how does everyone feel about the whole kneeling issue?

@Greenbare there is no such thing as a liberal racist. you are un American. you don't believe in freedom of speech unless it is yours.

@SW-User you troll everyone that doesn't kiss your racist ignorant behind

@Greenbare OMG!how many black serial killers can you name? the one i can think of is doing time for a white supremacist group in Florida

@NeloAngelo there is nothing peaceful about it. It’s disrespectful! And riots and fires are only because people have no self control and can’t control their temper.

@Keepitsimple disrespectful to who? i don't see why everyone is throwing such a hissy fit over it. during a game i'm still getting snacks ready for everyone watching the game to bother.

@Keepitsimple how is it not peaceful...?what would you call peaceful?

@Greenbare they are so freaking oppressed with their rich behinds and made rich by many whites as well as any other race!!! They need to be fired !!! Every dang one of them!!!

@Greenbare ahahahaha 😂😂😂

@Socialclutz so you are one of those "my country right or wrong " people right? not me. this is the land of the free and it is our duty and right to balk if our country screws up.

I'm not making a statement about my country. I'm simply stating the traditional norm for the country. You said kneeling was a sign of respect historically. Rather than looking for a fight please interpret everything

@Socialclutz that was Salix 75, i just thought it was an interest point

@SW-User i thought you would want to see an actual picture of me and not an ad like yours.😝

@LILY61 Oh Bunny Brain, have you lost your loving mind? I have to give it to you ....I laughed out loud and am still laughing ! 😂 you go girl... he/she/it.. 😘

@SW-User "talk to the hand?" you really are out of touch.Obama is not a traitor. but you probably believe that all non-republicans are traitors. you sad, twisted sister-boy...and you were the one who started mud flinging and threatening me until i blocked you a bit ago and now you are back at it.

Amen @BlueRain

@BlueRain why

@LILY61 I lost all respect

@Newandimproved then when can a football player show his disapproval concerning the lack of attention for the blacks being killed by white police officers?

wait, are you telling me that is his only venue?

how about they exercise their free speech? get booked on talk shows, how about spending their money for public service announcements, or helping pay the legal expenses of the families that are suing the police departments.

and I take exception to your phrase "blacks being killed by white police officers"

I think that we should be incensed and demand accountability for any shooting or other use of force (lethal or not) that has been deemed excessive - re-freaking-gardless of the race/sex of the cop or the person that is shot/injured.

I won't argue that blacks are disproportionally shot by white officers

BUT to ONLY look them allows non-whites a free pass.

So EVERY use of force needs to be looked at - the bad seeds that need to go, need to go.

@Newandimproved not many football players go on talk shows. it is always the same few and they always stay on the sidelines. and this is a non-verbal and non-violent form. i like it

@NorthernRoses We care because in our country, it is a sign of respect for many who have sacrificed.

@LILY61 When the anthem is played at any event, I believe in standing for it always.

@SW-User so you think they are using the wrong forum? or you don't want to hear about it at all?

@LILY61 Yes, I think it is the wrong platform. Everyone forgets that these guys are paid athletes, and paid very well to do a [b]job[/b]. They are to represent their organization and boss/owner, not go to work to protest one's own personal beliefs. Not many of us can take our [i]agenda[/i] to the work place and not fall unto circumstances...it's real life, or business.

I am all for peaceful protests for whatever, but do it on your own time and back it with actual actions to further help whatever it is that you are trying to accomplish. Talk and in this case (kneeling) is cheap.
