Re: Lets Have OUR OWN PROTEST
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 ...
