from here it appears he disagrees with the slogan.
to be fair...i think the slogan promotes even more unrest.
on the other hand, their message is important. (serious understatement)

now the NFL has climbed on board with a sort of acknowledgement.
Not sure what that does for the anthem now....but that's besides the point!

There's so many layers of crap going on alongside all the good.

As far as the anthem? At this point they may as well ALL kneel, at this point it HAS actually become a symbol.

But I was reading on a political forum where people were wondering where the All Lives Matter group is in all this, what were they doing to help, some even suggesting that was the group inciting the rioting.....umm, there IS no actual All Lives Matter group..and if there was, would blacks not be part of All?

No at this point it's become like getting behind gay marriage....if you aren't actively for it, you're against it. The problem is, the vast majority of people in this case are FOR change, have no problem thinking it's long past due for major changes. I have to wonder how latinos and other minorities feel about Black Lives Matter being painted on the street to the White House for example.

Seeing a 4 yr old walking down the street yelling No Justice No Peace....and another saying 'they don't treat black people good' kinda makes me cringe....because PART of the whole problem here (don't get me wrong, the primary problem is systemic racism) is how blacks train up their kids in relation to white people...with black kids often growing up thinking ALL white people are bad and shouldn't be trusted.
