In light of the Nike / Kapernick, NFL players, celebrity, city council woman in New England somewhere,... kneeling whenever the National Anthem is played "TO PROTEST' against the way our nation's black people are treated by the police, Have you ever once asked yourself; How / what are these people doing about it when they are not seen? Not on tv? Not making public spectacle of themselves when the cameras are on? I have yet once to hear about any other than Kapernick himself talk about his reason to kneel outside of the football stadium. Mostly because he's not on the field anymore, but still - what about all those who act as though this is their Alamo moment as well? Are they campaigning, sponsoring awareness drives, discussing the conduct of the police departments WITH the police officials? I am not aware of any. I do not believe that there is "no" issue either. I fully believe that there are corrupt men and women on many of today's police forces that are all too willing to over extend their reach of "law" and do things that are blatantly oppressive against all races, social persuasions, and all manners of financial status, just because they think they can. But I do not support making a stand claiming that all police personnel nor forces are of this level of disreputable behavior. But the kneelers seem to want you and I to believe that all are against the black race only. That is the message that keeps being broadcast, and it needs to end. I'm fairly certain that the Latino community would have as big if not bigger grievance to promote than the black people alone do. But there are not very many Latino football players. I wonder if there were and they knelt if there would be as much of an uproar. Are these same kneelers willing to have meetings and dialogue with the police forces and work for a better understanding and solution to the unrest. For some reason I am doubtful that many of them would be. But doing what they have been doing does NOT solve anything.
