Confederate/Nazi flag vs Anthem Kneeling

I read that more as Sable asking why one is worth caring about over the other.

If your message to those claiming offense to someone refusing to honor the anthem/flag is to "get over it", how is it different for someone to tell another who takes offense at a few racist statues to "get over it."

Another great post.

If you insist on people kneeling in peaceful and silent protest as a both a threat and attack on America, then you really need some help

Another straw man, man you on a roll!

Are they doing the "Black Power" thing?

So explain to me how you can support the protest, and say who cares about the flag, anthem, but at the same time support the removal of statues😂

You can't have it both ways!

He doesn't care that people protest the American flag or anthem, because they're just a flag/anthem and don't symbolize anything. he is for removing the confederate flag and statues because they're not just flags/statues and do symbolize something.

It makes perfect sense.

Repeat: Because. No. One. Is. Attacking. The. Flag. Nor. The. Anthem.

That's the false narrative Trumpco and Trumpers are pushing to diminish the peaceful protestors.

This is also beyond the point that it's legal to burn flags and not stand for the anthem, cos you know, individual rights is still a thing, at least for now.

If you suddenly don't believe that the kneeling is an attack on the flag, the anthem, America, then you've just destroyed all your previous arguments. It works both ways

To me it all depends on whether there's any kind of official policy in place prohibiting such a thing.

Are you being sarcastic? About the flag/anthem symbolizing nothing..

Bad at reading sarcasm online, plus you did claim not to really care either way on the flag (Which I can respect 👆 )

Yes he was being sarcastic.

His previous comment was equally as good.

I do find it interesting that for the most part, people that wonder what the big deal is because it's just a flag/anthem are the same ones that agree with removing statues/flag and vice versa.

Then it seems about as appropriate as a nazi salute from a white supremacist. If there are rules against one then there should be rules against the other. If both are allowed then whatever.

Do you really believe "black power" is the same as "white power"?

If you're going to troll along, that's fine. But I'll bow out. I don't see the point. I've already addressed and pointed out the false claim of hypocrisy. Your call.

Im not trolling, really I am not. Why don't you just address him directly. Instead of going through me? He has valid points that you should address.

I was pointing out his double standard. he was arguing that people should just get over it because "it's just a flag" whereas he is all for removing the confederate flag because "it's not just a flag".

Personally, I'm going to start laying down during the anthem. Just makes sense. Everyone likes a nap.

How can [President Trump] call kneelers 'sons of bitches' but say that some of the folks on the side of the KKK and Neo-Confederates are 'good people'? -snip

😂 Trump and Trumpers got destroyed there

Stop. You're the one that asked me to address his failed point and I did. There is no hypocrisy as shown on the previous page. Anyhow, moving on.
