you are missing the point. Donald Sterling has HIS beliefs and was forced to sell his team. These guys have their beliefs and everyone is supposed to respect those beliefs. It's similar to the nonsense going on at ESPN...have an opinion that leans to the left? All good or slap on the wrist. To the right? Fired or made to apologize
I realize it is fruitless to debate people who have no use for logic but let me say this:
These idiot protests are based on lies, directed not at something relevant but a symbol which will cause the most offense to the most people (the flag), carried out by extremely fortunate people who have benefited from the very people they offend.
Not only that, but if there is any police impropriety when it comes to NFL players it's too much leniency! These knuckleheads from college to the NFL have literally gotten away with rape and murder because of who they are.

It's really about your experiences. I don't like kaeperknivk at all but I understand all this. It's not about blacks. This country accepts all religions. So it's really time to accept all religions on a every day basis is what I get from it. I had 3 muslims from Afghanistan in my high school who would never stand for the flag. Nobody got mad or took it offensive. It should be what YOU stand for and those who create a negative perception of you because of that is really on them. Because that's what this country is about, accepting of your neighbor. Of course there are other ways to express your message. But honoring your country and not being accepting of people of color who stand up for what they believe is right....is contradictory in itself if you say you support this country.
I think white people don't even realize they are privileged. I'm able to think outside of my frame. But most white people think that's how it should be. But it's the fact that if you are born into white privileged even if you are not rich and privileged you still are white.
It's impossible to deny that being born with white skin in America affords people certain unearned privileges that people of another skin color simply are not afforded.
The problem with the disconnect is some black people understand this in the wrong context. They start to think it happens when they go shopping or the bank. That's little shit. The real shit is having to turn on your tv and see people of your race being widely represented. Or if a cop pulls you over. I'm white, I know the chances of me getting pulled over are low. I'm privileged. Applying for jobs, race matters. If you ask me that's the real shit. And if they even knew what they wanted to stand for maybe I'd get behind them but I forreal think kaeperknick doesn't even know what he wants to stand for. Because he has said nothing that I haven't heard a million times over.
