Unlike the President, most Americans know NFL kneelers aren't protesting the flag

    The only thing it shows is your complete lack of understanding.

    I don't think telling you about it would do any good.
    And I'm not black, so I would only be giving an opinion. Blacks live with the prejudices everyday.

    The number of people who see a Christmas tree as a pagan symbol is so small it could be considered negligible, to put it in scientific terms

    The same can be said for my middle finger example. Everyone knows what it means.

    And the same can be said for anthem kneeling.

    The only people who are trying to say that anthem kneeling doesn't mean what we ALL know it means, are leftist mouthpieces

    We're forced to accept the symbolism of the confederate flag and associated statues based only on the left's perception of them, people on the right are not allowed to interpret what's acceptable and what's not. To some the confederate flag is a symbol of the south, to others it's a symbol of racism. Guess who has the louder voice?

    Christmas trees are a symbol of a holiday season, joy, and cheer to many people - no religious meaning whatsoever. The fact that the majority of Americans DO view it as a religious symbol does not change the fact. And Christians don't get to demand that the non-religious see their symbols as they do. Look, this is not hard to follow. If you can't understand I pity you. If you won't understand I detest you. Either way I'm glad you are free to be the person you seem to be. What a great country we live in!

    with all the head injuries now known, the sport will prob die off as parents do not want to risk their kids brains for the small chance of going big

    seems like you want to talk about Christianity. Take it some where else.

    They're disrespecting the flag, obviously.

    Good point. And if you fly the stars and bars at your house and you tell me you aren't a racist but simply love the south I would believe you.

    Yeah it's confusing because it says the people know it's about police burtality but kespernick himself said it was about oppression in general, so I'm skeptical about how the poll was conducted.

    Your missing out. He still puts on a pretty good show. It would be awesome if he'd leave out the politics.

    Great! Then you understand who ever flies a Stars and Bars flag is able to define it as states rights not slavery.

    Trump has soft words for Jewish/Israeli racists for obvious reasons, but he condemned all kind of violence in C-ville, though it was caused ONLY by Commies who are on the payroll of Soros & Co.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, many on both sides had done so even on this forum.
