BallCrusher Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I'm actually surprised all these cavemen who get so offended by kneeling know how to use their phone/computer enough to log in to TR and leave comments. Jesus christ, some of these comments I just read were incredible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But go down it by yourself, assess your own bias, work on empathy, strive to understand and be honest with yourself. And maybe you feel you've done that.I Idon't care where you end up. I care that you try. And, sure, you may not care what I care as a random guy on the internet. But there is zero reason you should expect less of yourself than what I'm suggesting and it's the only real way to assess a dispute accurately. The existence of your objection doesn't self-justify. It simply denotes the existence of a reason to self-analyze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if people would feel differently if they knew that Kaepernick's kneeling came out of a conversation with a veteran who suggested it as a respectful way to protest?

Again, your intent is to educate and your impact is to insult. Maybe you get that and maybe you don’t. Just because you meant to do good is irrelevant though and I hope you're open and honest enough with yourself to understand where I’m coming from too because bias goes two ways.

I'm well aware and don't generally care much because if you're perceptive enough to note it as well, which you claim to be, then you'll let go of the emotional response and still follow through for yourself because the message is accurate ... and if you aren't perceptive enough then the Internet isn't going to be a fruitful means of conversation anyway.

The kneeling was originally absolutely meant as a slap in the face to authority. It morphed and people have a right to protest. I and others also have a right to be offended by it.

Other than dismiss you? If you want to be treated like you don't belong at the table with the grownups then keep acting and talking like the kid at the small table.
