Over the past few weeks, I find myself in shock and disbelief over what has been going on in my country of birth,the United States. I previously proudly served this country in the Military. I don't think I have ever seen such a divide in our nation ever before in my life. I also haven't seen such disrespect to our country with pure hatred for the American way of life, customs and traditions.
This whole nonsense began when Colin Kaepernick pretty much disgracefully said to the fans: Screw you, and kneeled during the playing of the United States National Anthem prior to a game. Yes he has free speech, but that doesn't apply to the private organization which the NFL is. Why the protest? At first it was said because of a verse that supposedly supported racism which was false. Secondly, it came out later that he intended to protest against black oppression. Excuse me, black oppression?
For the liberal black community, and I make sure to say liberal because there are awesome conservative black people who do make something of themselves, please enlighten me on what this oppression you are going though? I see you guys have your own TV channel, your own Music station, and even have affirmative action which helps you get a job as well as advancement in the job. These luxuries come give you an advantage above everyone else because of your skin color. It is not because of your skill set. For crying out loud, a black person held the most highest position in America, the United States President. Seriously where is this oppression? You guys cry out against police brutality, but most of the crime in America is black on black crimes, followed by black on white crimes. Facts are facts.
Truth be told, slavery happened years ago, so get over it. Stop acting like you are the only race of human beings that have went through persecution. 6 million of my people were exterminated for being Jewish in Nazi, Germany. My Jewish people were also slaves in Egypt. Every race including white people have gone through some sort of persecution. Now, with your privileged selves making all of that money you make in sports, music, etc, you want to take a knee? Give me a break. America is about all Americans, not you. Each person has life struggles that they go through, stop blaming other races or genders because you are not getting the handouts you want. Go make something of yourself like your conservative counterparts do. Try to move out of the "ghetto," which by the way originated in Warsaw, Poland when Nazis occupied Jewish communities there.
Basically, I am saying man up, grow up, and get over the past. America has a great system for everyone where anybody can be a success. Stop politicizing in places like sporting events, because no one wants to see that during family time.
Kapper-clown is a coward, pure and simple.
NEVER PROTEST IN UNIFORM or in the STADIUM=STOP DISRESPECTING our ANTHEM & FLAG=ONLY Demonstrat against your "PEOPLE" in DC=
**NEVE EVER DISRESPECT THE IDEA, THE CONCEPT of AMERICA=IF AMERICA LOSES TO THE KNEE TAKERS UR KIDs WILL NEVER KNOW FREEDOM!
THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE
WHICH WAS VERY WELL SAID.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER. I THINK THE GIANTS PLAYER THAT REPLICATED A DOG PEEING AND
THE ONES USIING THE BLACK PANTHER FIST PUMP SHOULD BE FIRED.
I could not have said or written that better, Perfect!
HOORAH!!!
Kap knelt a year ago because the previous two years, 34 black Americans were being killed by police officers and no one was saying, doing, or writing about it, including you. Most of these were on traffic stops. I'm 54 yrs old and in my lifetime I've NEVER read or heard about anyone white and law abiding being killed after a traffic stop, much less nearly 3 doz over an 18 month period.
Jewish people justifiably never want the world to forget the holocaust which took place some 70 yrs ago. The Black community has been going through police brutality, hell, brutality period from White folks for over 300 yrs. The only difference now is its being filmed and still no change. Particularly with the leader we have in the White House, the Black community won't expect ANY change any time soon.
Get over yourself and stop trying to project your values on us. It doesn't work and makes you look uninformed and stupid.
Cool dude! So to help us get over it, let's remove you're civil war 'heritage' statues to traitors who supported a failed nation state in a war with the United States. It reminds us of slavery. You can get over that too.
Ditto. Also, it would probably help you a lot if you'd vote Republican. They aren't trying to keep you, me, & everybody else under their control. Health care, foodstamps, are more forms of control some refuse to recognize. Wait till Rocket Man or someone else causes an EMP.
