Please do not confuse blind obedience with real patriotism. Standing for the flag because you're "supposed to" is LESS patriotic than standing for the ideals represented by our Constitution. Respect for our Constitution comes before respect for the flag, the anthem, the President. So know that the Constitution guarantees freedom of expression and contains the ideal that "all men are created equal". If this country is not living up to that ideal, then athletes are choosing the only platform they have available to bring attention to that fact. Black men are shot by the police twice as often in percentages than white men. That is a verifiable fact. And now you know that because the NFL has brought your attention to it. And so that was a patriotic thing to do.

Typical libjerk that has no clue as to loyalty to the country. Your stats are wrong also. Maybe if you used your head for something other than a hat tree, you would at least check the FBI stats on black and white crime and black and white homicides. You've got your head so far up there in the dark that you think that if you kiss some ethnic @ss, you will fool everyone into thinking that you are liberal and progressive instead of the real racist you are.
"Last year, according to the Washington Post’s tally, just 16 unarmed black men, out of a population of more than 20 million, were killed by the police. The year before, the number was 36. These figures are likely close to the number of black men struck by lightning in a given year, considering that happens to about 300 Americans annually and black men are 7 percent of the population. And they include cases where the shooting was justified, even if the person killed was unarmed."
Police Violence against Black Men Is Rare: Here’s What the Data Actually Say | National Review
From Snopes:
"In absolute numbers, more white people than black people are killed in police shootings"
From the Daily Wire:
" Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or "were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force," according to Mac Donald in a speech at Hillsdale College."
There's all kinds of data that proves that most of this "racist" hype is fabricated to cause division. Anyone that supports BLM is supporting a domestic terrorist group, and this kneeling cr@p is just that, supporting terrorists and Anti-American radicalism.
Most conservatives are no more racist than those on the left. You liberals cannot win by debating policies because America won't support you, so you accuse your opponents of being racists or bigots. The honest fact is that we are loyal American patriots and treat minorities better than the left does. |
