But Malcolm should not be raising his fist either. I don't condone THAT action one bit. Again, that is divisive.

Some protestors do meet with police. Others spend their time working with their communities.

Here's Brandon Marshall's protest in Denver leading to change:

Hey and looky, no one is taking issue with that.

Anthony Brown wants to take down the Robert E. Lee statue at the Antietam Battlefield now. I don't agree with that. Does that make me a White Supremacist too?

I wouldn't assum that you are; it would depend on why you don't agree with it.

No one took issue? Seems to me the president takes issue with any protest. He called any NFL player exercising their right as an American to protest a son of a bitch and insisted their team owners get rid of them.

That includes Marshall, who protested and affected positive change.

Maybe if there was more positive change, there would be less need to protest...

Well guess what, many fans who are upset are going to disrespect the flag and anthem themselves by booing during it. You already heard it this past weekend.

I have been told here that booing is less disrespectful than the silent kneeling...

You also heard that ideally the booing of the players would occur after the kneeling. But of course that doesn't matter to you.
Unity.

You march with people chanting Nazi slogans? You are the company you keep in this situation. And you are not a very fine person.

Don't misconstrue me to be saying people don't have a right to free speech. Personally I prefer when people admit to being neo-Nazis and white supremacists. I wish they didn't exist. But I'd rather know someone is a piece of shit when they are one.

Is there also a statue of McLellan? I mean a statue of a general at a battlefield that led one side makes sense, especially if both sides are represented. A statue of a general for a rebellious country in the center of a town does not.
