And lol @ Trump applauding NASCAR for this ? . It literally means nothing for them to say that. They are a sport by and for Rednecks. I'm pretty sure kneeling in support of a black cause was never going to be an issue for them.
yall think ill get my ass beat if i go back to charlotte and kneel with a dale jr shirt on during the next race? -

I agree to some extent, but you also have to allow room for people to admit wrong and get on the right side. They got called SoBs by the President. That's a "straw that broke the camel's back" type scenario for some people. I think it's reasonable to say that it should have taken that long for them to take a stand, but you shouldn't really bash them once they've decided to do so.
Everything people are saying about Ray Lewis is right though. At this point it doesn't matter what he does. If he had twelve legs and took twelve knees, he'd still be a ? ? .
so ? people that look like me. i can stand for......but call me a son of a ? is the straw?
we done took 1000 steps backwards -

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/stuart-varney-nfl-players-are-biting-the-hand-that-feeds-them/Stuart Varney: NFL Players ‘Are Biting the Hand That Feeds Them’
Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney took aim Monday morning at NFL players protesting police brutality by kneeling during the pre-game national anthem.
“A sporting event is not the place for politics,” Varney declared in his opener (one wonders what the anchor thinks of John Carlos and Tommie Smith).
“And it is certainly not the place to disrespect our flag and the anthem,” the naturalized American continued, before reading a tweet from President Donald Trump that claimed the “issue of kneeling is not about race.”
“I think he’s right,” Varney said. “How many millions of people just want to watch football and intensely annoyed when the left turns a game into a divisive show of disrespect?”
And then, Varney adopted the frequently deployed argument that NFL players should just be grateful for what they have, phrasing the point…curiously:
“The players are biting hand that feeds them,” he said. “They are hurting the sport that feeds them.”
Varney did then break with Trump, however, claiming that “the president was wrong to use inflammatory language,” when he referred to a player taking the knee as a “son of a ? ” in a Friday night rally.
Varney’s problem with Trump’s rhetoric? “It turned players into First Amendment martyrs.”
The Fox Business anchor wrapped up his opener by complaining that “everything is political these days,” before launching into his three hour politics talk show.
Another Faux News anchor appealing to their white supremacist audience.. Only thing missing from his rant was the phrase “uppity negroes”.. I’m surprised he couldn’t work that in there his audience would’ve loved it... -

He clapping at Ray Lewis, shady McCoy, the NFL, and the owners. The league is missing the point about the racism and unarmed killings of Blacks in this country
They not missing the point. They know exactly what the point is and has been. Its just that most folks can't admit to themselves that these people really don't ? care.
All Goodell ever talks about is the nfl's brand, shield and its image. The ? most of these players and owners pulled yesterday was all about the nfl's image and brand. ? ain't have a got damn thing to do with racism, white supremacy or police brutality.
That ? was nothing more than a fake ass see we care photo op.
my problem is PEOPLE WHO ALLOW THESE FUKKING DISTRACTIONS!!!!!!
kap clearly said what its about
they know what its about
they are making it mean something else....an ? running scared.
no bossa.....meez no disrezpek yo flag.
aint about the flag ......never was
never about marines
wait...how about these same people whos parents didnt accept the blacks coming from war....
was that disrespecting the flag and what they fought for?
? got trolled into not even wanting to protest.

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-evangelical-adviser-plays-? -card-on-anthem-protests-jesus-said-to-respect-government/Trump Evangelical Adviser Plays ? Card on Anthem Protests: Jesus Said to ‘Respect’ Government
President Donald Trump’s evangelical adviser Robert Jeffress seems to have a walkie-talkie to ? — the megachurch pastor has weighed-in on behalf of the Lord when discussing nuking North Korea, deporting undocumented immigrants, and now, respecting the national anthem.
While appearing on Fox News — where he’s a paid contributor — Jeffress claimed Jesus disagrees with NFL players who protest the national anthem, as He would tell them to “respect” the government.
Jeffress’ full comments came during a Fox & Friends segment where he paraphrased the Bible verse Matthew 22:21:
“Many of these players claim to be strong Christians, and I believe they are, and I think they ought to remember what Jesus said. Jesus said render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto ? the things that are ? ’s. We have a responsibility toward our government. We owe our government, not just our taxes, but our respect and our prayers — and I think that needs to be kept in mind in all of this discussion.”
The Southern Baptist preacher also said that he believes these players are “absolutely wrong,” adding that he thinks “tens of millions” of Americans agree with Trump’s comments on national anthem protesters — comments where the president called pro-athletes SOBs and demanded they lose their jobs.
Additionally, Jeffress stressed that Trump “is not a racist” — a customary phrase whenever the president’s surrogates appear on cable news. “This is not about race, it’s about respect of country,” insisted Jeffress.
The white man using the white man’s religion to justify the mistreatment of black folks.. That’s the AmeriKKKa way... -

Hard for so many to get on code when they don't have one.

What's fascinating to me is how Jerry Jones of the Cowboys made clear to the team that NONE of them are to even think of kneeling during the anthem and they all obeyed. How you have millions of dollars but no power?

Thats a false code to but on to what i wanted to say
White people think that politics is seasonal.. Politics is everyday and affects all like White Supremacy
"apolitical" is a myth if you exist you participate..whether you know it or not.. im not just talking about the ballot -
Black folks just need to continue reading through the rhetoric of these racists. white's continue to talk about our american ancestors being disrespected. Again, this is code for bowing down to whites, accepting their culture, traditions and definitions of patriotism. When the FACT of the matter is, BLACK AMERICAN ancestry is littered with activists who fought against, slavery, racism, police brutality, educational and financial inequality.
whites are telling Blacks to say forget and ? off to, Harriet Tubman, Jack Johnson, Paul Roberson, Nat Turner, Muhammed Ali, Malcolm, Martin, Evers, Douglass, Garvey etc etc. They are telling us to disrespect our Black ancestors and Embrace racist Slave owners, white supremacists, traitors, murderers, and rapists. whites will never accept\respect our ancestors so, there's no reason why we should respect theirs. -

Black people are (slowly) seeing things for what they are Trump's presidency is causing this....
Phase 1 is close to being complete. Phase 2 is the politicians actually doing things for black people in order to get the black vote, no more dance a jig that's not enough anymore. Trump's presidency is doing exactly what it needed to do for black people and it's waking us up. -

Truthfully IMO that remains to be seen.
For the 2nd part. Better late than never but a black person would have to have been willfully ignorant to not feel a way and notice all this ? until trump got in office. -
