One hundred eighty years ago, in this nation, black men took a knee to show subserviance to their masters, Wondering how many NFL players today know this.

"By bending a knee to protest racial injustice, they’ve electrified liberals and progressives, forged new bonds between team owners and players, elevated the sport beyond a mere game and exposed yet another ugly side of Donald Trump."

Epic cognitive dissonance.

“The Republican Party is no longer the party of John McCain, Susan Collins and John Kasich, nor even of the flawed George W. Bush”

When was this?

How about the left actually teach it’s own the importance of manners? Maybe they might be respected by more people.

And that line is exactly why we elected President Trump - to keep folks who think that line is a bad thing from further ruining this Nation.....

Blacks are slaughtering blacks at a rate orders of magnitude greater than any lynch parties ever even dreamed of but the evil stupid honky is the evil stupid honky and he should pay us millions of dollars to listen to us call him the evil stupid honky. Yeah, good luck with that.

How about “taking a knee” for getting a job, supporting your kids, staying crime and drug free, becoming and staying a productive member of society?

Whining bunch of ungrateful pansies. “Better to light one candle that curse the dark.”

Think about it...if you have the ability.

The writer states “Racism and slavery are indeed America’s original sin, full stop. Discrimination remains pervasive. America is still haunted by wide racial gaps in income and wealth, in sentencing and imprisonment, even in life expectancy.”

Fundamentally, the left incorrectly identifies the cause of the problem.

“asking their country to live up to its promises”

That’s not what they’re doing, but never mind.

Don’t they owe us examples of what ‘promises’ this country hasn’t lived up to? Instead, we get more of the same elusive demands of ‘change.’

If they want to peaceably protest, they can do as the rest of us do and get a permit. None of us have the privilege of protesting on the job and getting away with it.

Maybe they could protest by purchasing ads during their games and see how that goes.

Coates is a racist blinded by the light; Hillary would too have been white, no? Really the DNC and their radicals have overstepped their mandate from heaven to give the devil his due; the devil is calling in the Obama marker and all the racist BS from the left cannot hide the corruption of the first black president,,, which is going to come out and tarnish the Marxists reputation along the reputations of all Marxtists.

“...but Trump is the first president elected precisely because he is white. Trump is white America’s reply to the Obama presidency.”

Would this statement have been made had Clinton won? Does woman trump white? Hard to keep the victim groups straight without a program.
