BTW, why don't you tell us how smart it is that he is bemoaning the personal fouls in the manner he did?

Not one of the athletes kneeling, sitting, or supporting those doing exactly that are REMOTELY attempting to say they themselves are oppressed.  


What is going on here is something trump and his minions are COMPLETELY unfamiliar with:  

Taking a stand for those who do not have a voice, at risk of their own personal gain, to better the lives of EVERYONE.

The antithesis of trump.

You say they are taking a stand for those who do not have a voice, but what are they taking a stand for exactly? That is the confusing part. There really is no message. 

Oh, and for the record, this country was on a long path of divisiveness long before Donald came down the escalator in Trump Tower on that fateful day.

Clearly you just aren't trying.  Willfully so.

The man and those taking a similar stance believe there are issues with police brutality being ignored.  The man thinks inequality is being ignored.

He chose to take a stand via a public forum and otherwise to draw attention to those issues.  Maybe you agree with the IDEA that these are  issues in our country.  Maybe you don't.   All that is going on is people who have a LOT TO LOSE attempting to draw attention to something they think is a serious matter that isn't being taken serious enough.  For people that don't have the ability THAT THEY DO to bring attention to those issues.

Oh, and for the record, via twitter and his own voice, trump is willfully and intentionally allowing white supremacists in their various forms, to believe their acts of violence and hatred are acceptable.  That isn't just whatever day, both before the election and after, that is on a daily basis he breathes life into the hatred.
