Lol, I give you that one.  We all basically look at anything the way we would do it.  

I appreciate the sudden greater specificity. The less ambiguity, the better...

I had something of a suspicion that he hasn't played for a long time. This info wasn't very relevant to me when I first posted in this thread.

Has he indicated that he would stop kneeling if he were able to get back on the field?

Assume you will have to be it out in public or on the internet.

Let's not pretend left-leaning media is not itself also capable of misleading.

How do you know when someone just wants to be mad?

Kaepernick a modern day civil rights leader and relatable to the people on social media. Serena Williams is a modern day Rosa Parks.

What it appears is that you are really not educated on the issue at all.  Not sure where you get your information or even if you care but it seems that the only thing I really got from you is that you do not support Kap kneeling.  What exactly about him kneeling that you do not like.  IS there anything specifically stating that kneeling during the anthem is unpatriotic or un American or whatever.  Until this whole thing started, I wonder if people were upset because others made an issue of it more than anything written.  In other words, if the same people changed their view (FOX) would people who do not support this non-violent action would have a different perspective.

You would know the problem I have with Kaep's kneeling if you would have read through my posts in this thread. I will save you the trouble by saying simply:

A kneeling gesture is ambiguous and facilitates misunderstanding. Just listen to one of SpokenTruth's own complaints earlier in this thread:

"the majority of people that have lashed out at Kaepernick have no idea that was the reason and they simply attribute it to protesting the flag and the anthem."

I suggest Kaep wear a shirt next time with his grievances clear in writing.

...I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here...

The problem with Kap isn't even that he's disrespecting the flag or anthem or Country if you want to take it that far. The problem is that it's being seen by the people, mostly on the right, that he's doing something really wrong to try and make a minor right. As far as the right is concerned, Kap could have done basically anything at this same level of negativity and it wouldn't change the way they see his protest.

Now Kaps point in a way is that he had to do something like this to gain enough media attention to get the message out to a large enough audience, but the people are saying he should have done it in another more tasteful way. Even if the problem was being suppressed and was bad enough that it required what he did, then they should have all been able to turn a blind eye to the wrongdoing and help make things right, but they haven't.

The fact that the people are mostly aware of the deeper meaning behind this, and still don't care, means the issue wasn't a big enough problem to warrant what he did. That's also not to say the issue is worthless either. This just makes the right even angrier when more players join and continue to kneel, instead of handling the reason for the protest in a different way after seeing they aren't making the progress they hoped to make.

I hold him partially responsible for the misunderstanding. He did not speak "about the problem at every chance he had". When he was kneeling, he was doing no talking. Perfect chance to hold up a sign of some sort leading to his website for example.

Of course, he is not totally responsible: there will be elements who wish to warp his message for whatever reason but that is something beyond his control. What he can do is make it as difficult as possible for these elements to misrepresent him.

And that's ridiculous (assuming the shirt is appropriate).

So where are these people who do these things? Do you have a list of names or Twitter accounts? Facebook accounts?

Actually Kap was not looking for media attention when he first started this journey.  The media was looking for something and found Kap.  When this first started, Kap was just sitting on the bench during the anthem.  A journalist noticed him sitting on the bench during the anthem and asked him why and he explained that he could not stand for during the anthem when there was injustice still going on in America.  At this time no one even noticed him sitting on the bench during the anthem or even cared until one journalist made it into a story.

At BOLDED:  Not sure what you mean by this.  Just because someone decide to protest doesn't mean people will just turn the way they think and jump on board.  Any protest takes years to come to any type of conclusion or no conclusion.  This is not a right or left situation it's an institution type of situation.  Black people have been saying they have been abused by the police for years way before Kap and definitely way before camera phones came on the scene.  It was ignored then and it still ignored now even when evidence is presented.  Just like with the Civil rights marches and protest during the 60s, nothing is going to get noticed or changed unless the protest has staying power, raises awareness and does not get side tracked by dumb stuff (violence would be a key which I am sure some detractors would love to happen).  This is not a sprint its a marathon.  As we have shone plenty of times, people always say protest a different way even during the Civil Rights times.  The key is to continue to protest and continue to add that tension which is needed for change.

To assume Kap figured his protest wouldn't ever lead to anything isn't logical. If you don't think doing something is worth it, you don't do it, unless your forced to of course. Kap would have kept standing otherwise. The point of sitting would be to get noticed, which if you take that logical path, will eventually expand depending on the factors at play. Based on the reasoning for his sitting, assuming all he wanted was sympathy from a few team mates, or whatever, makes no sense. If Kap didn't want media attention, he would have told the reporter to beat it and would have kept quiet.

Just recently with the Kavanaugh sexual assault accusation, and protest of his nomination, the vote is being held off even though the evidence at this time couldn't be more weak. One of the reasons no doubt is because she feels she was suppressed considering it happened like 30 years ago and she hasn't been able to come forward. The people clearly think the woman went about this in a proper enough manner, and that it's important enough to be taken care of asap because of it. It's not just about the underlying problem, it's how it's 'marketed' as well. I also wasn't saying protesters should give up, but when you've spent enough time pushing against a brick wall, and you've tried to smash through it and still don't succeed, then maybe you should look at another approach, like take a walk and find where the wall ends for example. Continuing to pound on the wall instead, is just going to fuel the anger of the people inside.
