Uh. No. All I was meaning was that maybe he shouldn't be taking a knee then. Actually, I really don't care about the whole knee thing. I never cared or was offended. I was just responding to punkbillcarson about it since he brought it up, and that I could see where people could be offended. (Not that kneeling is a good way to bring about positive change. On the contrary though, it did bring about more division)......but thats besides the point.It's practically guaranteed that whatever device you typed this on contains minerals that were extracted from the earth by forced labor, be it de facto slavery or actual slavery. If you want to play the game of "no one can champion a cause or point out the hypocrisy in others unless they're an innocent lamb whose entire existence is predicated on ensuring that every molecule they encounter has never been touched by sin," you'll have to fall so far down the technological ladder that the only people who will ever hear you speak will be those in your immediate vicinity, and then you'll die of exposure when winter comes and you're without food, clothing and shelter.
Naturally, you aren't going to do that, because that would be stupid. The thing is, though, that trying to rebuke someone like Kaepernick simply because the platform that he's using to fight for positive change also has blood on its hands is nothing more than a deflection meant tohomeil focus away from the real issues at hand. It's the same tactic that conservatives have been using for years. Whenever they want to stifle debate, they'll say something like "all lives matter", "not all men," "what about Hillary's emails," or "it's not gun owners, it's the mentally ill who need treatment" (and that last one is especially rich considering how little of a shit the right cares about treating the mentally ill), statements and questions that, while inherently legitimate, are only thrown out with the utterly dishonest intent of derailing any real discussion.
I think that you just used my light-hearted post as an opportunity to vent out some your discontent about right-wingers considering that you lumped me together with people who give a fuck about hilarys emails....which, surprisingly, I don't.
