Kapernik (sp? who cares?), like Black Lives Matter before him, chose a most divisive way to highlight a cause that should have united us. Instead of calling out police for
real abuses, against people of all ethnicities, they chose to make it a black problem, and an anti-white grievance. Instead of pointing to examples of not only blacks, but also
whites,
Asians, and even
white Hispanics that had been mistreated by law enforcement; they chose to push the false narrative that police are tools of white supremacy, and that it is white people who de-value black people. Obviously, it is overwhelmingly black people that tend to place a low value on the lives of black people. Typically, they do this by committing violence against other black people (even if you don't include abortion). Occasionally, they do it by
bringing fists to a gun fight that they started. Instead of making poor police work, or poorly-crafted laws, the enemy; they chose to pit "black lives" against white people, minority-owned businesses, a non-racist Hispanic (and there are signs that George Zimmerman is among those who've now been pushed into anti-black racism by BLM, and its fellow travelers), all police, regardless of their job performance, and now American patriotism, and all things associated with patriotism.
Oh, and here's another interesting take on things.
