National Anthem Protests

National Anthem Protests - thenewamerican.com

Excerpt from this article:

"In fact, while the controversy has centered on the playing of 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' it has been somewhat overlooked that Kaepernick’s problem is really with the entire country. Kaepernick was alluding to incidents in which black criminal suspects have been shot by police officers — particularly white officers — such as the situation in Ferguson, Missouri, where a white officer had shot a young black man who was allegedly surrendering with his arms up in the air while pleading, 'Don’t shoot!'— giving birth to the 'Hands up, don’t shoot!' mantra used in protests after the event. A grand jury refused to indict the white officer when multiple witnesses — almost all African-American — and forensic evidence disputed that claim, as did a U.S. Justice Department report.
The reality is that 93 percent of black homicide victims are murdered by other blacks, and most of the rest are killed by Hispanics."

What Would Happened if Kaepernick Had Prayed Rather Than Protested?

What Would Happened if Kaepernick Had Prayed Rather Than Protested? - cnsnews.com 

Excerpt from this article:

"To Mr. Kaepernick’s credit, it is not a very popular move to thumb one’s nose at one’s country.  While I think Kaepernick is a useful idiot for race-hustling profiteers, he knows the NFL fears matters of race, and it is too spineless to put country ahead of color or patriotism ahead of profits.  He’s forcing them to eat his crap sandwich as an appetizer to a plate of profits. If you want to see how the NFL values First Amendment rights differently based on fear and profit ask yourself this: Why would a league fine players for saluting and giving tribute to the fallen on 9/11, but stay silent on a protest that attacks the character of America?"
