Where was I trying to say this?

Denial pf the obvious is as much a comment as a comment itself.

I'm afraid I'm not following... Care to clarify?

No. Kaepernick exercised his freedom of speech, I exercised mine.

What's the problem?

Not every killing is illegal. That might include Stephon Clark's killing.

What portions of the article say this? Still not seeing it. Can you quote the article where it says this?

No, I'm going to speak my mind. Kaepernick doesn't have to listen if he doesn't want to but I think it's always a good idea to listen to any and all feedback and draw whatever lessons that can be drawn.

Behold how some of the biggest companies in the world have feedback pages through which people can provide their input.

https://www.apple.com/feedback/

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/rsvp/leave-feedback.html

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/27932/windows-10-send-us-feedback

These companies seek to sell their products, Kaepernick seeks donations to his causes.

Correction: I didn't say "no love for white people", I asked "No love for white victims?"

I asked a question, I did not make a statement here.

"Then why would anyone decide to stand against the people that point that out and wish for it to change?"

Sometimes because those who wish for it to change don't always go about it the right way. Some riot and destroy property or hurt people who had nothing to do with any particular incident. Some block traffic potentially inhibiting the movements of emergency services. Some might go real hard and go sniping in Dallas.

Some just lie and others buy it without exercising any reasonable amount of skepticism:

1) Read the article. "Amazing news, Turkish Airlines granted us an airplane to fly to Somalia, a 60-ton cargo plane so we can fly there with food, with water for these people," He went with the relief aid.

2) You can speak your mind. I never said you cannot. I said you cannot make suggestions when all you do is speak your mind. At least, you cannot be taken seriously. Who in their right mind should or would respect you? I certainly do not and neither should anyone actually putting in the work. Your opinion, ultimately means nothing because you have no integrity behind it. So, you can speak your mind, but your suggestions add absolutely nothing to the conversation. Actually, you have added nothing to the conversation, really.

3) To even, "ask" such a question when there has been no evidence presented to the contrary is still an attempt at slander. Point blank, that is a slanderous or at least attempted slanderous question. That is all there is to it.

4) You cannot be serious with that reply. That may be the worst thing I have read this year. "He didn't ask for people to stop being killed or the killers to be held accountable correctly" may be the most insanely stupid thing I have read on the internet this year. At least for that you can have my congratulations. However, that is a very sad thing to say and very, very poor form. People are being murdered and someone has to, "ask the right way" for that to stop happening. Get right the fuck up on out of here with that bullshit. I cannot even respond to you anymore if that is the length you are willing to go to maintain your obviously antiquated and incorrect position. What a waste!

"Read the article. "Amazing news, Turkish Airlines granted us an airplane to fly to Somalia, a 60-ton cargo plane so we can fly there with food, with water for these people," He went with the relief aid."

>I see... Is there footage of him going to Somalia?

By the way, I'd really like to thank you for copy-pasting the bit in the article you were referring to. I know sometimes I may ask for a lot but I would go the same extra distance for whomever I am speaking to. I come from youtuber potholer54's school of inquiry and journalism wherein ambiguity is to be clarified, sources be provided, specificity be maintained.

See an example of his work here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbW-aHvjOgM

>I think what I have to say should be evaluated based SOLELY on my statement's own individual merit rather than my own merit. I know I have not raised even a fraction of what Kaepernick has raised for worthwhile causes but of what relevance should that be if a suggestion I have could help boost his efforts in fundraising?

"To even, "ask" such a question when there has been no evidence presented to the contrary is still an attempt at slander. Point blank, that is a slanderous or at least attempted slanderous question. That is all there is to it."

>But it's a fact that in his speech, Kaepernick failed to mention white victims of police brutality like he mentioned black and brown victims of police brutality. This is not slander nor an attempt. There was no falsehood in my question.

>Well it's a good thing those were not my words.

"Get right the fuck up on out of here with that bullshit."

>I have something to say. You can ignore it but I won't be shutting up.

My sincerest apologies.

"I cannot even respond to you anymore if that is the length you are willing to go to maintain your obviously antiquated and incorrect position. What a waste!"

>Please have a nice day.
