    He was involved in discriminating against blacks in housing twice and paying undocumented Polish workers on the cheap and not providing industry safety standards. It was in all the papers back in the day.

    Not Kaepernick and his little cadre of overpaid clowns in the NFL - all they care about is da popo cappin homiez. In fact when I protest it, I'm usually called a racist.

    I go to games all the time. Football, both college and pro, baseball, basketball, and hockey. If you think people are rushing to their seats so they can hear the anthem you have another thing coming.

    I was simply giving you a last chance to be rational.

    So be it.

    And where is your link to unbiased, factual proof that these people somehow transform from human mammals to animals?

    Yep

    How about protesting the facts that a huge portion of the black population does not take advantage of the free education offered to them?
    How about protesting the fact that a huge portion of the black population is responsible for the almost 80% of black babies being born into fatherless single mother homes?
    How about protesting the fact that a huge portion of the black population engages in criminal activity?
    How about protesting the fact that drug and alcohol abuse infest the black population more than other groups?
    How about protesting the fact blacks seem to purposed disrespect the law and legal authority?

    lol... it's not that empty at kick off. Just so you know, the media that did report crowd sizes all agreed they were dramatically down.

    How about protesting child illiteracy? How about protesting child hunger? How about protesting STDs?

    We can make lists forever that start with "how about protesting....". Why not just look at whatever they're protesting and argue for it or against it. Agree or disagree.

    It doesn't have to be "primarily" to be protested during a protest. They choose to do it during those ceremonies therefore the are targets of their demonstration and protest. They can't wiggle out of that now with their denials. Don't protest DURING the ceremonies honoring them then their and your denials might have some credibility.

    So...you have no link to unbiased, factual proof that the NFL players are kneeling primarily in protest of the flag and the country?

    You are either just assuming they are (without any factual proof) and/or you are putting words in their mouths and telling them why they are protesting (even though you probably know none of them personally).

    Got it.


    So, you like to condemn people without proof. Somehow, I doubt you would like others to do the same to you. I guess you are not big on the Golden Rule.

    Noted.

    That is not factual proof of any transformation from human being to animal.

    Do you have unbiased, factual proof that they are no longer human beings but are now animals (eukaryotic, multicellular organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia)?

    If you are so smart, why are the NFL stadiums so empty?

    As I said not taking advantage of the education that is provided to them.

    Yes parents should feed their children and if necessary take advantage of the state and federal food programs, why aren't they already?

    Yes they should get married and have sex with their non-STD spouse and then any children that may be produced they would be in a nuclear family.

    All the ones I listed lead directly to what they are protesting, the need for a high police presence in their communities to fight the higher crime that is a result.

    So you agree that it isn't relevant what they aren't protesting. Because they aren't kneeling for any of those issues you listed and I listed. So going back to what they are protesting, that's what we should be discussing. I don't agree with their message that blacks are being systematically killed by policemen. But I still support their right to protest what they think to be true without calling them names or calling them animals.

    They are not protesting the flag. They are disrespecting the flag, fallen warriors, and their country.

    Wow... The point she was trying to make is that YOU don't get to choose what is important enough for someone else protest. I don't agree with kap at all about systemic police violence against minorities (the police here in Albuquerque kill everyone equally) but if he really believes that I have NO issues with the way he was going about his protest.

    Posting a flat out Lie and then Back slapping it does not it TRUE.

    Liberalism as we know it is circling the Drain......
    Watch Hillary Rodham Clinton's interview yesterday on the Militant News Network.
    The Filthy, Vile, Evil persona emanates from her throughout......

    You are right they aren't protesting the flag. The fact that YOU feel they are disrespecting the flag, fallen warriors, and their country means you need to stop being such a snowflake. When did the libs and republicans switch pansy (pansy wasn't the first p-word that came to mind) sides?

    I replied to your question I have no obligation to repeat myself. That you can reply to it is quite telling.

    I have no idea what you are trying to say here, I gave several things that actually are effecting the black communities that they could better spend their time and efforts and have a better chance to correct that which they believe is wrong. What they are protesting has no basis in proof and what little of it that does exist is NOT the problem in those communities. They are grand standing. And yes they can protest all they want, outside of their employment, THAT is not the issue here.

    Not agreeing with your inane argument does not make one silly or manipulated

    They ARE disrespecting it by making it the target of their protest during the honoring of it.
