[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1452852, member: 20599"] You raise good points that are applicable to the kneeling debate. Does not their intent matter? Does not body language matter? Many (maybe most?) (including Kapernick) are devout Christians. They are kneeling in a penitent pose, of supplication. Indeed, the stance is very similar to that taken by Tebow when he routinely dropped to his knee. In interviews they have said that they love their country, and want it to do better, for police to stop being trigger-happy (something many, if not most of us, on here have agreed is a problem). It is not a militant "f u" stance. Their fists aren't raised, their backs are not turned. They want their country to live up to its ideals. Kneeling, in a humble way. I really don't see any disrespect. I have seen much more disrespectful behavior. (Hoods and tiki torches, worn and carried by people protesting in FAVOR of the people who took up ARMS against [u]that same flag[/u]!) And I think it's just ridiculous to say that the people kneeling don't know why they're doing it. :roll: [/QUOTE]
