That people outraged that an NFL Football player's peaceful protest is so disrespectful to veterans ought to be asking why the NFL charged the DoD over $780k for "salute the troop" tributes last year...
Selective outrage is a white folk super power - It can destroy minds in a single thought, usually their own
Peace

Obviously, no one thinks Trump supporters are very diverse.
My window to the outrage is social media. The fury I'm seeing is from white people.
Most of my AA friends are fellow vets. Their opinions are not anti Kaeperneck. They are pro free speech even if they disagree with his specific actions. Obviously YMMV.
So. Yeah, nice try

A man exercising his rights isn't a hero friend.
Never said that he was.
He's just a man exercising his rights.
Be mad as you want. Doesn't pick my pocket or break my leg. You're just a person exercising your rights.
