When is the right time to protest injustice and oppression? Should it be peaceful? Should it be silent? Where should the protests be held? How do you do it without pissing off the majority of white America? How do you get the majority white America to be supportive of your cause?

It's 2017 but JORR and MANY others are still making the tired arguments that have been made for decades. There will never be a time where the majority of white America will be sympathetic to any cause that doesn't involve them. People can tie themselves in knots trying to explain how or why this protest is being done improperly but the same will be true for every future protest.

I'm not making any argument at all. I'm just pointing out that MANY people don't like guys kneeling for the anthem. Do they have that right?

Personally, I'm perplexed that the "Listen, white people..." and "It's time white people...." strategies haven't been unqualified successes in mobilizing white voters.

Pretty please hasn't exactly been effective either. Anything short of saying things are perfect will likely be ignored or have some propaganda created to attack it. If there is a solution that will get the majority of white America on board I am willing to listen.

As far as I'm aware, folks have a right to their own personal opinions, however stupid they may be.

As far as I'm aware, folks do not have a right to their own personal "facts".

Framing this protest as someone not loving the flag .... really? What sane person loves the flag? I love desk ... I love, ... lamp ... I love flag.

Framing this protest as ANYTHING to do with the military and that whole line of bullshit is just that ... bullshit.

Unfortunately, strident, prideful ignorance reigns supreme these days - purposeful or otherwise.

You're not but you are. The majority of white America has a right to feel however they want to feel. Reality is there will NEVER be a cause that doesn't involve them that they will be supportive of. The complaints about every protest is just bullshit in the end.

Now you're going to tell me what I'm saying. I'm not sure what "white America" is, but it seems like language specifically designed to be divisive.

If you're going to take the posture that as a black American you see the United States as an illegitimate entity built on slavery that deserves zero respect so fuck that fucking flag, I can find such a position understandable. But if that's the case, what is the answer? Do you want to disband the Union? Break the USA? Kill me because I'm white?

And Snopes has that as false. I know, I know...liberal slant.

This post here tells me everything I ever need to know about what you think and what's in your heart.

Do the veterans that kneel also hate veterans and the flag? Do you find the support of this cause by those black and white men and women understandable? Do you always see attempts by those who want to make positive change as a threat to your life and OUR country?
