[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3130476, member: 24302"] I've frequently seen commentators on FOX say of course they have the right to protest. No one is taking away their right to. It's a matter of whether they should and if it's the appropriate place to do so. Kaepernick started this but it's an offshoot of the "Stop, don't shoot" movement that a number of NFL players participated in before Kaepernick ever sat or took a knee. Michael Brown didn't get executed on his knees, and Blacks have a lot more to be worried about from their own brethren than from White America. But things have been twisted so now we all are confronted with the spectacle of Blacks believing they must confront White America and it's injustice. It's to the point average Whites feel frustrated because they feel an honest effort has been and is being made to address past wrongs. And that Blacks who don't address the violence, drugs, poverty in their own communities but shift the blame on Whites for everything are never going to break out of this vicious cycle. As the old saying goes, God helps those who help themselves. [/QUOTE]
