I understand why Kaepernick didn't stand but i think he shouldn't have done it like that. he brought more attention to his character than to the actual problem. i don't remember watching the news and discussing police brutality i only remember them talking about if he should have stood or not. it really only brought attention to himself.

Honestly if you think Kaepernick taking a knee is disrespectful then you're ignorant. You gotta understand the reasoning behind his decision. POC have been oppressed in this country for centuries. They considered Black people less than human! They thought that slavery was okay

How could Kaepernick highlight the racial issues in a way that is less disrespectful to America?

Why is it fair to attack police officers over a few bad apples when every race has to go through injustice and racism towards them, multiple white people have been killed by police, and multiple Hispanic/Latinos have too.

It would take more effort to kneel than to stand, so wouldn't he be showing more respect? 🤔

Honestly I think nothing was super wrong about this. At least he wasn't disrespectful the entire time. Some Americans overreact to this & it's highly annoying.

The raised fist in the air didn't always mean black power, it used to mean power to the people. When did it start becoming about race instead of honor

I've never heard the full national anthem but it does say the home or the free and I understand the racial oppression that has taken place in the country even we all remember the KKK and the nigger term

Whats wrong with him refusing to stand? It's not mandatory to stand.

him not standing is disrespect to our country. there are people who have served and don't have the physical ability to stand for what they love, our country.

Do you guys think Kaepernick lost his position because of what he did?

# data[].attributes.body
Its not just that, If America is the "Land of the free, home of the brave" then things like police brutality shouldnt be happening. Sure I get that there is going to be some sort of corruption, but still, Kaepernick is simply taking a "knee" for what he believes is a major problem i the United States of America

I imagine Kaepernick takes offense from the third stanza of the of the poem, but I think we need to look at the text before and after that point in the poem to decide if it is celebrating the murder of African Americans, as Jon Schwarz said.
