oh right. i had to refresh myself on the original reason he took a knee.
to protest america because black people are "oppressed". and then for police brutality, and then for war veterans?
i can't help but feel depressed hearing this shit. my response matters not from here on out, but fuck this guy for kneeling if it's about race in america.
there is a time and a place. during the national anthem, under the employment of people that own and/or frequently use that property, in front of millions of people, is not one of them.
it's not about race for everyone. it's about how he's protesting. for me at least.
This sentence right here exemplifies the divide on the issue. you don't even know what it's about because your head has been filled with ulterior motives.
Kaepernick met with a group of veterans that all agreed that kneeling, rather than sitting on the bench (which he did at first), was respectful of the troops and the flag. Kneeling isn't a universal sign of disrespect, like sitting with your head down is.
Now fast forward and we have people like you, who didn't even know the root cause, disagreeing with veterans about what should and shouldn't offend them and their service to the flag.
this is a depressing level of ignorance. i dont even want to know the number of articles u read talking about how disrespectful it is to troops that u didn't even know weren't the target of the protest. you're probablly also the same type of person who told the rioters in Ferguson to find a peaceful way to protest. you're a hypocrite and tbh from this post i'm convinced you're a moron.

protest led by kaep - who got a ton of racial injustice from the privileged people. like the privileged ones who adopted him after his biological father split before he was born. that injustice was completely uncalled for by that privileged family who adopted kaep. or the privileged people who gave him a big fat contract before he opted out. the racial injustice of kaep getting paid by privileged people for his labor is literally national-socialist racist facism.
the difference here is that i know his white family(his first cousin and former best friend was in my sisters wedding). and i know how quickly they distanced themselves from him before his protest even started, because he was acting too much like a thug.

honestly that would be pending his contract, which i have no idea what would look like.
if you were a common man, you have 24 hour access to debate something in america, like we are doing right now.
you cannot access every form of outlet 24 hours a day, but there are always ways to tell people.
if he doesn't have a strict contract...
any news outlet that would love to bite into a subject like this again with celebrity endorsement.
facebook, twitter any forum. youtube
public conventions of many types and/or private events.
to name a few
in short, all of the ineffectual places almost no one will see it. guaranteeing that nothing gets done and you dont have to feel uncomfortable.
