This protesting the anthem is the wrong way to do the right thing.


In the future I will share some of our footage from the Charlotte protests. The ignorance level is high - in case you were wondering.


Our favorite is 2 college girls from Minnesota who were downtown. When we asked them (innocently, as if unaware) what this was all about- we got 1 girl saying the repeated killing of innocent black people by white police. My guy tells her that the cop was black and the victim was proven to have a loaded gun ( not true yet, but we were having some fun ) She then says well "It does happen sometimes". My guy then probes "well then why here in Charlotte? To which she says, "to bring awareness to the issue". And he says but "it has never happened in Charlotte- so why here?" And she says something dumb like the news said it was an innocent guy shot by a white cop...


So then my guy probes the next girl, who says something equally stupid. So my dude pretends to stop the interview - and coaches her on something good to say for the camera. I point the camera at both of them as he basically tells her what to say into the mic: "We are protesting inequality demonstrated worldwide against the less fortunate and also minorities and women. AND SHE SAYS EXACTLY THAT FOR US.


People will do anything to be on TV.
