Dolphins players take a knee

Bingo. I was in the military with this dude from Virginia. He tortured animals and was the biggest so called "patriot" I have ever seen. At the time I remember telling my sgt that we were going to see him in the news one day over some serial killings.

I would venture a guess that he considers these "fine people" to be "better" Americans than the protestors.

You're the one calling them "fine people", not I, nor any of mine.

Most of you Trumpers likely would not.....in public.



Wow. YOu said something terrible about people you don't like. And that's all the supporting argument you have.


You lose.

I've supported my argument with links to articles regarding this issue that quote exactly what has been said as well as supporting opinions from people who have put their lives on the line for this country.

All that you have done is to refer to the protestors as "anti American pieces of shit".

So YOU lost a long time ago.

That aside, nothing was said about them that was "terrible".



And I've pointed out his ACTIONS, supported by his words, that they were done because he could not stand to show respect to this nation. HIS NATION.


His words. HIs actions.

When a man says contradictory shit, look to his actions.


He kneels when standing is done to show love of country.
 
His charitable acts of kindness for his fellow Americans who are in need say otherwise.

Calling him "a piece of shit" based on an act of peaceful protest is anti American and contradicts the principals of what America is all about.


Just because he has not respect for America or Americans, does not mean that he cannot have concern for other groups of people.

What it means is that he is a charitable and giving person who helps people in need. It's called "giving back to society".


Not standing for the anthem does not mean that he is anti American. Because he is an American he has that choice.

There are plenty of bad individuals out there who salute the flag


1. He has that choice.

2. He chose to kneel, because he could not stand to show respect to the Flag and the nation it stands for. Indeed, he felt he had to make sure that no one thought, while he was just standing there, minding his owe business, ignoring the flag he does not respect,

that someone might thing that he was showing respect to the flag, so he took steps, ie kneeling to make sure that no one could mistaking think that he was showing respect to the American Flag.


That is the thought processes and actions of an anti-American, and your denial of that obvious fact is utterly absurd.

It was the thoughts and actions of an American expressing his right to peacefully protest. And if not saluting the flag was his way of protesting, he exercised his rights, which does not make him anti American.

Your refusal to recognize that is the equivalent of and the epitome of moralizing hypocrisy.



It is the thoughts and actions of BOTH an American expressing his right to peacefully protest, AND that of an Anti-American, as he felt that, in the process of that protest, he had not make sure that no one thought he might be showing respect to the American Flag and thus America.

One cannot logically exercise their lawful rights as an American and be "anti American" at the same time. That does not even make sense.

A man can understand that he has the right to free speech and still hate America, and choose to use that right to express his anti-Americanism.

I do support his RIGHT to kneel, (given the support of his employer)




I've said that hundreds of times by now.

This has nothing to do with the NFL protest, "Avery".
But since you are fixated on highlighting that black citizens have a child abuse problem, you should at least be fair and acknowledge that child abuse is not confined specifically to one race.

You are doing a great job of sabotaging your own message.

Here is a case that made national headlines that you may not be aware of that happened less than 10 miles from my own neighborhood.

And......it did not involve anyone who is Black.

Start a thread about this.

NFL: Colin Kaepernick thanks Miami Dolphins duo for kneeling during anthem

Colin Kaepernick has thanked Miami Dolphins duo Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson after they kneeled during the US national anthem on Sunday.

It comes after Nike decided to use Kaepernick as the face of a new campaign.

Kaepernick was the first NFL player to kneel during the national anthem to highlight racial injustice.



It seems to be impossible to discuss this protest in a rational way on this board.Clearly there are deep issues here that should be addressed but the reaction of the President and his attack dogs have made this impossible.

I dont know how representative the racist posters on the "race relations" forum are of America as a whole but it looks like the civil rights movement drove the racism underground and that hatred still exists.

Why cant the US leave the hatred in the past ?
Civil rights didn't drive racism underground. Racism exists because we, as a nation, put up with it. If there was nationwide condemnation of Trump and his minions trying to hijack this protest, racism might start to go away?

No they are not. Peaceful protesting has a long history in this country and when the country was founded, it was founded on a set of principals which all revolve around freedom of choice.
People like you have a right to disagree with how individuals protest, but that does not make them anti American, and labeling them as such as well as calling them 4 letter word expletives actually makes YOU look anti American.

That you pretend otherwise, is utterly moronic.

The subject matter here is not related to all of the others whose rights that you claim to support. The point is that the protestors are not anti American "pieces of shit" as you insist. And, salutong the flag and standing for the anthem is not the only way to express love of country. Your obsession over those gestures and their choice to not participate is what is truly moronic here.
