Then perhaps you don't understand him.I don't disagree at all. I'm just saying that he already knows that not everyone is going to agree.I'm sure he knew there would be some who would make no effort to understand. That's predictable.Anyone who think Kap was disrespecting the flag had it precisely backwards.
He was DEPENDING on it.
This is what happens when you don't bother to understand the experiences and perspectives of others.
But he didn't get the discussion he wanted, or the response he wanted. His intent only matters to him, the result was a large part of the country saw it as disrespect, and anything he said to the contrary fell on deaf ears once he doubled down on it.
You only get to decide how you present your message, you don't get to decide how people recieve it.
He's more interested, I suspect, in reaching those whose minds are not snapped shut.
One little, silent, peaceful act at a time.
That's kind of hubris to assume that people who reject his view made no effort to understand it.
Again, as the messenger, it's his job to get the message not only out, but understood the way he wants it understood.
That's okay, not everyone has to.
if he really cared about the message he would have tried something else. He didn't.
What he did may work out just fine.
It sure didn't work out for his career.
