      Exactly!!! Like advocating freedom of speech to express yourself there in that video with an oppressive symbol is allowed, agreeable, and understandable, but not for this instance discussed in this video?
      You can hide behind an old flag and the support that you know you'd get from other like-minded alongside you, but what Colin Kaepernick did was brave because it was new and highly relevant. And though being widely supported wasn't guaranteed, he didn't let this stop him from expressing his truths and using this as a platform to create space for a new discussion. "Democracy is hypocrisy (Malcolm X)." Still true to this day. The difference between this video from the one about the confederate flag is that the students advocating for it don't have a strong connection or belief in it, but the kneeling to Kaepernick had meant so much more to him, making it that much more powerful.

When a white person walks into a black owned business and doesn’t feel welcome, well tbh I don’t really care bc they have every right too. A white person being treated unfairly due to race is veryyy unlikely and when you experience that then I’m glad for you because you get to experience what it’s like to be African American every single day.

    • @RedToons1
      @RedToons1 4 роки тому +2

      @Fjj I dont know why you keep arguing that this form of protest disrespects the military and its veterans. Kaepernick got a lot of support from military personnel not because they agreed with his messages necessarily, but because they respect his right to protest. In fact, as others have pointed out, the kneeling element was a suggestion by a veteran, since taking a knee is something that is done in the military.
      You've also tried to separate history for some reason as if slavery, segregation, and the overall bigotry experienced by black Americans is somehow the fault of the south. America is one country with one history - you don't see Germany not taking responsibility for nazis or trying to argue that that was just Hitler and not Germany itself. You're allowed to love the US and be patriotic, but people who recognize an issue within a country and try to bring attention to it and change it are just as patriotic and you should not fault them for their actions.
      The constitution may have been written over 300 years ago, but its only been in the last 50 years that black people have seen some sort of equality in America. And even then, it hasn't been great. So just because he's protesting and people are agreeing with it does not make them ungrateful or unAmerican or automatically mean that they don't recognize the sacrifices of the military

What a meant when I said I felt bad was that it must be frustrating. Both you and I know that the kneeling protest has nothing to do with the flag and our troops. And so do all non whites who have experienced any sort of discrimination. So when people are ignorant to that I’m sure it frustrates you just as much as me. Because then the whole point of the protest gets nullified under a different conversation. That’s what I meant. Also, thanks for not just throwing curse words at me as most people in the comments tend to do.

He explained that when he lost a soldier during his deployments, him and other soldiers would kneel to honor his sacrifice.

    For the kids who were saying that the national anthem is the one thing that “unifies” us, was there ever unity if there was a huge amount of oppression?

      I feel like he's shy about speaking up this time. He didn't have the same passion that he had before. The teacher seems to like to make a joke our of him, but you could already tell from the confederate flag video that his classmates don't respect him. I feel like he probably got bullied at school when the cameras were of and didn't want to draw attention to himself.
