  1. Not really, it's more matter of skin tone. This isn't 1950. Things are very different, laws are on the books etc. The past cannot be changed. Some perspectives will never be changed either. But there is only one truth, one reality. You'd think the US was under apartheid in the world according to Kaep.

    I do think your skin tone influences your experiences and perspective...

     

    It may not be the 1950's any longer but obviously there is still a large percentage of people of color that feel things haven't progressed enough.

  2. What are you talking about? Intended to oppress??? Thats not what I wrote. Re-read. I wrote intended to offend. Again, this is obvious. Just read this thread or watch the news if you need examples.

    I edited my post, I meant to write offend.

     

    And as the quote from Kap stated, the origins of the protest weren't to offend...it was Kap refusing to show pride in a flag. People chose to be offended.

  3. The protests started over a year before the presidents comments. The method has long been established. It has been chosen because it offends people and therefore gets attention. I don’t really see how this can even be debated, tbh.

    "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."

     

    You keep harping on the act of protesting the anthem by kneeling as being intended to offend people, the above quote from Kap seems to disprove that.
