NFL Players Kneel, Raise Fists During National Anthem in Preseason Games

[CFM]

African Americans have every right to protest. The American flag stands for Liberty and Justice for all. Does anybody really believe that America has provided liberty and Justice for all African Americans over its history?
I don't.

Does anyone believe that blacks who never were slaves will ever stop blaming white people that never owned them?

I don't.

Several NFL players raised their fists or took a knee during the national anthem at preseason games on Thursday night, reigniting the social justice protests that provoked the wrath of President Trump last season. Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, who had promised earlier this week that players would soon let their stance be known on a new anthem policy, raised his fist, along with cornerback De'Vante Bausby. Jenkins and other Eagles players wore a T-shirt during pregame warm-ups that read, “More than 60 percent of prison populations are people of color” and “Nearly 5,000 kids are in adult prisons and jails.” Several Miami Dolphins players also joined in the protest, with defensive end Robert Quinn reportedly raising a fist as wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson took a knee.

Well, maybe Trump should LISTEN to them.........

When people have a grievance, its more productive to listen.

Its a bit late now.. Trump already had a couple of hissy fits, mocked them and demanded they be fired.

Racist backwoods redneck CFM thinks Slavery is the only injustice that African Americans have endured.
I rest my case.

So, the kneelers turned down an opportunity to meet with the president? Any number of advocacy groups would love that opportunity.

Why should we take them seriously?

Trump had an ugly tantrum that lasted for two weeks.

Sadly, some white people like Trump react that way.. Its knee jerk.

I don't know much about it.. I do know that poor rural areas in Kentucky have had a serious uptick in methamphetamine and opioid deaths.

Looks like a very few players can't find a way to actually voice their concerns....
