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"?  

Okay. You're strawmanning me with this race stuff and acting like I'm in the KKK. I'm not white enough.The conversation about police brutality has been going on for decades outside of football. Since you keep bringing it up, I'll poke some holes thru your theory. Colin's particular claim isn't based on reality these days and it's race baiting. Statistics don't support what he's saying. I'm sure that blacks committing the majority of the murders/robberies in the US per year and perpetuating that "resist the cops" mentality have something to do with the frequency of police interactions and escalation of those interactions.

"In shootings in these 10 cities involving officers, officers were more likely to fire their weapons without having first been attacked when the suspects were white."

I wonder if you work for Al Sharpton or something.

 

There's a ton of reasons why those idiots are "taking a knee" since he started sitting/kneeling later on. It's not about a specific issue. It's disrespectful of a millionaire football player to virtue signal during the national anthem at football games for any reason. 

That fact that you think people should care about a song more that people's life is astonishing.   The fact that you think that black should shut up because whites have weapons drawn on them too is mindblowing. 

This isn't going away as you can see.  Those who value their lives will continue to do so and you will not be successful in convincing us to lay down and die. 

Your arguments don't aren't moving because it doesn't address the issue.  You don't even see what the issue is.  You think it's about football or Kaepernick or the 'left'.  You think that white lose of life somehow remedies black loss of life. Like either are justified. 

I thought you were racist but actually you are just lost. The debate may be decades long but it will go on for a century if that is what it takes to resolve it or give it the attention that it deserves.
