People are not yelling..f- the police.
People are not blocking the streets.
People are not looting
People are not even marching.

People are taking a knee, while a song written by a horrible racist plays. And people on the right flip their shit.

While at the same time these people were having rallies yelling that America wasn't great.

I don't even agree with BLM's protests half the time, but they don't make me mad. Watching football players take a knee doesn't make my blood boil or cause me to do stupid things like yell out "what about black on black crime?" I just don't understand the anger on the right these days.

You support a group that does all these things though. Are you now saying the animosity towards them is justified, just not for anthem kneeling?

Because when the left/BLM express a view on racism or social issues, they think it's absolute truth and think it's racism itself than anyone (particularly a white person) would dare to disagree with them. When they say they want to start a "conversation" or "dialogue" about race/social issues, they really mean you better agree with everything they say or else you're a bigot.

Why is it so hard for liberals to understand that some people view this as a disrespectful action against a country they're proud of? There are definitely people who are supportive of Kaep's message who disagree with the particular gesture. Liberals rant day and night about "muh feelings," and yet somehow they find liberty to scoff at anybody who views this act as offensive or tasteless. Pretend this is a white person wearing a sombrero or something and maybe then you'll be able to relate better.

Not to mention that fact that the national anthem itself has nothing to do with the police. That gesture makes sense if you hate the American government in general, not if your issue is specifically with law enforcement. The country you're shitting on is the one allowing you to protest and air those opinions publicly without being arrested or killed like you would be in far too many other countries today.

Is Kaepernick black? I thought he was like half white/half Hawaiian.

Anyways I don't mind the protest even if I don't really agree that it's necessary and you're absolutely right that many people went.

"I support peaceful protest as long as there are no violent riots or people blocking traffic"

*takes a knee

"OMG THAT'S NOT HOW YOU'RE PROTEST. SOLDIERS AMERICA APPLE PIE YOU CAN'T DESTROY OUR WAY OF LIFE LIKE THIS"

Because this country gives you the right to protest, you should never use it. Good logic.

You can use it to protest many things, but why protest that entity itself that is protecting you and ensuring those rights? Especially when the issue is supposedly law enforcement?

If Kaepernick simply hates America, like many people on the left do, that's more understandable. But that's not what he's ever said.

Wouldn't he also be protesting the country that allows such law enforcement happenings to occur? I'm pretty sure he's spraying to all fields here--the police officers are the main culprits, but included in that would be their superior officers that protect them, the court systems that constantly absolve these officers from their crimes, and the people of this nation who constantly find reasons not to side with minorities.

I'm not even saying I agree with the guy, but it takes a special brand of derp to not see the big picture here.

I'm sure this makes you guys giddy to keep hearing in your echo chamber, but none of these same "old racist white men" gave a shit when the NBA players wore hoodies to bring attention the Trayvon shooting. It's almost like the action of disrespecting the country itself is what bothers people here, and you guys really need to reach defending your racism narrative.

No one is disrespecting the country by ignoring the 100,000th rendition of a song at a football game. Do you think it is disrespectful that people at home aren't standing for the anthem when it plays on TV? Or is disrespect cool if you have a couch and cheeseballs and are home in your underwear?
