I typed out an actual response to this explaining why people are upset, but I realized you have already read it before. You just don't care. You want to believe what you want to believe, and anything that disproves your viewpoint is discarded. 

So, I deleted it because what's the point, right?

Is it really misinterpretation, or the true thoughts of said people who feel strongly about those players kneeling?

Ive said this before, but I will say it again even though I know your will purposely dismiss it. All White people who hold conservative views are not bigots and have open minded social beliefs and principles I know some personally so I can speak to that. My previous statement was applied to those who think otherwise. 

Regarding your response, and the overall explanation to why people are upset comes down to this. It is on the record that the players have stated this is not a protest against the military, it is to shed light on systematic injustice that by the way YOU and others have deemed "falsehoods", or "fake", which is considered blissful ignorance. 

Are you irritated by me making blunt statements that gets straight to the point?

You saying all conservatives aren't racist is irrelevant when you almost always apply the belief that something is racist when it's criticism against people that so happen to be black. This demonstration is a perfect example. Since when has it been socially acceptable to protest the anthem and flag? You think this is a newly held belief since black athletes are doing it? It doesn't matter who is doing it; a lot of people simply don't like it. A demonstrably low number of people are saying they shouldn't have the right. Most are saying they just shouldn't do it out of respect.
They are falsehoods. This outrage is based on lies. There is nothing blissfully ignorant about it. Aside from the death proportion to population statistic, there is nothing to support the idea that police kill black more than whites. That statistic doesn't account for the number of violent encounters each race has with police.
Murder: 51% black, 45.9% white
Robbery: 53% black, 44% white
Burglary: 68% white, 29.5% black
So, out of the main situations people get shot by police, one is mainly white and two were mainly black. The white numbers also include Hispanics. Even though blacks make up only about 13% of the population, they commit an unproportional number of violent crimes compared to their proportion to the general population. Of the above mentioned statistics, there were 241645 incidents. 38.1% of those showed a black offender. They make up about 26% of police shootings.
There's no evidence to support this made-up injustice.
