In our white supremacist society even the most mild form of protest against the racial hierarchy has to be silenced as soon as possible. If black protesters march peacefully, they're sprayed with fire hoses; if they block traffic, they're disparaged by the public; if they stage a sit-in, they're arrested; if they make a purely symbolic public gesture, they're banned from doing so by their employer. The form of the protest doesn't matter - the objection is against the existence of the protest at all. If black people have a problem with the racial hierarchy in this country, they shouldn't air any grievance publicly in any way, shape, or form, but should instead stay in a dark room where they can't be seen or heard at all. That's the only "legitimate" form of protest for a racial underclass - silence and conformity.In post 156, shaft.ed wrote:I don't know why they can't return to the old system where the players weren't on the field during the national anthem
