Showing Original Post only (View all)What I find so frustrating about the NFL players "taking a knee" [View all]
What really frustrates me is people, including the Don the Con, who continue to push the phony meme that this is about "disrespecting the flag, the military, and the country".
Colin Kaepernick said from the beginning what this is about. Unarmed people of color being gunned down in the streets by law enforcement with no justice and the damage of institutionalized racism overall.
Yet we still have millions in this country who can't, or refuse to think.

I expect nothing else from the PGIC. He is a less than slime. At least it has its uses.
