re: What is the end goal to taking the knee during the national anthem?

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.).
