Alright.. I'm thinking people who know me or who read this and know I'm white are thinking why do I care about those shootings by police officers, there is no way that will ever happen to me.. I'M WHITE... It's the principle of the thing.. Yeah I don't worry about being shot by over zealous police officers.. not yet anyway because it hasn't happened yet.. But it could start.. What is to keep it from happening??? What did that guy in Tulsa do to warrant being shot besides looking "like a bad dude"?? When will the first white person be shot for no reason happen?? I don't want to be the one.. I live in an extremely boring part of the country and I will be honest with you, I'm actually glad to be living here.. My mom got a call the other night from a neighbor asking what that was going on next door to us.. Well I checked and it was a fire truck setting there .. doing..??? setting there.. But mom called her back and they got talking and the lady tells mom, better lock your doors to be safe tonight.. We would if we could... YOU DON'T LOCK YOUR DOORS?? Lady.. We haven't locked our door since the lock stopped working.. When was that??? 1970... WHAT??? It's true...
But why I agree with Colin Kaepernick is that I am alright with him doing a peaceful demonstration unlike last night in North Carolina when things got a little out of hand.. If you have an issue with him kneeling during the anthem read about what he is protesting.. Google it.. Don't just jump on the bandwagon of he is anti American.. He wasn't last year, why would he be this year?? Think a little... And yeah it might not effect you directly now but in the future it might very well..
I don't know why it would effect people that a has been QB in the NFL sits during the national anthem. He sits during the game... What the fans of the 49ers should be more upset about is that he gets paid what he does for doing less than the ball boy does.. but.. That's my opinion.. Such as it is..
