Kneeling could be respect or it could be submission to the flag. Howeveer, the stated reasons are other than that and not respectable or relevant to the Flag and patriotism.

Let's say a bunch of us went to a National Association of Black Journalists meeting - and our 'intent' was to make them AWARE of our 'feelings' - that 'the black community' MUST take responsibility for the problems in their own communities.

So far so good.

We know we have to 'get their attention' in a way it'll be covered - covered so all members of the black community will hear what WE have to say', So, DURING THEIR OPENING COMMENTS WE YELL, "WAKE UP STUPID NIGGERS'.

Our 'scream out' would be perceived as 'offensive' and hopefully the bimbos at MSNBC would rush to the cameras to declare their belief in 'free speech' under the Constitution.

But, would we be able to pretend we were unaware of how offensive our actions were - even after being told for months that it was offensive? I don't think so - our excuses would not be believed. And the excuses of these players should not be accepted either.

We know when someone is giving us the finger - just like they know when they're doing it to us. Scott Rasmussen would hold us accountable and he should hold the NFL players accountable.
