Are you saying he realizes that for most Black Americans that same flag represents a country that continues to violate their rights?

Agree to disagree is a list concept now, you must agree with me or I will think you are dumb, racist, ignorant, hateful, etc....

Of many, this is teh root of the divide in this country.

People think their opinions are the only opinion and you're the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD if you don't agree with everything I think.

So Brees has to change his opinion he's had his entire life that standing for the flag shows respect?

Like I said before, it’s up to him how he wants to feel. It just came across has him not realizing that the experiences his family had were not the same as those in the black community. If he understands that, he can take that kind of information however he likes.

Brees should have just kept it at he’ll never kneel and left the and I’m paraphrasing that nobody should ever kneel out of it. Brees is probably much less racist and cares more for minorities than most of the white boys in this thread and on twitter bashing him. Saying that, his wording was stupid in today’s time.

I like that you quoted my post and then misquoted it in your response. Nice juxtaposition.

They have the same rights. But their rights aren't protected the same way (or violated since you misunderstood that word).

It use to just be a TD thing where we argued cause we were bored so agree to disagree didn't count, now I see it everywhere....

Social Media it has become the worst because of the mob mentality that we see. Say something that one doesn't agree with and it gets shared and next thing you know people are calling for your job, life, etc... All because you don't agree with them

Social Media has created this monster that allows people to only hear the opinions that are in line with their own, so if/when you hear one it is foreign and thus makes people unwilling to just disagree.

I forgot what a liberal shithole Saintsreport is, but this topic is bringing out their best.

Right, and one shouldn't be fricking canceled because they feel standing shows respect for the flag.

Wow. You are perfectly embodying the problem for most on this thread. Well done.

The right to not get killed while jogging, the right to not have the cops called on you and accused of assault for bird watching in a park, the right not to be murdered in the street by police as other police watch, the right not to have your home intruded on without a warrant and then murdered in your own home.

There's seriously a list of violations that goes back for decades. Do you watch the news and constantly wonder "man, what is going on? I dont get it."

Once you show this never happens to people of other races, you may have a point. You won't be able to though, so you don't have a point.

Actually, you would need to show that it does.

Reading comprehension is really a lost skill.
