    Maybe you can explain how it works.
    If you knew history better, this would be easier.

    Question .. how did raising a fist in 1968 help the cause they were fighting for?

    I can give you the historical perspective if you need it.

    It became a symbol that endues to this day .. just as taking a knee will endure.

    America has never been the country it pretends to be, and global exposure of that truth is a powerful force for change.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Black NFL players that are kneeling or sitting are exposing the thug in them,
    you can take the thug out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the thug.

    ANd I mean that in the most insulting way, don't misunderstand me.

    They're not only showing their stupidity by conflating two entirely different causes, but bowing to the inner thug in them that
    resorts to whining and crying racism when nothing else works

    Many of us never stand for God Save the Queen here because it is not our anthem and, as with the one you go in for, belongs to an unpleasant regime. In England, however, we stand for the English anthem: it is simply good manners to do so in foreign countries.

    You misunderstand. The white supremacists like to offer the strawman about disrespecting the flag, the military, and a laundry list of other bullshit. This isn't about history. This is about a real and present problem that we still see almost every day in this country.

    So I guess you can say that the history of racism in this country is still on the front burner in pockets across the nation.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Believe it or not patriots have died for that flag. I mean the flag itself as well as the country.

    You are literally turned around with your logic this disrespect is "pro-American"
    Those who support racist, murdering cops are the ones 'turning their backs on the country'.

    Late to the game? You really haven't been paying attention.

    No. You don't get to choose which issues are worth addressing. You're probably too young to remember the Vietnam war protests.

    You kneel to the English monarch in submission every day, as your craven conquered forebears have for centuries.

    America, on the other hand, threw off the English yoke.

    You aren't English, and never will be. You're a serf.

    Did liberals always endorse a football player's right to kneel?

    Well, she is your queen, whether you like it or not.
