You believe police brutality against black people is a myth, I don't. I lack the energy and motivation to get back into that debate again; we are not going to change each other's minds. You're right about the sentencing and other biases in the system, and certainly that is a basis for the protests too. I don't believe for a second that Kaepernick is expressly motivated by pushing a socialist agenda on America, and neither are the vast majority of people who support his protests. I see where the idea is coming from though; some ideas that are proposed to combat racial inequality have socialist ideals at the heart of them. Again, you see that as some dark conspiracy to turn America into Venezuela, I absolutely do not.

When BLM uses the term comrade in their own propaganda...
