Since Friday, the liberal media had been foaming at the mouth after President Trump made a series of comments arguing that athletes who disrespected the American flag by kneeling should be either fired or suspended. Come Sunday, two of the Big Three Networks (ABC and NBC) were eager to smear the President with claims of racism and assertions that he on the wrong side of the issue.
“And of course, all of this is playing out against the backdrop of a new ABC News/Washington Post poll showing 66 percent of Americans say that Donald Trump has done more to divide this country,” announced ABC Co-Anchor Paula Faris at the start of Good Morning America.
As the anchors handed the report off to White House Correspondent Mary Bruce, the reporter snidely remarked that “over the last 24 hours, he's added fuel to the fierce debate in the country over race, intolerance, politics, and sports.” “Now, he's again inserting himself into the debate over race in America,” she sneered.
Part way through the 10 minutes dedicated to the topic of Trump’s comments on kneeling, ABC Co-Anchor Dan Harris brought the discussion to racism. “Ryan, it's hard to ignore the racial component here. The President went on this jag on Friday night in front of a largely white audience,” he told ESPN reporter Ryan Smith, who helped push Harris’ accusation:
"Well, I think there's a lot of talk now about coded language. You think about what he said. Disrespecting “OUR” heritage. “WE,” to that largely white crowd. I think there’s a lot of folks out there and look at this and say: “What are you really trying to say here? When you talk about if somebody doesn't do what I think they should be fired. If they're speaking a point of view, peacefully protesting, they should be fired?”"
“So I think a lot of people today are responding to the idea of his coded language,” Smith added. “Not too long ago, he was respecting the opinions of others in Charlottesville that many people felt were using very divisive terms. Holding different items that were very scary for many people.”

“I am so freaking angry!!”
ME TOO!!
Rush has opined a couple of times that, if aliens were monitoring only the media and Hollywood, they would be convinced that half of the human race on Earth is black and the other half is gay
Only the start of a full-court press in the media. This thing blew up on them and they can’t believe what they’re seeing. Lots of masks being dropped at the moment and what’s behind them is very ugly and hateful.
I votet for trump to keep two time failed presidential candidate hillary out of the cat bird seat he has surpassed my expectation on a un fatomable measure
The Left has overplayed the race card so severely and frequently that they have become an running joke.
Nobody—not even many Democrats—believes their lies anymore. The only people who believe such tripe are living in bubbles in their big cities and coastal enclaves. The vast remainder of the populace sees exactly what is happening.
Everyone needs to keep their powder dry, boycott those who disrespect the flag—such as the NFL—and make sure they vote in 2018 and beyond.
Aside from that, the People need to prepare for War. Because the Left is going to get the civil war they've been fomenting—but it's not going to turn out the way they're expecting...
Kaepernick made it about race the moment he took a knee.
The only thing I can say about the news media is:
WHAT A BUNCH OF F#CKEN IDIOTS.
Kinda harsh, pal.
and I like it.
Looks like Prez Trump once again baited the media.
In the last few hours, every pic taken of the protesters, and shown on national news outlets, has shown a majority of those taking a knee were black. If the news services only show pics of black players taking a knee, it is they, that are inserting race into the issue.
Racially coded rhetoric?
Are they talking about Kaepernick? Or all the bruthas taking a knee?
Or the millions of babies cruelly murdered in abortion mills. Encouraged by Liberals. Talk about racism.
Democrat Party - founded on racism, fostered racism and continues its racist past. The list of racist Democrats is unending: Jackson, McClellan, Pulitzer & Hearst, Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Gore, Byrd, etc.
Oh, they’ve got an agenda. It’s just they know America has already rejected Marxism, so they have to hide their agenda.
It used to work. People just don't care anymore.
Seems liberals/leftist love to site imaginary 'codes' to support their outrageous theories. How many of them think The Da Vinci Code is truth?
“Kaepernick made it about race the moment he took a knee.”
Kaepernick brought out an attitude and behavior which has been in the shadows - existed but not clearly identified.
I loathed the movie “Remember the Titans” which was based on a high school football team during desegregation. I noted that for the newly desegregated team to become a ‘unified team’ the whites took on the black teammates interests and taste in music. In other words, the whites began the process of acting black. I did not observe any blacks in the movie acting white.
As a teacher I clearly saw this happening (during the 1990’s) to the high school basketball team where I taught. To become a winning team with black & white players, the key white members began to act black.
The coach asked for exceptions to standard procedure for student disruption(s) in the classroom w/o ever demanding improvement of behavior for his (black) athletes. Yes, football coaches asked for the same BUT put ultimatums on the player to improve in the classroom. The BB coach did not place higher expectations on his player(s).
Even the white players speech changed. I really do not think the speech change was intentional but the dress change was purposeful. If a white player was uncomfortable, I clearly worked to fit in.
What was so clearly obvious to me was not visible to anyone else until I pointed it out.
In basketball black culture is dominant and has been since the 1990’s or before. Professional football is not in the midst of a cultural war which has been made obvious with CK and Obama’s race war.
BTW, Trump has pointed out what is going on in the NFL but the desire is spread this throughout every nook and cranny of American society.
What Trump really needs to say is the Flag and Country is greater than any one man who is President and any issue in this country. A refusal to stand for the flag is not disrespecting the President, it is disrespecting Freedom for which this country has fought many wars to defend.
Tim Tebow: Kneeling bad.
Black players: Kneeling good.
Q for the network enablers: Who’s the racist...?
“...every pic taken of the protesters... has shown a majority of those taking a knee were black...”
this is really about forcing black culture to become the dominant culture in football and forcing “apple pie red, white and blue” American society to embrace it. (see commit 57)
The inferiorists black jock subculture are showing to all why they don’t measure up.
