These comments were valid?

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder"

"People of color have been targeted by police. So that's a large part of it and they're government officials. They are put in place by the government.

Then he said police officers are modern day slave patrol and posted this picture

I really don't feel like getting into gotcha games over semantics. His original issue has as some validity, though there is no evidence a disproportionate # of blacks are killed/arrested by police compared to crimes committed.

His rhetoric was inflammatory and counter productive. He seems clearly influenced by his radical gf and most radicals just spout nonsensical stuff about broad issues without specifics which makes it hard to solve the problem. I suspect I'm many cases they don't want to work on solving certain problems they just want to be "activists".
