Easy answer to NFL players kneeling "controversy".

[Solly Mack]

4. No. It's a peaceful protest. They shouldn't be attacked or punished for it.

What people should do is to start thinking about what is being protested - police brutality against POC.

Instead of mindlessly embracing symbols & words over actually living up to the ideas of justice, equality, freedom, liberty.

If protests against police brutality of POC makes a person uncomfortable or angry, then the problems is with the people getting their panties in a wad - not the protests.

A lot of football players are famous and have a name - and they are using that fame for good.

No different than any well known person doing the same.

And it is a common practice to get well known people to speak out against injustices.

They have a larger audience and the message gets out.

The only problem now is some white people getting offended.

And to that I say - So?


White people who feel the need to turn the protest into something it isn't. White people who feel the need to take a truth - racism in America - and turn a protest against that racism into an attack on them as white people - which they equate with the whole of America (as if America and white were synonymous).

Well, if the white hood fits - wear it.

What should offend them is police brutality against POC.

Not the actions to stop it.

Their anger at a peaceful protest lets the rest of us know just what kind of person they are - and it ain't good.
