I'm not arguing about any of that. I guess my point is that this thread was built on a pretty weak premise.
No it isn't.
We need to see the financial records of every protester to determine if they are sincere or if this is merely "Look at me and my virtue" showboating horse shite.

Even if these guys are blowing all their cash on toys and mansions, it still doesn't mean that when they kneel it is a statement that the system is out to get them as individuals.
Granted, the 2nd half of the OP take about giving back to communities and whatever but that's moving in another direction based on the title of this thread.
His premise is these NFL players are bitching about a system that's out to get them when they have obviously prospered under this system. That's pretty easily shot down by pointing out that these guys aren't really protesting against personal strife. Weak premise.

They should be protesting statisticians and facts.

Funny thing is, if many went back to "where they came from", their lives are in danger because they succeeded, OR even worse, they have "members of the community" that demand payback for their success.
It is a sad situation all the way around.

Man you guys are ignorant. Whenever I want a short-sighted slanted point of view which is extra insensitive to any minority; this place is my go to.
The fact you never complain about billionaire and millionaire white polititicans and businessmen doing the same thing, but are up in arms now makes the hypocrisy even funnier.
Downvote away

I'm in agreement They are in fact crooks. However that's a different argument at this time.

The slavery, and racist thing is beyond played out. At some point, the black community will have to stop making excuses and look inward to the source of all their "struggles", family structure & culture. Fix that, and you will fix the problem.

To be fair I don't think they would tell you they are oppressed either. They are using it as a platform more for others than themselves.
They fricked up by using the anthem as a tool in their cause.
