The clear PROOF OF WHITE PRIVLEGE is white people's choice to react AGAINST, rather IS SUPPORT OF NFL players peacefully protesting police brutality and aggression toward black people of America.
Act of faith by Kaepernick is part of everyone's right to peacefully protest, but we need to all get on the right side. Why is it hard to abide by the fact police are too aggressive when facts show American police shootings of people outpace every other country on the planet earth BY A HUGE MARGIN?!
"By the numbers: US police kill more in days than other countries do in years"
The Guardian has built the most comprehensive database of US police killing ever published. Compare our findings to those from the UK, Australia, Iceland and beyond
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/09/the-counted-police-killings-us-vs-other-countries
In some cases we have much lager population, but the ratios, shootings per 100 or so people, do not support American police killings.
"
It’s rather difficult to compare data from different time periods, according to different methodologies, across different parts of the world, and still come to definitive conclusions.
But now that we have built The Counted, a definitive record of people killed by police in the US this year, at least there is some accountability in America – even if data from the rest of the world is still catching up.
It is undeniable that police in the US often contend with much more violent situations and more heavily armed individuals than police in other developed democratic societies. Still, looking at our data for the US against admittedly less reliable information on police killings elsewhere paints a dramatic portrait, and one that resonates with protests that have gone global since a killing last year in Ferguson, Missouri: the US is not just some outlier in terms of police violence when compared with countries of similar economic and political standing."
Are we Americans going to continue to condone police shooting suspects forever and for any excuse?
Yes, I am saying the right side this time in to protest against, not argue for, and preach for MORE aggressive police violence against blacks and suspects overall.
It is a dog whistle, i.e., code words, by Tweety when he tells cops to not be careful of suspects heads as the place them in the squad car since most "suspects" are black.
The CLEAREST PROOF OF WHITE PRIVILEGE is a failure of white people to recognize and acknowledge the plight of black people in America, and obvious racisms in the White House, and the WHITE CABINET (excluding the token black surgeon doing nothing for HHS.)
In the VERY BEST POSSIBLE LIGHT, TWEETY LIKES WHITE PEOPLE MORE THAN BLACK PEOPLE, ALL ARE AMERICANS, of course. To wit Tweety said there were good people on both sides of the violence in Charlottesville. But the black player protesting the national anthem and American flag is a son of a bitch.
Nazis and White Nationalist came out better in Tweety's words, and deeds than a black football player with big hair.
The NFL stood up for their brother, and white people came out of the woodwork to protest against kneeling NFL players, the majority of which are black. Keep fooling yourself white boy, as you say your protest against the black protest in not political or not about race. You fool yourself into buying the "truthful hyperbole." Good for you. I'll bet you can justify the holocaust next. . . plan/support concentration camps for [e.g., Arizona; sheriff Arpaio] "criminals" / prisoners suspected of shoplifting or breaking an immigration law.
America is not great and continues to struggle greatly to achieve the ideals expressed in our national anthem and represented by our flag.
"Americans like me are programmed to respect the national anthem above everything – so good on Colin Kaepernick" [Kaepernick is merely trying to tell Americans that they are NOT living up to the ideals of the American flag!]
By focusing on Kaepernick’s method of protest, Trump has done his damnedest to draw our eyes away from why the athlete started doing this in the first place. But what the NFL star did was very smart, and makes us think twice about what really makes us American

THE POINT IS AMERICA HAS FORGOTTEN WHT OUR FLAG STANDS FOR!
There absolutely IS White Privilege in America, as white people pass through their day, every tie a cop passes by.
Black Lives Matter NEVER meant any life was less important! People who throw back "All Lives Matter" are giht, but just missing the point, and changing a subject they do not want to talk about, cops killing too many black people.
