Trump is a racist, plain and simple, as he's demonstrated repeatedly. It's not disrespecting the flag or the country or anything else to take a knee in protest over police killings that go unpunished, which started the protest movement in the NFL and which continues to be a stain on our nation today. Black Lives Matter is about cops killing unarmed African-Americans for no justified reason, not the other way around. Anyone casual reader of the news can see that. Only those who tolerate unequal treatment and taking away civil liberties support Trump. We didn't fight wars so people could stand for the national anthem. They were fought to preserve democracy and the constitutional right to protest against government policy. The NFL players who are exercising that right are more doing their patriotic duty to ensure there really is "justice for all."
