The Flag And Free Speech . . . About The Flag

Colin Kaepernick chose to sit during the National Anthem. He chose to use it as a platform for protest. Without getting into the content, it is interesting to see the flack he received, implying he had no right to protest because he makes too much money. This argument makes no sense and is not what the people making it are really saying. 

What it comes down to is this: people tend to think that protesting the flag, or protesting police actions, means you are protesting EVERY. SINGLE. ASPECT. of the institution you are protesting. This is not the case. You can respect the ideals where they apply while recognizing the flaws and the failures. 

The Flag as a symbol has never been used solely for beautiful things. Think Joe McCarthy. Think what we did to Chief Joseph and thousands of others. 

Listen to what someone is trying to say before assuming it is about you.
