| BUMPED2002 09/10/18 7:43:34 AM #97: | The Kaepernick issue is one that makes Whites think that African-American players who kneel during NFL games are being disrespectful to the Flag, the Anthem, the Military and the Country and that's not at all what it's about. It's about bringing attention to the senseless and countless shootings involving mostly White police officers and Black men who are almost always deemed "criminals" by Whites who support the actions of the cops. Understand this Trump's tweets aren't about sports. It's about him reminding Black folks of their 2nd class status in America and knowing their place. A few things should be obvious at this point. This is not about Donald Trump, though it is amazing (and somewhat amusing) that people are still debating whether or not he is a racist. Its crystal clear that he is. Trump has no dog whistles in his armory only blaring, mega-powered bullhorns. Yet many Americans voted for him, support him and will continue to do so. The only question is what motivates them? Maybe thats a dumb and already answered question, too. This isnt really about football either. It never has been. Colin Kaepernicks exile from the NFL is not because he is a bad quarterback. NFL protests are not about the flag, anthem or the military. This is all about America and black folks knowing their place. Serve, entertain, and shut up or GET OUT (pun intended)! ...
