, shelter, etc.

Never fricking mind the fact that black communities have been controlled by Democrats for decades. Never fricking mind we just endured eight years of a black, left wing president who left office leaving blacks worse off than they've ever been while the rich are richer than they've ever been before after endless promises of "hope and change". Never fricking mind longstanding blue cities and states are so fricking expensive due to their costly left wing policies it's virtually impossible for anyone who isn't rich to survive.

Keep deflecting the blame of democratic failures on white Republican males... we wouldn't want your core voter base to ever figure that out. Meanwhile, who showed up to risk their lives in order to fight a flood and save the lives of others, regardless of their race/gender? It sure as hell wasn't the libtards who sat behind their computers wishing death on everyone in Texas for voting Trump. Who was responsible for the majority of the supplies gathered for the Texas flood victims? Religious organizations who are typically right wing (and who you accuse of being racist/sexist/etc.).

that might be true but there's still a huge portion of our population that only thinks of the BLM movement as cop killers and thugs, I like to call them Limbaugh listeners. Clearly they are getting the message mixed.
