I mean, what is accomplished other than making the NFL lose money?
Is racism less?
Do more poor black youths get jobs?
What changes?
Clue.....the NFL loses money, nothing else changes
Look at the number of threads here discussing it and the constant discussion on television.
Which is the purpose. To put the issue front and center and have bad cops discussed until the culture in police departments changes and the bad cops are ousted. The kneeling is having the exact effect it was intended to. Peacefully these athletes have reached up to the national spotlight and turned it so it shines on this issue so that it can be corrected. People are dying at the hands of bad cops. Get rid of the bad cops. Most cops are good cops, get rid of the bad ones.
Wrong again, Einstein! Get rid of hatred. That is what gets people killed by other people. Blacks kill each other more than ALL cops (of any race) kill blacks...and more than whites kill blacks.
Yes, Lots of bad people kill other people for all kinds of reasons. Always have----always will. The focus right now is bad cops who kill too many blacks for no reason. We can do another group next,if you want to, but you have to wait your turn.
More black lives, lives that matter (albeit no more than that of any other race), if blacks would wake up and concentrate on stopping black on black crime and stop twisting all cop killings into murder. If that ever happens, there may be a reduction in death by cops.
I bought some caramel corn from a black troop of Cub Scouts the other day. I encouraged the young boys that sold me to stick with scouting until they fly like Eagles.
