as we were waiting in line to pay for groceries. I say something like I wonder if my fav team shows up to play today, 'meaning if they came to play' and he goes on a rant about how he lost respect for the players for taking a knee and I lost it. Told him loud enough for all to hear me, that this has nothing to do with patriotism or the flag but everything to do with police killing black people with impunity. He tried to tell me that all those are investigated and I had to shut him down on that with a loud BULLSHIT. I noticed a lot of people were listening to our exchange and I seen many more smiles directed at me than frowns

fuck these ignorant bastards

They truly believe they are right and those of us that demand equal rights for all are deemed as some crazy communist liberal Kenyan muslim.

Looking in the face and telling them "BULLSHIT" for all to hear is the only way we will be heard. Screaming at them will never work. Looking at them in the eyes and saying "BULLSHIT." Scares the carp out of them and people hear that.

I used to stand there not making waves in public. It is too serious now. I am a tsunami when I hear Dotard fans spewing lies. Silence implies agreement. Keep speaking up.

that they are changing this to a flag/military protest when it is nothing of the sort. The eternally brainwashed believe it because they want to. The divide in this country is just getting deeper and wider.

These folks hate/fear/despise black folks... except the ones they know who "don't act black". I have lived all over the US and prejudice and racism are everywhere, it is just more subtle in some places than others. Trump has simply allowed these folks cover. Let's remember, these racist fucks we're not created by 45, they were emboldened by him to let their true colors fly.... usually in the form of stars and bars.

... not insult me in the least. (2 enlistment veteran) What's insulting is politicians and blowhards who have never worn a uniform saying it insults me.

But our relatively recent "soldier worship" (really bad since 9/11 and half the vets since then didn't fight against the lunatics who did that) now makes honoring the veterans a super convenient sound bite.

I like your "insulted by telling me when i'm insulted" line. (Paraphrasing of course) That's really good!
