Yes, there are problems, rogue or poorly trained cops shooting when they should not, problem. Blacks killing blacks at a rate that far exceeds anything the cops do, problem. Drug use in the inner city, problem.The difference that the Confederates had the balls to secede and fight for their beliefs. The last time I checked those 'kneelers' are still reaping the benefits of a system and culture they refuse to respect.
This is bullshit. You're looking for reasons to be offended by one thing, and not by another.
The Confederates had the balls to fight, the NFL players risk losing their jobs over this.
The kneelers killed nobody, the Confederates killed 140,000 US TROOPS.
And apparently, the kneelers are disrespecting the US military and the Confederate flag wavers AREN'T.
Can you explain this?
The real difference is that the confederates, at least the leaders, knew what they were fighting for, the kneelers, not so much.
The "protest" isn't about social injustice it is about Trump. The protestors are taking the chance of destroying the NFL over Trump. How f..king stupid can they be? Rhetorical question.
Maybe so.
The kneelers know there is a problem, they're not really sure what it is, but they know it's there. But then again most confederate soldiers didn't really know why they were fighting. So....
Potentially there are leaders of this kind of movement that know what they want to get out of this. Who knows?
If the protest is about Trump, then why did it start under Obama? Yes, Trump has managed to make the protests more widespread. But then again his attitude towards certain groups of people, and as representative of the government, I'd say the protests are in part at him. But because he's making the problems worse, not better.
But this "protest" for the most part is not about any of that. There was little or no protest until Trump tried to tell them what the owners should do and the rich millionaires didn't like it. The whole protest has morphed into being about Trump.
Trump made it about Trump. It's the only reason he's still interested.
