Yep, there are consequences. Kaep lost his career as an athlete. MLK lost his life. Do you want Kaep assassinated too, to satisfy your sense of fairness?
Would I have stood with MLK?

If what we have isn't working, when will it work!?
Maybe the same old tired logic got us here.
Maybe giving Black an autonomous region is the solution!!??
Kaep hates cops (pig socks) start there
he supports BLM -which tells us we are still reeling from slavery.
I dont know about this 30%.
I lived in a big city - and we generally supported civil rights, but I was a Democrat back then ..so who knows
"When I marched in the civil rights movement, I did not march with a 12-point program. I marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes. And we changed attitudes.”

It's interesting to read the discussions on social media by black friends/acquittances on this topic. I share your belief that as individuals its incumbent upon us to treat all people with respect. The counter argument to that is black people specifically aren't given respect by society and the government.
One thing we often hear is we can vote for change. And that's true. But since Kaepernick is being discussed he took a lot of heat because he said he didn't vote. And he said he doesn't vote because voting supports an oppressive system. And from that perspective think of this last election (at the Presidential level). Your two choices were Trump and the guy who wrote the '94 crime bill which some black activists called The New Jim Crow. Not exactly inspiring options.
There's obviously no easy or simple answer.
getting urban blacks to vote their interest is the "solution"
The northern cities have failed despite yuge amounts of money put towards education, housing.
These morons keep doing the same thing and hoping for different outcomes
Trump imporoved the black vote to 17% -but that's still not going to help unless urban blacks wake up
If they wanted an honest conversation, they wouldn't claim racism every time blacks fall short of white success. They automatically assume discrepancies in a long list of things is due to racism. They fail to acknowledge that having a 75% bastard birth rate, a crime rate far greater than they make up in society, a drop out rate higher than any other group, and supporting Democrats does far more to harm them than any white person every could.

He wanted blacks to be judged by content of character. When you left wing white trash realized that would never happen, you started supporting programs that judged by skin color.

Government policies do matter. They are important. But ultimately change is going to come from within, not via the government. (And that comment isn't directed just at black people). Take white people, why do certain subsets of white people do better than others? What's emphasized in the community? What's emphasized in the home? Those things matter as much, or more, than government policy.

when did he do that, lying cracker boy? got a source?
Blacks have been voting for Democrats in overwhelming numbers for over 50 years. The government has taken the place of the father as shown by a 75% bastard birth rate. Blacks live in poverty at a percentage 2 1/2 x that of whites. The dropout rate for blacks is higher. And the list goes on. So, continuing to vote Democrat is going to solve those things?

Was it me?
do you stand with him now?
how about judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin?

where do you get magically? No but it would get rid of the corrupt Democratic big city machine politics
that have been proven beyond a doubt to utterly fail the black community.
That would at least bring in some accountability for city officials
I swear I used to laugh at "plantation mentality" - but there isnt any other way to look at it
since urban blacks (at least in the north) keep voting the same way

After Clinton's welfare reform nearly 28 years ago. Most Blacks aren't sitting around doing nothing & getting TANF.
In fact TANF is almost exclusively given to single mothers & really poor families to prevent homelessness of children.
It's also temporary only 5 years & I believe requires volunteer work.
The truth is post welfare reform nothing changed for Blacks.
The truth is the massive drop in racism didn't change Blacks.
It couldn't possibly be just Democrat policies.
Jamaica has even more out of wedlock births & higher murder rates than even African Americans.
Jamaica has very little if any social programs.
Jamaica makes East Saint Louis look rich.
Maybe you didn't see his socks then his lies about what he meant.

you make a good point...but you are glossing over WHILE MLK WAS BEING ARRESTED, PROTESTING, LEADING MARCHES, opinion polls of him and his protests were incredibly negative among white folks...but now, those same kind of overtly racist pigs act like MLK was right on, like the hypocritical bastards they are.
