Full Title :Why Malcolm Jenkins, other Philadelphia Eagles demonstrate -- but don't kneel -- during anthems
This article is from Sept of 2017 and it has an interesting tweet from Trump.
Great solidarity for our National Anthem and for our Country. Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable. Bad ratings!
- Donald J. Trump

I’d like to know what neighborhoods these rich brothers live in.

“We want to be that vehicle to change”. Right. Because everyone watches football to see what social injustice cause will be highlighted on the sidelines before the game starts. Sheesh.

"I want my demonstration to be effective and received."

In what way is this "effective"? It simply makes you look juvenile and hostile for no good reason.

Protest all you want, on your own time.
Once you enter the stadium, you are on company time.
No one wants to see you kneel or raise a fist.

I'd always love to hear their opinions about what's going on in our communities...

No, you really don't want to hear other opinions, especially if they are honest. You have a problem in your communities and the police presence there is the result of those problems, not the cause of it. 72% of your children are born out of wedlock and raised without the guidance of a father. Your school dropout rate is 4 times the non-minority average, despite higher expenditures/student than non-minority schools. You claim racism as the root cause of all your problems, but you have problems in your communities that you don't even attempt to address. You are as racist...perhaps more so...than your white counterparts. Who runs the greater risk: A black man whose car breaks down in a white neighborhood, or a white man whose car breaks down in a black neighborhood?

My advice: start cleaning up your own backyard before you so quickly blame others for not cleaning it up for you. Four trillion dollars on the War on Poverty and 47% of you are on some form of welfare. My feeling: Until we see positive change on your own, why should we throw more money at a problem that is only getting worse?

They have unfortunately bought into the “Hands up, don’t shoot” lie. Because of the lying enemedia, they believe that innocent blacks are being shot down by racist police every day. If they’d do a bit of research they’d discover that nearly all police shootings are of criminals, in self defense, and that over 90% of blacks shot are shot by other blacks!

And when there is an unjustified shooting, the cops do face consequences.

raising a fist isn’t any better, maybe even worse. It’s a black power symbol being displayed for the anthem.

there are plenty of countries where there are no white cops why don’t the malcontents go live in one of them?
