If you have a real, close friend, they will tell you the truth even if you don't want to hear it, because they love you. Protesting respectfully during the anthem is the same kind of thing--if you love your country, you are honest when something is wrong. You say that and don't worry about whether you'll be liked for it. And you don't say it in a mean way. The players aren't turning their backs or spitting on the ground during the anthem. They're taking the knee to call attention to our nation's potential, and how we can live up to that.

If you're too ****ing stupid to answer a simple question, just admit it.

Again, and I'll type extra slow, so you can read it extra slow, because you obviously are extra slow, HOW... IS... SONOFABITCH... RACIST?

what you're witnessing is a prime example of how white America will change the narrative versus deal with the issue, because for them to deal with this issue all of White America will have to change.

whats the 3rd verse of the anthem about?

Nah....

What we're witnessing is a troll who can't handle being confronted. It's good comedy for the onlookers.

It's amazing how people get mad about a anthem that was written by a slave owner. How can expect for people of color to respect a flag & anthem when there ancestors fought in wars in the honor of that flag & anthem & came back to America to be treat like crap. There is no honor to fight for something that doesn't even honor black soldiers who help fight those war. America would rather display statues of confederate soldiers that lost a war before having statues of the red tail pilots who have never lost a bomber against our war with Germany. If it's the land of the free then it shouldn't have been slavery & if it's home of the brave then be brave enough to stand up against racism & police brutality. That's what the protest is about

What's amazing is your pathetic attempts to dodge Frazod's question. It's as if you're literally taking that bullshit from a manual and trying to post it as your own, when you don't have the slightest clue about what you're discussing.

If fellow citizens say they are being victimized, abused, & discriminated against we are obligated to investigate. Not to discourage their voice, attempt to suppress them, and discount their views. The protest has already succeeded, due to the fact we have started a dialogue around something corporate media refused to acknowledge. The protest is about POLICE abuse...not the flag.

I'm sure you're familiar with conduct unbecoming considering how your military career ended.

CK is a puss-filled dick hole, and he's wrong! He's a shitty person and a terrible QB too.

Again you try a pathetic dodge. Let's see if you'll answer this question.

When Police Chief Brody said "Smile you son of a bitch!" as he fired his weapon, he was speaking to which of the following:

1. an oppressed black man
2. an oppressed black woman
3. a shark

Francis Scott Key author of the national anthem was a slave owner and referred to African Americans as an inferior people. And he displays his racism in the little talked about 3rd stanza of the "national anthem" where he says "No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave," So you expect millions of African American to stand for a song that celebrates the killing of their ancestors? That's like asking Jewish people to stand for a poem written by Hitler himself. If you truly think this is about disrespecting the flag then you've made it about YOU and missed the whole point.

That'll leave a mark, especially after the U.S. just shit the bed, and is out of the World Cup.

It is not healthy for free minded Blacks to waste time trying to convince ignorant white people that racism is an issue. The American Fallacy, the great white lie about a concept called democracy and fairness. If you are Black in this country, you are aware that democracy is nothing but disguised hypocracy. But, we waste our time taking part in these sanitized, controlled, slanted, corporate controlled conversations with people who live a fairy tale existence, waste of time.
