Wow. There are a lot of ummm ... " Big Bad Patriots " here.

First I'd like to point out that Kaepernick is protesting the national anthem , not the flag. The difference couldn't be bigger.

Francis Scott Key wrote the song when captured by the British , he then proceeded to write a song about freedom while also condemning slaves in the third verse that's often not sung. What a hypocrite.

You wouldn't ask a Jewish man to sing a song that has proud roots to Nazi Germany , but this is somehow cool ?

And if you're really tired of hearing about black America being oppressed , just imagine how tired they are of being oppressed.
The statistics in the judicial system confirm there is a racial bias in America. There are literally so many statistics that support this argument , I highly question the intelligence of anyone who opposeses these numbers. These are well documented facts.

Not to mention , The Reagan administration has recently come out and admitted the war on drugs was a deliberate attempt to target black males. Google it if you are skeptical.

And I'm more than positive that these NFL players have expirienced some form of oppression due to the color of their skin early in in their lives. Money changes things , but not everything.

Lastly , quit telling people who have opinions that differ from your own to " Get out of your county ". The first amendment was put in place to encourage diplomacy and spur Intelligent diolgue so we can become " a more perfect union ".

Some of you " Proud American's " couldn't be more anti American in light of whats actually in the constitution.

I love America , We have some problems , they won't go away denying they exist.

You Can't Say Impossible without first saying Im Possible ...

What exactly is America doing to oppress blacks? I'm curious.

I just stated there are dozens of sources with confirmed statistics. If you want to argue with numbers , that's on you. If that's the best comeback you've got , you already lost the argument.

This country was built on the backs of slaves that never profited a dime. If Kap doesn't want to stand for a song that glorifies the oppression of his ancestors then I stand behind him for it. You hating him for it makes you the furthest thing from a true American.

Land of the free though right ?

Danno

You posted innuendos, not facts.

Are blacks not free now? This Great Nation he's protesting is the one that freed them. Is he really too stupid to know that?

Run, before we put up a wall.

I am proud to report this morning that ALL of our Saints are Real Americans.

See attachments. A couple of you might be offended by the 2nd one.

Im very concerned that I am offending some people.

AMERICA! B***ches!

You know, I am sick and tired of hearing and putting up with liberal pos's like you. It's people like you and the rest of your Whiney crybabies that our country is so close to destruction. I'm also sick and tired of hearing about how black people were slaves boo effin hoo. You'd think that black people were the only people in the history of the world that were salves so you mister stastic should take your own damned advice and take a TRUE look at slavery. Every race on the face of the planet were slaves at some point in time. Some of us though got over it, let it go and put it behind us and moved on. Problem is, a lot of black folks just can't do that. Look at the movies they make, slavery, gangsta, slavery and on and on into adneauseum. These people in fact are NOT downtrodden and owe their problems to their own decisions and attitudes. It's not who you are or what color you are, it's how you present yourself. Like the black professor stated, "your attitude speaks so loud that I can't hear a word you are saying." This is so true it's rediculous. Blacks claim that whites don't get harassed by the police like they do. Well, for one thing, most whites don't resist arrest, they don't speak disrespectfully to an officer when they are being questioned about something, and that, believe it or not, goes a long way to not being arrested, or harassed. Whites that dress like thugs or gangsters do get arrested and harassed just like blacks that do the same things. I don't know a white guy that has any preconceived bad attitude towards a black person, but if you approach that same guy with a thug attitude the situation will deteriorate very quickly. I met a guy just the other day. We met at a barber shop. This kid drives OTR trucks. It's tuff, long hours, and long times away from home and family. He has 4 kids and a wife to support. Do you want to know what his plan is? He wants to drive this truck so that he can make enough money to buy 3 more trucks and start his own trucking company. That, folks, is the American Dream. Do you think that this is only avaliable to him because he's white? If you do, then you, like so many mislead Americans are WRONG! This kid, with this large family, is in fact, a black man. He is well spoken, he is not dressed in any fancy clothes, just clean blue jeans and a t-shirt. The point is, that the American Dream is alive and well and available to anyone who wants it. Problem is, there are too many lazy slackers that want to do and deal drugs and be gangsters. They want to be criminals. They don't want to work for a better way of life, they want to take what other people have worked for and by force and violence if that's what it takes. Folks, there have been people like this since the beginning of time, and there will be until the end of time. You make your own problems and you make your own solutions. The black people that have let go of the past and taken the initiave to acquire the life they want have all succeeded. All the rest are just lies and deceit engineered to elicit sympathy to a cause that is a lie. Sorry so long, needed to be said.
