National Anthem stand up with their hand over their heart while watching a sporting event at home?

I'm more offended by the lie that black people are oppressed by outside forces, than him not standing for the anthem.

There's a house in my neighborhood and they still have the Christmas decorations out in the yard.

I think I'll start a thread about it.

You realize it wasn't because he didn't stand,


It was because he made a big deal out of it and basically shite on America, cops and white people in general.

Don't start shite and there won't be shite.

I saw this on my bike ride this weekend. It probably makes more sense to just leave them up at this point. It's closer to to Christmas than it is to the Epiphany.

There was a time, even after Jim Crow, where that was true. And while things aren't perfect, things are probably more equal than at any point in world history. That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for perfection. But until the war on drugs ends, we'll start at our current plateau.

Many of us chose to wear a uniform to protect the freedoms that make it possible for him to do silly shite like this. I just ask that nobody get upset when I cheer that defensive lineman rips his head off. In the words of Daniel Tosh," Maybe V-8 will sponsor a vegetable".

While I find it distasteful, I think it is his right to do so if he chooses...however, he has to deal with the social consequences.

It'll take a long time before it's not relevant. Black kids read books from not that long ago that show how people who look like them were treated as second class citizens. Were they first hand victims? No. But knowing that when their grandparents were children, white people were repulsed by the idea of swimming with them might have an impact on someone in 2016.

Of course, the flip side of that is BLM not saying shite when some thugs murder a white Korean war vet for no reason in Birmingham, or set a grandmother on fire in Georgia, etc.

I don't give a shite what Colin Kaepernik does. Its a right he has, I don't have to agree with it, but we live in a country where people can do it.. With that said, I don't believe for one second he is doing it for the reason he says he is doing it. He don't like Chip Kelly and he wants to get cut..

Kaepernick is just as dumb as the people who think things are hunky dory because the president is black. Like most other things the truth lies somewhere in between.
