Slaves liberated by who? Foreign invaders, slave uprising, or the last drop of blood from half a million white American men?
Not that any of us alive are to blame, like none alive suffered through it, but this flag corrected itself it wasn’t corrected by another.
African American Freedom was paid for by the lives of men carrying this flag singing this national anthem, while the African slave trade was started with the help of many others (including European and African nations).
^ Your liberators’ flag and tombstones fwiw

This is an ill-thought -out cliche and a fallacy . The act of “ peaceful protest” is Value- Neutral. There is nothing “ patriotic “ about peacefully exercising your rights while promoting unvirtuous principles. For instance, peacefully protesting in favor of abridgeing the Rights of others is Not patriotic. Having a protest against a virtuous principle is not “ patriotic “.
We have the right to peacefully protest but that does not magically infer virtue upon it. Eric Reid’s cause is the opposite of patriotic and the opposite of virtuous because he is promoting Race Grievance, Identity Politics, Cultural Marxism, and many other things which are catastrophic for any society or India who embraces them.
unvirtous is subjective. there is rarely consistencies in moral standard outside of the norms that all societies follow.ie don't kill, the golden rule, stealing....
just because you dont agree with it it doesnt make them unpatriotic or unvirtous.
they were protesting systemic racism in the law enforcement and judicial system.
and there are some statistics to back it up.

Exactly
Just like other countries have racism against several different races, yet it's as if the USA is the worst. We aren't.. and what country didn't go through some sort of slavery at one point? Has to be limited. Where do people think the whole idea of slavery came from? Majority of us here were immigrants at some point.. If anything the USA should celebrate just how far it has come and be very proud. But it's whatever. It's cool to just hate on America.
I once had an Chinese woman friend who absolutely hated other asians.. That hatred goes on all over. It's ignorant.
If Reid actually wants to make a difference in the communities, he could try other productive avenues rather than taking a knee during an anthem.. which just further divides us.

We have a LOT of statistics. Black on Black crime is 1000 times more likely to happen before any law enforcement issue. Yes we have has some law enforcement problems with all races--we all should demand that they use body camera's.
But, if you are going to use statistics, then you have to live with the results and if your black you probably will not like them.

Claiming that white police officers are just executing black criminals on a whim is insane.
Every police shooting whether or not a black is involved is judiciously investigated and if found to be unjustified, the culprits are removed from the police force and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
You just don't like police officers risking their lives to protect the general public because you are a terrorist supporter. Moreover, racism doesn't have anything to do with that you race baiter.

It’s clear to anyone not filled with hate, that peaceful protest is as patriotic as right to own a gun, but it doesn’t matter. That’s not what this is about.
Peaceful protest in support of the Black Lives Matter terrorist organization empowers and encourages blacks to perpetrate terrorist attacks on innocent police officers who are merely doing their jobs to protect the general public. Are you slightly sick?
Moreover, every time a police shooting occurs, all the officers involved are suspended immediately pending investigation. Then each incident is investigated very judiciously and thoroughly. If the officer's involved actions are not found to be justified, they are fired immediately and then subsequently prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
There is absolutely no justification whatsoever for the Black Lives Matter terrorist organization to exist you terrorist supporter, and in fact, it was created by the Obama administration in cahoots with George Soros to divide the American people from within in a failed attempt to nationalize all the state and local police departments under the US Justice Department, as an initial step in the creation of an eventual Marxist totalitarian police state after they take our guns away from us.

Eric Reid is a good guy I admire him for his beliefs, he has paid a price for standing up for others.
He has stood up for Black Lives Matter terrorists who murder innocent police officers in cold blood for merely doing their jobs of protecting the public.
As every police shooting was already all thoroughly investigated in every case. The Black Lives Matter terrorist organization was created by the Obama administration in cahoots with George Soros to attempt to nationalize all the state and local police departments under the Federal Department of Justice so that they could create a Marxist Totalitarian state as soon as they took everybody's guns away from them. Yet, that's what you witting or unwittingly support.

I read the link and he said he "probably" wouldn't kneel for the anthem in the future. He also said he thought it was crazy people thought when the players kneeled it was to protest the anthem. He goes on to talk about social injustice.
I'm like one of the other posters who thinks he was misguided and can turn it around. We ALL make mistakes. To me though what I just read there was disingenuous and excuse driven.
I think if he and other players would issue public apologies for the bad example and kneel out of respect for their great country moving forward lots would be forgiven.

Peaceful protests are considered sub human now?
Who's protesting the right of peaceful protests? Certainly not me or anyone else I know. That's not what people are griping about? Wake up, what planet are you living on?
However, when you protest to support the Black Lives Terrorist group like Eric has been doing so that they will be encouraged to murder more innocent police officers for merely doing their jobs of protecting the public, then you are a terrorist supporter pure and simple. And that's what people are riled up about.
Moreover, if that is his principles, then that terrorist supporter doesn't have any principles.
Since way before the Obama administration in cahoots with George Soros created the Black Lives Matter terrorist group to murder in cold-blood innocent police officers in a failed attempt to justify nationalizing all state and local police departments under the Federal Department of Justice so that they can create a Marxist totalitarian police state the instant they take all of our guns away from us, every police shooting was automatically investigated very judiciously and thoroughly. As all police officers involved in a police shooting are all immediately suspended pending investigating. Then if the shooting is found not to be justified, they are fired immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
What planet do you live on?

soldiers died to give us the right to peacefully protest.
I agree totally with his right to peaceful protest and have no problem with his views and his protest. I question his choice and forum that he imposed on his teammates, his employer and most of the fans that pay for his salary.
The fans set aside hours each season to enjoy their time watching their favorite sport only to see a player impose his views and ruin the whole game and many have turned off the TV and moved on from watching the NFL games.
2015 viewers 22.5 million
2016 viewers 20.3 million
2017 viewers 18.2 million
I disagree that peaceful protesting is one of the most patriotic things a person can do, how can disrespecting the flag be patriotic?
We as fans have the right to support and watch anything we want
Reid has the right to peaceful protest
NFL teams have the right to sign any player they want
Rickdaddy4188, you have the right to defend Reid all you want.

Again closed minded people can't comprehend it's not the country it's the principles of certain thing and/or people running the country. I served so that he can have that freedom. I wouldn't knee but feel proud we have that right as Americans. I've been to plenty of lsu games where people talk and where hats during the anthem. That's their right.
