4 Blackwater contractors massacred 17 Iraqi civilian two of which were children are pardoned by Donald Trump.

Crystal Mason, a black woman in Texas, is serving five years for voting on supervised release when she didn't realize she was ineligible.

Merry Christmas.

If there were voter ID cards that would not have happened.

Voter ID cards would have prevented the 4 thugs from murdering 17 civilians including women and children???

And this causes people to kneel at the playing of the National Anthem? Hmmm.

If you were Black, you'd kneel too.

If you were Black, you'd kneel too.Not on the basis of what some Blackwater contractors supposedly did, and not of the basis of a woman being convicted of her SECOND felony and having to serve jail time. Besides that, you have no idea what I would do if I was black. Neither do I, for that matter.

But we could certainly force twelve year boys to have vasectomies and cut off the right hands of thieves. That makes no sense in this context, but it made no sense the last three or four times you've made that suggestion, so I thought I'd just throw it in before you had the chance.

That's not why Blacks kneel.

REVERSIBLE vasectomies. It would be a minimun of pain and wouldn't change anything except that they couldn't get a female pregnant. Thus, NO ABORTIONS!

Those considering a stealing escapade would hopefully think twice (since BOTH hands would be cut off).

If it works....

(Communist???)

If it works....I can only assume you are either joking or have lost your ever-loving mind. OR that you actually are a communist, and I honestly can't say I rule that out. After all, the distance between liberal dem and commie is not that great.

"Moslem is an alternative spelling of Muslim. The words have the same meanings in all contexts, and both spellings have been in use for several centuries."

I would say the word "communist" was used as an adjective and was not part of an official title, so it did not need to be capitalized.

It was the beginning of a sentence that I decided not to finish.

Use apostrophes correctly and I'll watch what I capitalize.

It was an earlier comment I made about your apostrophizing a plural, but you walked right over my comment.

...so far!

People kneel to protest atrocities and bad acts by bad people who aren't held to account.

yes a silent protest far better to stand up and shout

And as for protests --
There once was a tea party in a port
Not too far from a big fort.
The tea was dumped into the sea
Oh my, oh my, oh me!
Afterwards, there were a lot of details to sort.

No one has said you are always to agree and keep your mouth shut.

No one has said you are always to agree and keep your mouth shut.
Thus, I can protest publicly.

How very liberal of you, and if your constitution didn't say that, what would you say?

I don't even know why we are talking about it or why she brought it up. It's a non-issue and a given in America, and no one has suggested otherwise. I'm all for freedom of speech.

Yes I notice you exercise it frequently

The thread is about kneeling in silent protest.

So, you're all for freedom of speech but not for kneeling in silent protest. Got it!

I don't care if people kneel in silent protest. Fine with me. Now I do have a freedom as well, and that is to not watch the sports where pampered millionaires want to kneel as though someone is depriving them of something. So it's a freedom that goes both ways. In the same way, people have freedom of speech and more power to them, but they don't have the power to force others to listen. Got it???

For me, if you want to do something useful, then try and work in low income communities where your chances of being killed, not by a cop, and certainly not by a security contractor, but by a member of your own community is really, really high. The disgracing of the flag accomplishes nothing other than allowing that person to preen proudly and pretend he has done something really meaningful. It's on the same level as demolishing statues. Looks impressive, but doesn't improve anyone's quality of life by one cent.

Now I do have a freedom as well, and that is to not watch the sports where pampered millionaires want to kneel as though someone is depriving them of something. don't care if people kneel in silent protest. Fine with me
Kneeling in protest is very similar to intercessory prayer, remembering in your prayer, or, in this case, your kneeling, others who are in pain and who are suffering.

Kneeling in protest is very similar to intercessory prayer, remembering in your prayer, or, in this case, your kneeling, others who are in pain and who are suffering.Perhaps that is true except, of course, that praying actually accomplishes something while kneeling does not. Do they kneel for the six thousand black Americans killed every year by other black Americans? Are those the ones in pain and suffering that they kneel for, or is it just really a political stunt?

Since helmets are removed and heads are bowed while kneeling, I'm confident prayers are being whispered. And yes, they kneel for Blacks hurt and killed unjustly -- and pray for an end to it. Nope, it isn't a political stunt.

Since helmets are removed and heads are bowed while kneeling, I'm confident prayers are being whispered. And yes, they kneel for Blacks hurt and killed unjustly -- and pray for an end to it.You have no idea if anyone is praying, but even if they are, they can pray at any time. It is not necessary to disrespect the flag to do that. And no, they are not kneeling for all black Americans. This has only been a protest over police killings. You can be certain they are not protesting the three hundred thousand black babies killed in abortion every year. It's just a political stunt.

I'm not trying to suggest that many of the players don't have sincere feelings about the issues. I don't doubt that, but from the point of view of those who organized this, it is just political. It basically accomplished nothing other than, in all likelihood, helping Harris/Biden get in office.

What better time and place to pray!

It is not necessary to disrespect the flag to do that.
There's no disrespect. If anything, it's just the opposite!

And no, they are not kneeling for all black Americans.
You know that how?

In this post, you've made a huge effort to say it's all show. And it has nothing to do with Biden. It started on August 26, 2016.

You know that how?By their public statements. They are hand in glove with BLM. Remember that Google is your friend.

"National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell (https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/roger-goodell) issued a 1 minute and 21 second apology on 5 June, following several years of debate within the NFL as well as among fans, Donald Trump (https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/DonaldTrump) and countless pundits who criticised Colin Kaepernick (https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/colin-kaepernick) and other players' silent protests against police brutality."

I have not said it was all show. I said it was largely a political stunt. "I'm not trying to suggest that many of the players don't have sincere feelings about the issues. I don't doubt that."

As to Biden, you might be right. I didn't say it was their intent, but that it could have been a by-product.

Be it protesting by taking a knee or marching in the streets and voting, it's a protected right. Of course anyone has a right to disagree, for whatever reason. No EVIDENCE needed.

yes there is plenty of evidence of that here
