This army vet is with the protestors and their right to protest for redress of grievances by taking a knee...That was a peaceful protest against police brutality. No violence, no rioting, no looting. Yet what did we get from that?
It was like we had advocated a violent overthrow of the government. trump ran his mouth off opposing an unarmed peaceful protest while we have seen him support and advocate for armed white supremacists demanding their liberation. And after trump ran his mouth, the racists, sellouts and uncle toms all sang in unison about something that was not being done in order to disparage those of us who were simply using our first amendment rights.
We were wrong to peacefully protest. We are wrong to be angry when we see a senseless murder of a black man by police. The song, "Take a knee my ass" made a nobody rich. So what are we supposed to do? Just shut up and take it? Have we returned to slavery or jim crow where blacks had no rights a white person was bound to respect? And just how long will black uncle toms keep enabling whites to deny us of full constututional protection?
To the sellouts let me tell you a truth you seem to have forgotten: just because your black asses have made some money doesn't mean racism doesn't exist. And you ain't the only sucessful black business people on earth. So it's time for you to stop enabling white racism.
These riots are happening because no matter how peaceful we try to bring attention to the problem, no one listens. Instead we are called names and people scurry to show examples of how it happens to whites too so it can't be racism.
So let me use what a white man said long ago in warning white people about not listening. And every time a white racist wants to try quoting Dr. King:

‘Do you understand NOW?’: Reoccurring deadly police brutality shows why Colin Kaepernick took a knee
He isn’t trending right now, but he should be. Still, it didn’t take long for savvy social media mavens to make the connection between banished NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who was…www.nydailynews.com
Colin Kaepernick's fans took a knee to mimic him and to give the Middle Class and veterans "the finger".
The schtick made Kaep a bundle for a while, until people got bored of it. Kaepernick as a heel made money. But once the people no longer cared about him, he was gone. This is where he made his mistake, he should have come up with a new gimmick.
BTW, those who took a knee with Kaep achieved a lot- cheesed off veterans .
