I got beat to the link by TheBeardedDude but it is a really good read to learn what they are doing and why.
I actually just watched a debate yesterday between my coworkers because one is more world cultured while the other two are more white southern pride. The two claim white privilege isn't real anymore and that they are making this a bigger issue than it is. I agree with the world cultured lady but I got in trouble for debating at work so I stayed out of it other than to just state the facts (the white privilege ones didn't even know what was really happening)
Basically it's people like them that only see their small town of mostly white people, working Mexicans, and a splatter of any other race that are sitting there thinking none of this horrible stuff is going on anywhere else in the country simply because they don't see it first hand.
On the other side people like myself and the wordly coworker are mad at people for being so blind. The thing with Trump is because he went and said that the people during the Nazi issue recently had good people in it while these peaceful protestors are all kinds of nasty names and need to be fired.
I get that they are on company time and if the team owners don't like it they can rightfully get fired but Trump has no say in that. That is a decision for each team and Trump is just fueling the hate like always.
People like all my family and friends (most EMS and Military) are saying the flag itself is being disrespected and getting all hot and bothered over that. I've tried explaining that the national anthem is racist in itself but they scoff at me. I have also tried to explain the kneeling thing but they don't want to hear that either. You are correct in that we wear and disrespect the flag everyday but they take no notice of that.
