Childish Gambino "This is America" Music Video---

Well, you were pretty wrong already after that first sentence. Kaep's message has been very clear. People chose to get outraged over the flag instead. Here, anyway, there's a pretty high rate of correlation between the people who deny the possibility of racism at each and every turn and the people who focused on criticizing Kaep for the method of his protest.

You make some fair points, but as some one who folllowed the situation from a distance I have no idea what his message was. I’m being serious. Go google it, and 20 different answers come up. That was the point of my post. Same goes with Ferguson and other race situations. I guarantee you the information I read and see on a daily basis is far different from you. It’s a problem, and that is why people should communicate and the like.

I’m always open to listen, but most of the time I just shake my head bc im a pragmatist. Most issues can be fixed, but no one wants to have the hard conversations. Victim and entitlement mentalities are real things, and have become very detrimental to our society.


The point of my rant is me and you obviously differ in political ideology, but in the grand scheme of things are not far at all from each other on the political spectrum (edit). Compromise is absolutely a possibility. The media and congress polarize so no one pays attention to the fact that Memebers of a congress on average increase their net worth by 113% ever single year. Bottom line is we all suffer (not reach full potential) while the elite (both parties politicians and their friends/family) continue to get rich. Tell me how I am wrong?
 
What method of protest would you recommend? As Q mentioned, black people marching is criticized; black people speaking up is criticized; black people kneeling quietly is criticized.
I don’t care how they protest. They can decide that for themselves. If they keep kneeling for the national anthem then they’re going to get criticized.
 
Do you guys think that it is only because of his protest that he doesn't have a job in the NFL?

Yes. Why is Sam Bradford getting a $20 million contract? Kaepernick's last year would have been better than a lot of starting NFL QBs this past year. It would have put him at 18th in QBR. It would have put him at 16th in Passer Rating.
 
How has your life been since Jan 20th, 2017? Better? Worse? Are there more racists roaming the streets because they got a "boost" from having the klan leader in the White House?
Racists have been emboldened and are making a bid toward normalization since President Trump has been in office.

Additional challenges in my life on a personal level are due more to the NCGA.

But yes, President Trump's inauguration has led to tremendous hardship in my immediate circles, particularly regarding uncertainty around DACA, the disregard for families in favor of unrestrained deportations, and his hostility around sexual orientation and gender identity in the military.

On the balance, then, that's an absolute yes, life has gotten significantly worse with President Trump in office.
 
Why does Michael Bennett have a job?

Mike Bennett is hated but he was safeguarded on a team that does a better job with players speaking their mind. Kaepernick also wasn't attacked by Trump and his idiotic base. He also started the kneeling. Like I said when you produce better than 50% of the QBs and struggle to find a job, something is wrong. Michael Bennett was a Pro Bowler last year as well, Kaepernick wasn't. The NFL is all about giving people that are really good another chance.....see Dallas Cowboy fans and the woman beater they were OK with having on their team. When NFL fans (RACIST POS) think Bradford getting a $20 million contract for only playing 2 out of 5 seasons is OK, you got something wrong.

Did you mean to post this under your @Quavarius account? Why are you answering questions asked to him? Oh, and everything you said is bullshit lies.

Criticized by you? That would indicate you care plenty for how they protest when it comes to criticizing them. What you don't care about is suggesting an alternative, because the number one thing you really don't care about is their cause.

Why do I have to be okay with Bradford being paid to understand that Kaepernick's protest is not the only reason why he doesn't have a job?

Public board and how dare you. I've had people around me torn away from their families by ICE. I have gay friends in the military who have major concerns about the kneejerk, impulsive decisions our President makes pandering to evangelicals.

And I work in public ed. In NC. The uncertainty surrounding DACA and less funding for schools is something that affects me every day of my life.

I can't believe you're this disrespectful over a genuine, personal answer.

It's because you are sticking up for the NFL blacklisting Kaepernick and you are OK with NFL owners to sign horrible QBs.

Lol at racist being emboldened. Half the stuff has been proven fake. Literally an entire website dedicated to the faux outrage.

Can’t speak of NCGA. What is this out of curiosity, and would you care to explain how it effects you? Generally interested.

Trump offered DACA security, and the Dems rejected it. Shows you what they really care about IMO. Did you read my post earlier on all this being a distraction while the politicians get rich.

People breaking the law should be held accountable. Illegal immigrantion is an issue, and cost tax payers a great deal of money. I see it with my job on a daily basis.

Trump is the first candidate in history to have a platform for gay rights in the primary IIRC. Transgenders is a different matter entirely, and while I know little on the subject IIRC it was considered a mental disorder known as gender dysphoria up until what 3-4 years ago?

It’s not rocket science. People around the country don’t like the kneeling during the national anthem. They stopped watching and ratings went down. Is it so hard to understand that owners don’t want a negative reaction from the fans for signing Kaepernick? No, no it’s not. It’s not because of racism. It’s because people feel as though it’s disrespectful of the flag. It doesn’t matter what Kaepernick and others try and tell them it’s for, people are free to believe what they want and the overwhelming majority of fans believe it’s disrespectful.

Tha’s weird. My life has gotten significantly better under Trump. Looking forward to the next six plus years! Winning feels good man. #MAGA

Tell your friends torn away by ICE to come into our country legally and they won’t have that problem. Didn’t realize you hang out with criminals, Datt.

No you don’t just like blacks people sticking up for a cause. Like the keep the inmates in line phrase. Nobody gave two craps a one ago when no player stood for the National Anthem. People are idiots that try to attach what Kaepernick did to a National Anthem...no SAF.

No those people who don’t realize or want to know why he did it...are stupid as F. They have a little bit of racism in them. They want to say police do no wrongs and it was the black kids fault for having a cell phone or that black kids are targeted for drugs more than white kids or that the judicial system puts down harsher sentences for black people. It is either ignorance to the very large degree or racism....whether it be conscious or subconscious. Be afraid of those black kids with hoodies....

I have facts. What you have is a belief that you don’t have a racist bone in your bone.....you’re wrong if you are OK with a product of Bradford and the other crappy QBs out there getting a second chance. Shoot, your base was complaining about Tebow being blacklisted and that sucky a$$ QB got how many extra chances. As long as you are really good and keep in line like the good black player......you get your second chance....but if you physically assault a chick...that’s fine. You go to court for murder...that’s fine. You have a dog ring... that’s fine....you speak up for black rights....know your place.

NC General Assembly. Our state legislature. They keep cutting taxes for the wealthy and using public money to fund more and more charter schools that don't have to meet federal law about serving everyone. I work in public ed.

Trump offered DACA security, and the Dems rejected it.
He chose to end President Obama's EO on DACA w/ no plan or regard for the uncertainty that threw thousands into. Dems rejected unacceptable strings attached to DACA.

People breaking the law should be held accountable. Illegal immigrantion is an issue, and cost tax payers a great deal of money. I see it with my job on a daily basis.
And I see the benefits every day. People whose undocumented status was condoned and even encouraged for decades have established lives here and contributed to society. President Trump has allowed families to be destroyed for the sake of looking tough for his base. You're hiding immorality and inhumane treatment of others behind the guise of law.

It could have been considered a mental disorder yesterday. It isn't today.

Lol. You really don’t. You’re sitting here generalizing how everyone who opposes the kneeling feels and that they’re all racist. It’s idiotic and lacks any real facts.

SCOTUS has ruled consistently that public education, among other things, is available to people regardless of immigration status. That's where I work and that's where my heart is.

I respect that some people feel their lives have improved. President Trump is my President, too, and he isn't helping me or people I love.

You're gloating about people's actual lives being negatively impacted. I see @AFSTALLION13 has shown up to like your post, too. Where is Christ's love in any of that?

Oh, and Kaep not being signed has more to do with declining viewers and season ticket holders than his actual play on the field which was mediocre at best.

Not even sure what I'm reading. Try to be at least a tad bit coherent, please.

Our base doesn't care about Tebow not being in the NFL because he sucked. Our base wonders why so many people ridicule Tebow as a person when he has been a model citizen throughout his career.

Should've invested more. Sucks to suck.

He had multiple extra chances to fail and he was worse than Kaepernick. Kaepernick is a wonderful person who donates a ton of money to kids all over the world.
 

I meant me here but his praying offended me so much because I am an atheist....so much....rolls eyes. Tebow got multiple chances to prove he was an NFL QB and was worse than Tebow....even with all that hate.....white people get a second chance where if that black player steps out of line and struggles.....he just isn’t worth it....again Kaepernick has done more for people in need than most NFL players but the dumb base can’t get over him taking a knee to protest black rights....man next time someone prays in the end zone....I don’t know how offended I would be.....people offended by Kaepernick are so stupid and so racist.
