You're all kinds of confused, bro.Kapernick has donated close to a million and is pledging more.
"fatherless black homes and poverty", is not police brutality.
see, you're not addressing the FBI stats on the disproportionate crime rate amongst blacks...which poverty and fatherless homes contribute to.
more crimes and more police contact equals more reaction from the police.

it's cringe worthy but it's his money. i'll leave my personal beliefs out of it. i'm not saying I condone this but i'm not a cop praiser either. they are fallible and I kind of feel like we're living in a police state already.

Exactly. They commit way more murder than any other race in this country. This is why their neighborhoods have a higher police presence. This explains why more of them are in jail for drug offenses as well. These are uncomfortable truths, they want to pretend police brutality is the biggest problem facing the community. It's not even close.

And can you imagine the reaction if a white player was donating to somewhere dedicated to helping a white man who was convicted of murdering a black person?

the problem is people will try to use these facts to feel racially superior and others will pounce on it.
we have to address the underlying reasons and people don't want to do that. it's way more "noble" to just blame tha man

we both know but there's no point in saying this because you know how that goes...people will jump on the hypothetical angle and try to say you are playing the white male victim.

Those people do not understand race then. No race is superior. Cultures, on the other hand...definitely are not all equal.
The culture leads to the violence. Some try to say poverty, I'm sure it plays a role, but then again you do not see the same homicide rates in the trailer parks.

I welcome the white male victim comments though. Such a person saying that shows me they are just ignorant and not to be taken seriously. If all they can do is spout off about "you poor white victim" when reality and double standards are brought up...well, that is sort of like having a discussion about hate groups and someone cites the Southern Poverty Law Center. Once they do that you know they are not to be taken remotely seriously.

You're conflating crimes statistics of criminals by race and police brutality. Shouldn't do that, they're two separate issues.
Don't care if there's 1 crime or 1,000 crimes a day in a given geographical area, cops shouldn't be abusing their power. No one is saying it isn't a tough job, but if you can't do it within the rules, do something else.
Here is the deal. People have the right to protest in whatever nonviolent manner they choose to but if someone finds that particular avenue offensive they also have that right. Both sides insulting the other is what is making this so divisive. No one is willing to try to see the others perspective and lines are drawn. Trump added more fuel to the fire with his bullying tactics. This could cost the NFL money so it's in their best self interest over money to try to stop this though I doubt it'll work.
