Do it enough times, and it always morphs into a public referendum on patriotism and who does or doesn't love their country instead of remembering the reasons why the protest even started in the first place...

How many media outlets with wall-to-wall Kaepernick/Trump coverage this past week have even given lip service to unarmed black folks getting gunned down by cops??
