Well good. Im with you. I thought it was fine too. Lots of people, Donald Trump, and Mike Pence did not think it was fine, and my point is, to them, there is no acceptable form of protest from black people, they just want it to stop.

To be fair, they took issue with kneeling during the national anthem.
But hey I suppose there could have been no other time at all during a football game to protest.

I don't care what they consider acceptable. I'm saying that I don't find riots and looting acceptable. do you find it acceptable?
Looting proves these people have no value in their community, let alone themselves.
I don’t care what happen, you don’t take a tragedy like and begin looting.
What do you prove by looting? You prove to the world you are all a bunch of uneducated morons, no one should ever feel bad about.
And before anyone start bitching, this goes for all races.

Did they call out the looters from the black community or just whine about whites? This shouldn't be difficult to answer. Either they did or they didn't.
Sounds like they did. Did you read the article? What sounds really bad here is it sounds for all the world that you are calling black looters "thugs" and white looters "whites"
Can you understand why the use of that type of differentiation might be offensive to me?

okay then I guess the white community of minneapolis needs to explain their murder. since the whole community must own and answer for the crimes of the few, or forfeight justice.

I never said stop their careers. Just don't be a little weasel who only kneels in front of cameras during the game season. Practice what you preach in the off season.
"During an October appearance at a Harlem charter school called DREAM, Bishop and Baskin noted Kaepernick's message to the kids in attendance focused on "being 'just in unjust places'" and "confronting 'ignorance not with ignorance, but with education.'”
"Kaepernick, for his part, spent Super Bowl Sunday in New York City, where he toured black cultural institutions, handed out meals, and helped men get fitted with free suits. He first toured Harlem’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a research library and archive of manuscripts, rare books, photographs, and more information on people of African descent. Afterwards, Kaepernick went to the Jamaica, Queens location of SCO Family of Services—a statewide shelter and social services organization—where he served meals alongside volunteers from the Lower Eastside Girls Club and the Kaepernick-fudned rights campaign Know Your Rights Camp."
"Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was back in the Bay Area to celebrate his 32nd birthday in Oakland by giving back to the community.
Kaepernick hired a food truck to help feed people in need and distributed backpacks and other supplies to the local homeless"
"Nevertheless, Kaepernick is doing everything he can to better the communities that are more likely to be affected. The former NFL quarterback began the COVID-19 relief fund under his “Know Your Rights Camp” foundation.
For starters, Kaepernick intends to provide food and shelter to those in need. In addition, he will provide PPE (personal protective equipment) to help protect the poverty-stricken communities that he hopes to aid."

I do find any looter to be a thug, but you posted an article that was focusing on the white aspect so it's why I separated them.
Thugs are thugs bro.

You too?
Man, SMH, you and Surtur are racist.
The community is not comprised of just white people, bro.
George Floyd was a black man.

A person has a weak heart and runs a marathon. He has a heart attack and dies. Is it fair to say the marathon had nothing to do with his death, and all blame rests on his weak heart?
Here we have someone with chronic conditions, who was manhandled and put in a highly stressful position.

Then my argument isnt with you, its with someone who condemns peaceful protest: i.e. trump or pence.
Even if Trump condemns peaceful protest it doesn't mean the solution is violence and burning.
Why should the protesters give a f*ck what Trump thinks about their protest? They should only care if he's sending the government to shut them down.
