It's really just this simple. Nike has aligned itself with colin Karpernick. I don't like colin kaepernic's politics. Therefore, I will never buy or wear anything with the Nike name or logo on it. |

Our flag has 50 stars and quote unquote five oh refers to the police. Let me educate you people right here... the Transitive Property states that if A=B and B=C then A=C. Since 50 means the police and the police are bad then 50 is bad. Therefore, it follows that our flag and anything representing same needs to be eliminated unless and until Puerto Rico joins up. To better illustrate my point:The Police |

The flag in controversy, however, has but thirteen stars, and flew exclusively during a time when slavery was legal everywhere in the Union.If the Founding Fathers and the Constitution's Framers had wanted to abolish slavery in their new nation, they would have. Kaepernick has a point about why the proposed shoe design is inappropriate. |

The flag of the Islamic State represents a false ideology which serves to hijack a religion with millions of devoted followers. The Nazi symbol was pure evil. Many claim the flag of the Confederacy represents the subjugation of blacks. I would simply argue that the flag in question represents the founding of a nation with all the good and bad inherent in society. It seems an awfully narrow interpretation to support K on your premise. If that were a righteous cause then what exactly is a flag? Israel and the sympathy espoused by many for the plight of the Palestinians? The Union Jack representing all its history of colonialism and building of empires? This is my opinion and it is a good one.Our so-called leaders speak With words they try to jail you They subjugate the meek But it's the rhetoric of failure - Spirits in the Material World |

So, should we just ignore that entire entire timeframe of History because slavery happened to be going on at that time in the New World?

I agree that the Ross flag represents a specific period in our country's history. However, Kaepernick cogently points out that during the Continental Congress' debates on what should go into the Declaration of Independence, the opportunity existed to make the US slavery-free from her inception. The South threatened to walk, and slavery was allowed to remain.Flags say something about the countries they represent, as you astutely noted in your example of the Nazi flag. A Stars and Stripes that stood for a slave nation from border to border (and yes, in 1776, England's flag was the ensign of an entire slave empire), is a reminder that our country was founded while continuing the bondage of people the British Empire placed in chains to begin with. Independence, history records, didn't mean freedom for all. That's the point Kaepernick is making. |

I think that we should demand that Martin Van Buren High School, which I did not attend, should be renamed as President Van Buren was the last known slave owning president. Perhaps we can eliminate his name from the list of former presidents, all together. Heck, I doubt that he'll even be missed. |

OMG!The 13-star flag represents our early republic, which despite its obvious flaws, most Americans want to celebrate and are justified in celebrating. As for your claim that if they wanted to abolish slavery, they would have: NO! Without the agreement of the southern states, there would have been no United States and likely no independence. Something that modern millennial SJWs don't realize is the value of compromise. |

Here is video of Tamir being shot.Notice: Although he is initially playing with the toy gun, no one is visible in the entire park. Far more likely, a Becky called 911 and reported a Black man with a gun, not a child at play. Hmm. As a kid, I ran all over my neighborhood with a jet-black cap gun, and no cops ever shot me dead over it. The park is still empty when the police come screeching in. As established by the time index, less than two seconds later, Tamir is dead. He wasn't pointing anything at anyone by this time. No voice commands, no "comply or die", nothing. He was a child. |

No true democracy exists when people are held in slavery. The Founders should have stood firm. A smaller country might have declared its Independence, but it would have been one truer to the ideals she professes in the Declaration. The South would have been unlikely to trade slavery for remaining part of the British Empire. I believe they would have come to a different arrangement, had the Northern colonies chosen to go ahead without them. |
