Kaep

[Joe Bagadonuts]

The only thing that matters is the message. The Seahawks wouldn't have done what they did had Kaep not protested in the first place. Do u think minority's look at the Seahawks with more admiration because they stood and didn't sit?! Kaep did exactly what he needed to do to get his message across. Nothing Kaep did should be considered offensive or wrong. Now, if he said the military was bad then it would be wrong.

He said the police are bad. He said Hillary is bad. Those statements are okay but criticizing the military is not?

To me or Thee Jazz Fan?

Anyone. It is a response to TJF stating that you'd know something wasn't disrespectful if you knew about the Constitution.

Oh, so we are on the same page again.

All I'm saying is that minorities don't care how we feel about what Kaep is doing because they are the ones that live with inequality and injustice. When one nation under God means the same for all in this nation then we can criticize a none violent protest.

One nation under God will never mean the same for all in this nation or any other. That's a fact.

So now that black people are protesting in a way that doesn't offend you, I ask you what some have asked here of those taking a stand.

What the **** are you going to do about the issue of police brutality and inequality?

I'll respond for you.

Nothing.

Because you only care when people shed light on your ******** and as soon as you can can come terms you drop it. Good for you.

Who is the "you" in this conversation you appear to be having with yourself?

This is an interesting point. I feel like his protest has done a great job of drawing attention, but not really any of that attention is going where he wanted it to.

He's basically saying the collective majority wants these protests to be unseen and unheard so they don't have to think about it or act on it and go on with life as if nothing happened.

If they wanted them unseen and unheard they wouldn't be talking about them. The protest is getting massive attention. As far as I can tell, though, it's not really doing much to solve any underlying problem. I hope that next time one of these protestors explains what they are protesting they will give us the stats and tell us what they believe ought to be done rather than just speaking in generalities.

And they're not, instead talking about the matter of protest.

Give stats...Are you being serious. What protest on a scale as large as this base themselves in statistics. Were the civil rights protests in the 60s explicit in the statistics to explain why they're protesting? History is and will be read on the generalities of organized protest, discrimination in the 60s, Vietnam War in the 70s, the tea party protests and the Occupy protests in the '00s. Protests are never about stats.

Seems pretty tough to solve a problem if you can't say what it is. Of the protests you mentioned the most successful ones knew what they were trying to accomplish.
