And it's NEVER a right time for minorities or for those who are down-trodden to protest anything wrong in this country.
Many in this country don't have to worry about being unarmed and MURDERED by rotten policemen (Who get away with it), of course you don't give a damn, and you don't CARE about the issue Kaepernick was kneeling about
That installed, tReasonous piece of filth is continuing to go after African-American athletes, Jemele Hill--African-Americans in general. Just because they're athletes/sportscasters who make money they have NO right to say anything about or protest indignities, racism, sexism? They don't have a right to want this country to be BETTER?
Again, they'll NEVER be a right time for protestation, even if peaceful. NEVER--especially if you're a minority, and it's simplistic to think that there is a "proper" way for African-Americans to protest racism.
It was not the right time in 1965 for Dr. King to take a knee in silent, peaceful prayer either.

It also wasn't the right time as my fellow Native Americans to protested as they're being pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed @ Standing Rock by policemen in 2016.

Yet it's ALWAYS the "right time" for ANGRY, RACIST, privileged white men to march under a got damn NAZI flag protesting the removal of a treasonous asshole's statue, and it's of course crickets from that fat, mentally-ill, racist bastid who said that they were "good" people. He had to be forced to read something negative about THEM "Sieg Heiling" and chanting disgustin things about Jewish people.
LeBron James IS a rich, famous, and mostly popular athlete, but that didn't absolve HIM from having NI**ER written on his gate/fence.

(Not sure if this is a legit photo of his house after it was vandalized, but that's what it was represented as).
All of his money won't absolve him from being shot and killed by rogue policemen IF one decides to go after him.

tRumptun's doing what putin wants him to--the ruskies are STILL meddling, STILL making trouble over in this country by trying to get a worse culture war going now. The Flag is being used as a prop for that.

I hope that I live long enough to see some of the KARMA that's going to befall tRumputin and putin, beauguard and their filthy ilk, because it's gonna be horrific
