    I see whites are on their usual cognitive dissonance bullshit.

    Is this guy even African American? He looks like an Arab, to me.

    sorry, you've lost the privilege of debating with me until you can show me you are worthy of my time by demonstrating your ability to act like a grownup. i have no interest in conversing with someone who can't act like a civilized human being. meantime, i graciously accept your concession.

    Good for Nike. If rednecks and white trash can alter the flag any way
    they see fit to celebrate white power, and display it on their big angry (way too
    loud) pickup trucks, then Americans like Kapernick should be allowed to protest any way they want to.

    it's so woke and revolutionary and down with the struggle of oppressed people everywhere to be the highly paid endorser of a corporation that puts its products together with sweatshop labor in Indonesia, China, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Phillipines, Taiwan, Thailand....well, pretty much everywhere but America.

    i don't think racism is appreciated (or allowed) on the board.

    That doesn’t stop other posters from making threads. Anyway, I can tell you it’s not black folks burning their Nikes in an attempt to “boycott.”

    He’s half white. But it’s irrelevant.

    Privilege? You make claims and rash assumptions, and debating you is a privilege?

    My concession?

    I concede nothing. You haven't even made an argument.

    Once you have the ghost of a point to make I'll pay attention. Otherwise, go post elsewhere. Last thing we need here is another regurgitated talking point from some know it all trying to apply "rules" of their own devices to a ****ing net board.

    Totes! Nearly as woke and revolutionary as being an underemployed SJW, talking about poverty and oppression over a soy latte. Before returning to your fridge full of food and on tap clean drinking water, in your oversized climate controlled apartment, in your obscenely rich, safe and free nation.

    No disagreement about Trump, but showing disrespect for the flag or our national anthem, while legal, is not "perfectly acceptable" to most Americans...well, outside of California, that is. :)

    Of course, it depend on who you ask: https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...t-the-nfl-protests-it-depends-on-how-you-ask/

    If you want to dig into this deeper; did Obama heal racial divides or stick a wedge in them?

    Yes because this hyper bigoted and racist nation elected Barack Obama twice . . . for . . . giggles.

    oh? "i" made up the rules of debate? i can assure you i did not invent the ad hominem fallacy. it's been around for a LONG time. perhaps you've heard of this language called latin?

    I don't give a damn about his opinion even though it's wrong, I don't like the way he expresses it. We tune in to watch a football game not a bunch of over paid jerks protest police officers doing their jobs.

    You are applying fake ass rules to the internet. Where the hell have you been for all these years?

    It's a ****ing Coliseum here.

    Post your argument or block me. I dont have time to listen to you prattle on and on for no reason.

    OK.

    Did you miss the

    "to figure out the marketing and business strategy here".

    Black males make up about 6% of the population and young black males about half that and are the least employed thus the lowest of income earners. 54% of the general population do not support the taking the kneel. So maybe you can figure out the marketing and business strategy here and explain it.
