Colin Kaepernick protests the Anthem

[indiucky]

Growing up in Clarksville we would see the Colonel quite a bit.....I remember the Cadillac and seeing Ray Callender as well.....The Colonel and my Mom were seeing the same heart specialist in Louisville for a time and their appointments were always about the same time...They (twice) rode the elevator together..Mom said the Colonel was always polite and a little flirty but in an old man kind of funny way.....

He was born in Henryville, In, about 15 miles up the road.....I am know his great-nephew...

Back in the mid 1970s, my family went to Claudia Sanders' restaurant in Kentucky. Her chicken was crispy . . . unsure if it was the recipe they adopted for the extra crispy at KFC.

The 1st restaurant was in Corbin.Used to eat there when I was a kid. The secret is Smoked Hocks on Dem beans.

I don't understand the white/dark meat thing. Do people only eat part of a chicken?

I like cheap hotdogs, so I eat the worst parts of the chicken.

Lips and butts?

TAKING ORDERS???

I can't remember what they're called but I know they're really large so I searched them and found them:

I'll have one of those. With nothing on it. To go.

 

[halfmileharry]

Bacon!

Close enough.

I'm sorry, sir. We don't split sets. Would you like to see something else?

 

[Vigilant]

Lips and butts?

Yup!

Ham or no ham?

I will use ham if I have it. I usually chopped up a couple pieces of bacon, fry it until the grease is rendered out and browned a bit then put them in. Some of the family will use some fresh side meat in theirs.

Ok, fixed it for you.

Funny, how kneeling, raising a fist, sitting and staying in the locker room tunnel is disrespectful to the nation and the flag, but maintaining monuments and flying flags, of traitors, to that same nation is not.

I've never commented upon the issue of the confederate flag nor monuments... so I think you're just attempting to obfuscate the obviously disrespectful conduct of the NFL players.

Here's one for you... the protesters have framed this as the social injustice issue "is bigger than the NFL." If so, why play? Want to protest? Don't dress out and hold a press conference in the parking lot explaining why you and your teammates aren't going to play a children's game (football, basketball or baseball) on TV today because there are far more serious issues affecting society.

That is a protest I can respect... when someone puts their money where their mouth is.

It's weird, but true.

However, I admit that I am averse to turkey dark meat. When we have turkey for thanksgiving and christmas, we just do the turkey breast, Much easier too!

Obviously disrespectful to you, not me.

For me, it's, my country when right, not my country right or wrong. So I can imagine circumstances unde which disrespect is appropriate. For example, say the insane left won, and communism DID take root, and as is normal for communism, the US government actually oppressed people. I would not want to stand for that flag.

And I could understand that there was a time I can look back in history, and see that the US indeed oppressed Black people, enslaved them, then segregated them, discriminated against them. I would not blame thise people for not wanting to stand to honor that flag. But that is far from the case now. Now, "oppression" is cultural appropriation, micro-aggression, and all that nonsense. Even the act of stating, that much of the gang violence in inner city is caused by fatherless homes, is hate speech and ks therefor systemic oppression.

Oppression is illegal in the US. Predudice and racism is now individual, not institutional. Singling out and protesting the real instances of unfair treatment of minorities by the police is a reasonable action. But kneeling out the natinal athem to protest "a country that oppresses Black people and people of color" is protesting some nebulous, unidentifiable monster.

The country doesn't oppress prople of color. Some individuals do. That requires a case by case treatment. And it at least requires people to stop concocting societal monsters to attack.

Oh. And why didn't you address the rest of his post. That's the crux of the real disconnect.
