like I Said

I respect PEOPLE


I do not have an idea how to respect items, and things,, but I am conscience of not being disruptive(a type of disrespect) , or vulgar

and so its fine , keep insisting how important it is to respect a flag while posting disrespectful things about people

just remember


respect has nothing to do with whether we agree, but how we disagree,, think about it

thats true

but people who claim to love America should refrain from the hypocrisy of decrying the great American 'right' to opt out of a pledge

My dad died when I was 7 and a long history of military. My step dad is retired ft worth cop anf many cop friends still active. If someone thinks it's only a flag...that is their right. My right is to feel disrespected by those whining black oppression while earning millions of dollars from that oppression. I have never owned a slave. Even going through genealogy, none of my family has. But boo hoo to those that cling to history when their own country sold them (but don't speak about that)

Btw....England, France and Spain brought slaves here....go after them

ok, onto another totally unrelated topic

lol



if only the oppressed complained about oppression nothing would change

I greatly respect those who aren't oppressed themselves speaking up for those who are

as far as slavery, if we live in America, whats relevant to us is how AMERICA Treated us,,

if we lived in England, france, or spain, I suppose we would be more concerned with THEIR History of treatment

but that's not so,,,

here is the thing though kindle, unless he signed to entertain by pledging that has nothing to do with it

entertainers are citizens too, and if there is a public custom that happens to take place BEFORE They do their entertaining, I don't agree that their job has anything to do with feeling like they HAVE to participate

to not be disruptive,, yes,,
to HAVE to participate,, no

as said many times, I could get on board the 'how dare he' movement if he chose that time to streak or give the middle finger or an actual disrespectful action,,, kneeling is how we pray, its nothing inherently disrespectful about that action,,,

thats true

...I do believe its not mandatory that they stand in the contract... I read that somewhere...and personally I don't care if they choose to sit through it.. It's the reasoning behind the action... This kid is standing out of pride and respect for a country that allows us far more freedoms than most...the millionaire is sitting because he is supporting a movement that is stirring hate towards law enforcement..he did it to illustrate disrespect to the country he obviously enjoys the freedom he is gifted with...it was his intention to be disrespectful...the kid standing stood to show respect ...all I am saying is it is tradition to praise this beautiful country through song and color...it may not be mandatory ..but when you're paid millions to entertain you should show respect to the country that gifted you with the opportunity to be that rich doing what you love...

The whole reason for the protest is Kaepernick whining about oppression while earning millions a season himself. The flag has little to do with a few bad cops

its not up to me to decide what the flag 'has to do with' for someone else

its an American flag, I imagine its reasonable for it to mean EVERYTHING and ANYTHING happening in Ameica

understood


I just find it inconsistent, which is a thing I have ,, but that's my deal
