To never have any white person tell any black person what to do ever again.

Trump is out of office. They can't explain what they're fighting for.

They think that kneeling during the anthem will somehow end inequality. Its actually kinda sad that they think that those in power are going to change bc they took a knee when in fact whoever these people are dont give a shite about the people kneeling.
You know whats going to stop inequality?
-People caring about education enough to not want to live off of welfare and portray the thug life.
-Teenagers having respect for life and not having children out of wedlock.
-Males actually caring for their families instead of leaving as soon as he finds out his girl is pregnant.
-People having respect for law enforcement when they are pulled over and questioned.
-People showing respect for each other no matter what race they are or political views they have.
-People getting their heads out of their phones 24/7 and actually having conversations with others.
Kneeling during the anthem, tweeting your displeasure, blocking roads and highways, and//or rioting during "peaceful protests" will not do shite except piss off the people you want to listen to you.

The complete eradication of the police's ability to enforce the law and possibly black supremacy

Thanks for sharing your horrible facebook meme

I would assume it's mostly about injustices for african americans related to law enforcement.
I'm fine with them trying to promote awareness or whatever for that. Sure, there are some bad cops. Sure, black people are absolutely profiled in some cases.
However, it would go over a lot better if they stated that they wanted to work on the issue from both sides, and admitted the african american community has to do a lot better on their end too (committing less crimes, listening to police officers and not thinking every cop is out to get them, Michael Bennett not making up fake stories about the Las Vegas police, etc.).

I think it's stupid but trump should just stfu about it
Posted on 9/25/17 at 6:48 pm to hsfolk
They are pushing for serious violence in an attempt to bring this Country down. Rewrite the Constitution, completely dismember this Country as we know it, the statues are part of this. It is attempt to erase the Country from existence as it is known now.

Free shite
Posted on 9/25/17 at 7:01 pm to hsfolk
I honestly have no idea.
I also wish both sides would STFU about it. My Facebook feed looks like a moron ate a political Mad gab and then vomited it onto my screen.

To make all you "Constitutional scholars" when it comes to the Second Amendment look like hypocritical racists when it comes to the First.
I can tell from the responses in the thread that it's working.

I don't know what the end game is and really don't care. Just wanna watch some football

The truth would likely get you banned.
Posted on 9/25/17 at 7:29 pm to hsfolk
At this point it's like planking. A stupid, trendy act that garners attention.

There is no goal it's simply ignorant people protesting the United States. More white people are killed by police officers than any other race each year by a wide margin but not one of these clowns even know nor would admit or protest for those people. This is nothing more than another political protest from the winey left because they lost. There's no end game just pampered athletes complaining about something they know nothing about.

Taking a knee was slowly fading away until Trump called NFL players SOB's. The reason for kneeling than seemed to switch from a protest against inequality, to a group deciding this is their way to show a form of unification. Ultimately Trump attacked their character and naturally one would expect them to take offense. Kneeling for the anthem may very well hurt the NFL financially, but as a group (owners, coaches, players, etc.), they will not let an outsider attack them.
