Too little too late

Ditz Bryant of the Dallas cowboys stated that they will stand for the Anthem for the rest of the season. Sorry, but you blew it. You cannot unring this bell, the announcement was made loud and clear even before last Sunday's mockery Of America.
This country has problems, it will always have problems. When we solve one, it seems we usually create two more. We are sadly fallible humans, not GOD. That said, here is the real problem, Name one country that has a better track record over the last fifty years. In the years since republicans, joined by a few democrats, forged the civil rights reform that ended Jim Crow and broke the liberal strangle hold on the south, we have made massive strides in equality, and the pendulum swung well past center as we have attempted to catch the black community up and bring them into the public sphere. It is not the fault of white America that blacks refuse to take advantage of the opportunities offered.
The NFL today contains a higher percentage of blacks than the general population. Those of you who made that cut have a tremendous opportunity to impact your communities for good. Instead, you are supporting an organization that has, through lies and innuendo, heaped problems on them instead. Their poster children were thugs who in any other group would be held to shame. The lawlessness which they sow have resulted in massive increases in murders of blacks by blacks. How, with that result, can you then claim that black lives matter? If they matter, address the black on black crime. More blacks die in one week in Chicago than are killed in a year by police, and they are innocent lives.
And about that flag, Thousands of blacks, serving in the military died and were returned home under that flag. Thousands of whites also died to secure the rights you now enjoy, for you. By disrespecting the flag you disrespect every Union soldier who fought in every battle from Ft Sumner to Appomattox Court House. Every soldier deserves your respect, or would you rather live under nazism?
Again, name one country that has done better. Then move there.
