Protesting an injustice doesn't mean you hate your country. That's really stupid.
Americans have protested all sorts of things. Look at child labor, workplace safety, Jim Crow, voting rights just for starters.
'Protesting' WHAT?
BLM? It's a Marxist-based project created by a self-professed who admitted she started it to get rich, and after she bough 4 mansions and millions in real estate - and racially splitting the nation apart and setting it ablaze - she left the dupes holding the bag and fighting to rationalize / justify their belief that they weren't / aren't really duped conned into looting, rioting, destroying, burning etc..... A Marxist movement taking a page from Hitler's Germany con in which he convinced Germans they were a 'master race' and no other lives except theirs mattered?
'Slavery'? Something that has not been around literally (if you don't count the Democrats policies of economic slavery and use of social programs to addict people to) for hundreds of years - except in places like China (that Democrats support and sell out to), something today's blacks have never experienced, whose parents have never experienced, and whose grandparents have never experienced?
'Woke' / ' Cancel Culture' where easily offended indoctrinated snowflakes attack and seek to destroy anything that offends them, allowing them to call those responsible 'racists' and 'white supremacists'? The idiots behind this and conned into supporting this ridiculous BS have torn down statues of the 1st Black slave owner, the 1st emancipated black slave, and have proven they do exactly what theyare told to do because they are too stupid to think for themselves...and the selective outrage is both alarming and hilarious. Many of the people who have given themselves the power to attack people and name them racists, who call for others to be 'canceled' are the same dumbasses (Black Caucus, Democrats, & the 1st Black President) who passed legislation to have a statue carved of MLK Jr....then paid the CCP $129 Million for a CCP stone cutter to create a WHITE Asian-looking MLK, put together by CCP slaves and shipped back to the US. Where is the outrage that the Democrats had the CCP create a WHITE MLK Jr statue?
Americans have protested all sort of things but, with rare exception, American athletes have understood the importance of where they are, what it took to get them to the Olympics (EVERYONE supporting them), and have had the class not to air their own personal prejudices and butt-hurt on the world stage by disrespecting the nation and people who got them to the Olympics.
The Olympics have always supposed to be about competition and sports, not about politics....or Democrat / snowflake butt hurt.
Again, at least she doesn't have the talent to make it onto the Podium, so we won't have to worry about it.
