Looks like Krapernick will be riding the bench from now on. The other QB is tearing it up.

Not pointing a finger at anyone in particular, but I was wondering if anyone really understands why Kapernick started this? The default reaction I see from "white males" I think misses the point entirely. Show over substance and all that. |

Instead of protesting a perceived injustice, maybe he should PROMOTE what he feels makes a success. Ask the inner city people in Chicago how they feel about police "giving them their space." |

when you stand, you assert that you are either equal, or superior to the one you are standing in front of.
when you kneel, you admit that you are inferior to the one you are kneeling in front of. we stand up for our rights. we stand guard over others. we stand before those we have elected to govern us. we do not kneel before our president, our senator, our representative, our governors, or any other elected official. we do kneel before God. so if you are kneeling to a flag and anthem of our country, then what are you saying? what do you believe your standing is in this country? |

I don't have the perspective of a battered woman. Do I have to BE a battered woman to understand that it's wrong, or that laws are inadequate, or that getting smacked in face hurts? If personal perspective is the only qualifier, then how do I feel sorrow for a cancer patient? Outrage for a molested child? I am neither of those so I don't buy that I can't understand the black man's plight. You know what the black man can't seem to understand? That they are their own worst enemy. Stop killing, and you won't be assumed a killer. Stop robbing and you won't be assumed a robber Stop selling drugs and you won't be assumed a drug dealer Get a freaking job and you won't be assumed lazy Get off welfare and you won't be assumed to be living off the .gov teat It doesn't require ALL, it does require most. THEY have to shift the mood and opinion. Just like muslims. Start reporting your bretheren's bullshit and you may eventually rise above suspicion. I'm so FARRRRRRRRR over the poor victim bullshit it's not even funny. |

it's a recurring trick: if you aren't X, then you cannot comment on matters related to X.
have a view on how much money the military should pull from the budget? oh, you aren't a 4 star general, well, you can't have an opinion. have a view on the value of hard work and self sufficiency? but you have a good paying job and money in the bank, so you can't understand the poor or lazy. and on it goes, each topic that is worthy of public debate is cut off from free and open debate if you don't meet some arbitrary criteria of those who are losing the debate. |

Colin certainly could of sent a letter to his newspapers editor, or went to town square and gave a speech, or took an advertisement in a newspaper, or wrote a book, or put up a web page on the subject.
ALL THESE AVENUES are afforded to him because he did indeed grow up in America. And to protest it's National Anthem is a wish of self implosion. He is showing his protest to the very thing - the one thing - that he should be prideful of; our nations anthem. It's troubling to see people offering damage control. And those that are supporting him solely because of his race, are racists. |

I look forward to, and welcome your explanation. I lived in a black neighborhood, went to a 95% black school. While I may not have the skin tone, I have a skosh more insight than many.
I'm all ears though. EDIT: I lived in Atlanta when there were still "whites only" signs so I can comprehend what racism is...and isn't. |

It's the Bill Walton (UCLA) scenario repeating itself. He let a fanatical group convince (brainwash) him into furthering "their" cause.... but at his expense. Back in the day, these groups were called "cowards", and not mercenaries. Walton overcame this indoctrination, and had a great NBA career. BTW, he is now sportscasting basketball games, and IMO does a great job at it. Oh, he still has some of those same political leanings, but knows the difference between actually helping the situation, and being fooled into helping those within the cause - by doing their dirty work for them. |

Some stats, for perspective sake. These are EEO stats, which for the sake of argument I'll throw out there as sort of a gauge. It seems that the claim of racism grossly outweighs the reality.
Race based Charges: https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics...ement/race.cfm Definition of terms for the above chart: https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics...efinitions.cfm Other charge stats: https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics...nt/charges.cfmhttps://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics...nt/charges.cfm As far the knuckleheads claiming to be about a cause is just pure horseshit. They're just overpaid divas crusading for attention for attention's sake. You want to bring awareness to something? Have a press conference, donate to a charity, be a big brother, involve yourself in the community. But thumbing your nose and flipping off the masses that you want to enlighten to a cause just gains you contempt and condemnation. But then, it was never about social justice in the first place. |
