Yes trying to start a conversation about black people being killed by the police is stupid and disrespectful to 'the country'.  

As a black person who has witnessed it, I can tell you that wanting to stand up for my life in this country isnt a piss poor reason. It won't stop because black people will NEVER die for you.  Got it.  Nope.  You don't get it.  Lol.  It's okay.  Just know that it won't stop because we think our live are worth fight for.

You are all like "how dare you speak up for yourself"?  

Kaepernick didn't kneel during the anthem when he was the 49ers starting QB in Super Bowl XLVII.  The start of his protest coincided with when he found himself as the back-up QB to Blaine Gabbert, and suddenly wanted out of his contract.  There are reasons why people find him disingenuous.

I don't care when he started it and for what reason.  I know that it is real and it needs to be talked about.  Because, it is bigger than him.  He wasn't the only one doing it either.  He because the poster boy for it but regardless of whether you like what he did or not, it needs to be talked about.
