If Black lives matter, than what about abortion? Don’t those lives matter? The disabled. Don’t their lives matter? Veterans. Don’t their lives matter?
NBA is planning logos on the floors, and the NFL should know the flag means more than something to take a knee to.
I would be more impressed if the protesters were old enough to even vote, and if the press would take a stand on something other than hating Trump.
We need to finally take a stand like we did after 9/11. Let’s sit down and work toward solving this problem other than riots, defunding the police, beating down people and murder — all under the banner of slavery that ended over 100 years ago.
