It all started because one brave man... - Mary Roach

Posted: Nov 19th, 2018 - 8:25 am In Reply to: NFL Kneeling - SI

....wanted to bring attention to the problem of African American people being shot down in the streets and brutalized by police officers. It was not about disrespecting the flag, our national anthem, our country, our military, etc. It was one black man trying to get us all to wake up to what a huge problem it is. It was a peaceful protest. "Disobedience in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and rebellion." Oscar Wilde
