shel, this is my bigger point. Do I agree white people have advantages? Yes
However I think it is being used as a false flag by politicians for personal gain, and as a crutch by others
I would rather focus our efforts on things that will truly help
The kneeling thing is a perfect example. We ignore what they want to fight for and only focus on the kneeling. And I think the kneeling is the wrong way to go about it as well, so i'm not innocent there, but again it just deflects from what they're actually trying to to and the point they're trying to get across.

I ignore the kneeling because almost all examples of "police brutality" are bullshite.

You ever think it may be there fault for picking a controversial way to protest not the people that disagree with them kneeling. And I'm in the same boat as you. I don't agree with it, but if their bosses say they can do it then they can do it. If the owners start losing money from it, though, they gave to be prepared to be cut and can't cry racism.

Nah, the kneeling is a terrible example. If you're protesting for some cause, it's not my fault that your protest is so far removed from the cause that it distorts the message. A protest that began on shaky grounds of police brutality has turned into a discussion of whether kneeling during the anthem dishonors veterans and shits on America. That's not our fault, that's on Kaepernick et al.
