no one ever thought it was about veterans. you're showing yourself to be ignorant, at least you admit you haven't looked into it. The protest is about racial injustice. It was changed because it was insensitive to veterans in its virgin form, but it's not about veterans or veterans rights. the conservative right made it about that because they knew if they made it look like blacks were disrespecting veterans the public would turn on them even more than they were. and here you are, a sucker who bought it. good thing you have been avoiding looking like an ignorant fool for so long.

"too black" and "too much like a thug" are quotes i've heard personally from his family. so both i guess
my original statement involving the idea of veterans, was combo'd at the end with a question mark for a reason. it was not even an issue i was concerned with, just one keyword that was popping up. you responded with.

"omgerddd kids today omgerrd. they believe everything they hear (although these outlets are not effective ways of communication for rich football players, just everyone else). you are earth scum for not knowing this is about racial injustice(even though you already said it was about oppression of blacks)."
you threw out everything else said and focused on the one word.
was it when i said he was kneeling on behalf the oppression of black people?
was it when i said it was about race and giving america the middle finger?
maybe when i said it was because there is a time and a place, it's not exactly his protest that is the issue?
maybe you only read 1 word and didn't see the question mark.
