The people I've discussed Kaepernick with over here all have no objections to a national anthem protest and are kinda baffled as to why it's a big deal. Over here we don't really celebrate our national anthem. I honestly can't recite a single line from it and I'm pretty sure nobody else I know does either.It's ridiculous how people in countries where there are barely any black people see the issue and express concern, but you have clowns over here that flat out deny it.

"My choice is that I like this country, I respect our flag. And I don’t see all the atrocities going on in this country that people say are going on."
appreciate the response. its almost like the nonsense is really blinding any sort of instinct at this point but i refuse to be ignorant to the situations that are happening
just remember when people speak about "white people" or white supremacy it is not an attack on you personally
It's laughable they actually turned one of our greatest leaders against us.
White folk, y'all somethin else
I've seen so many people post "MLK is rolling in his grave."
It's like passive aggressive racism. Fits in with the same train of thought as "why aren't black people rioting and protesting in Chicago?"
I got into a back in forth with two local police who responded to my friend's posting of the involved cop's manslaughter charge. These dudes are legit patrolling the streets while simultaneously spewing complete ignorance. Scary.
Here's one of my conflicts when it comes to these instances: How much do we tell our kids? Do we try to preserve their innocence by not opening their eyes to the attoricities of this world? I have a 10 year old who I sat down initially around the Mike Brown murder and told him his best bet was comply so he can COME HOME and now with this I don't have any answers to give him in doing what's necessary to come home.This one really hurts; especially having to explain this to my children.
They see men that look just like their daddy being murdered by the very people they are taught to trust in their classrooms. They actually fear the police, in a way that I've never feared them. Something has to change. The legal murder of Black Americans in the country has to end.
Im glad i decided to say something. This seems to be very positive direction and not a lot of people may be aware of how open everyone is to it. i know i wasn't fully aware.
It's crazy, THEY want you to learn this story about MLK being peaceful and stuff, why didn't they ever teach me about Malcolm X in school?
A coworker of mine posted this picture.

I wonder if he also believes in MLK's quote about a riot being the language of the unheard.
Really just tired of the **** I hear on the job site. It pisses me off so much. All of these ************* are racist.
Someone on my feed posted something like that a while back too (I forgot which major protest this was for)
I responded with this picture

And wrote "This was the response to those peaceful protests, by the way. And by the looks of it, nothing has changed."
Got unfriended immediately
