I can understand a certain amount of ignorance; but, with the media and the liberals – there is a new strain of ignorance out there.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of
the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability. A good example is Chicago – the killing fields. Don’t see any of these knee-takers doing anything but rattling their brains. Talk is cheap – now step up and out and do some community service in those cities where your brothers are killing each other. Oh, and don’t forget to bring your wallet.

Viral Cartoon Perfectly Explains How Utterly Pointless Kaepernick’s “Protest” Is
By Davis

The debate over NFL players kneeling in protest of the national anthem, a protest started by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick last year, grew thick over the weekend when President Donald Trump waded into the middle of it.
Proponents of the protest insist that kneeling during the anthem is a way to draw attention to the racism and police brutality that occurs within the United States.
While these protests certainly have brought up the topics of race and police, in reality they have accomplished nothing. A cartoon that is circulating the internet perfectly sums up just how ineffective these protests are.
The cartoon depicts Kaepernick sitting on top of a pile of bodies, labeled “black on black murder. In a word bubble, cartoon Kaepernick states that he’ll continue to sit until police brutally is eliminated.
Despite Kaepernick’s supposed care for violence against blacks, has said little of the bloodshed that has ravaged the black community in the form of black on black crime.
In fact, 2015 data from the FBI showed that 2,380 African-Americans were killed by other African-Americans, while 229 African-Americans were killed by people identified as white.
Those are some pretty lopsided statistics, but you don’t see anyone kneeling during the national anthem protesting “black-on-black” murders — or making a stand against black crime whatsoever.
That’s because these protesters don’t actually care about stopping violence against African-Americans — all they care about is themselves.
These football players see these protests as a chance to gain a following (because being professional football players apparently isn’t enough). If they cared about stopping the violence, they would do something other than kneel.
Kneeling, linking arms, and even staying in the a locker room during the national anthem accomplishes nothing — all it does is show a complete lack of respect for those who sacrificed their lives for this nation.
There are racial problems in America — there’s no denying that — but trying to paint a one-sided picture of violence in the United States only makes things worse.
