As Above So Below
Has no one here actually left the right wing media bubble and learned WHY they kneel? It has nothing to do with the flag or anthem. It is to protest the police brutality that is easy to document and find on the internet. A Black woman gets stopped for a traffic violation and is beaten on camera. A Black kid is in his own front yard and shot to death.
You may claim there are better ways to protest blatant police bias against Blacks, but to claim it is a refutation of the flag and anthem is just a distraction offered by the right wing media to keep you up in arms about this. What SANE ETHICAL human being would support the police brutalizing a particular segment of the population simply based on skin color?
Is that really so difficult to understand?
I never looked at this as a political issue, left or right, and understand why this first started but this kneeling to me is piecemeal at best...The national anthem doesn't need to be played at sporting events, I'm not so much into professional sports anyway, but my view is these players have a job to do and this is one of the extras in that job, to stand...
Now back to my piecemeal comment, yes it is piecemeal, if these players are truly and sincerely concerned about alleged police brutality then why are they not doing more in their off hours of the NFL?...Spend some of those millions of dollars of their "hard earned money" and actually try to make a difference?...Kneeling is like armchair support...
There are also many many false cases of alleged police brutality, the african-american woman who recently said she was abused and raped by a police only to find out she lied when the body cam was released...Same goes for an african-american man who said he was abused and if memory serves he claimed to be ruffed up by the police but once body cam footage was released, he also lied...
There's a tic for tac mentality in many people's head which I believe has stemmed from politics, which politics needs to really stay in the political arena, the negativity on both sides of the political isle is what's really harming people these days and dividing us...Perhaps there's a hidden conspiracy agenda or element involved in promoting this extremism and divisions?...Who knows but its prevalent almost everywhere and its sad to see...
