OT Don't Be Dissin' The American Flag

Sooooooo...these patriots cover their hearts and “respect” the flag while police murder people. Are they doing anything with that? Or is this simply an act they’ll carry out until players figure out how to correct this issue?

 

The players are the ones protesting.

 

What about this sort of thing? Do you see a problem with that or is that not what you are looking for in your athletes?

so you don’t care, got it

 

Turning the issue into a flag/military issue is what racists do. That doesn't mean that everyone who twists the issue in this way is racist, they just don't understand that it is only used in this manner to marginalize and diminish black people and their cause.

I see Drew Brees has issued an apology. I'll bet he still isn't woke, as they say. It takes a true prospective shift for that to happen. But maybe he is on his way.

The flag is a symbol of a country. If the country doesn't stand for the morals they claim to have, the flag means nothing.

 

I do care. But, if someone is gonna take the time/effort to protest, wouldn't it be great if they also took the time/effort to help find solutions? What does that have to do with somebody simply placing their hand over their heart and honoring, both, our country and those who have sacrificed to help make us the greatest nation on earth?

 

Love it.

 

Uh.....Black people are tired of waiting for “solutions”. It hasn’t worked in any way shape or form to this point. Without these protests, they would continue to wait until they are dead. Wake up man!! “Inside the box“ thinking is what has led us to this point!

 

So, protesting is the answer. Way to take me back to the 60's, "man".

 

Do you even remember the ‘60’s??? Obviously not. Go back to sleep.

 

He's complicit. Notice the lack of response even after being called out in my post with that ridiculous Laura Ingraham video comparing her response to Brees vs LeBron.

 

I remember enough about it. Hey, how 'bout we go back to the glory days of Obama?

Yeah right. all thanks to an obstructionist, mostly (If not all) white Republican congress (for 6 out of 8 years) Who made it clear every day of the Obama administration that they would not allow a black man to govern with their consent. All those clowns did was pour gas on an already smoldering fire. And it’s a huge reason we are at this point today. But keep tossing out the red herrings. I love me some fish........

 

Meanwhile, you can keep on thinking protests - in and of themselves - are the answer. Good luck with that.

 

I did respond back to HCP. Even asked him questions following that. Laura who??

 

I never said they were the “answer”. I think I made it pretty clear (To those who choose to listen) that they ARE a part of the solution. Any other words you want to put in my mouth?

 

Your point guard of your favorite team thinks they are.

 

And nothing else? Simply protests....in and of themselves? Personally, I think there needs to be more of a comprehensive effort. Home and schools is a good start.
