Quote:I don't recall many instances where someone used negativity to promote their cause where it ended up being successful in winning the hearts and minds of those they intended to target with their message. It won't be successful here either. It's just ignorance and hate raising it's hand to identify itself. Take note.

Is it really negativity? Or is it simply protest you don't like. In the grand scheme, it's taking a knee. It's not flipping the bird or turning one's back. I love this country, but I don't believe for a second they always have my best interests in mind with every action they take. Should we always blindly support every action the US takes without question? There is a group that feels marginalized and is taking a stand. You don't have to like it or agree with it. But can you put yourself in their shoes for a moment and understand why they may feel that way? Personally, I think people who are getting so bent out of shape over it are being hypersensitive. These people are saying over and over they don't have issue with cops or the military. They are seeking social change and calling attention to some ugly truths. That's all.
