I get aggravated when people like LeBron James say Trump is "dividing" America due to his opinions on the national anthem protests.

The people taking a knee during the anthem are the ones beginning the divisions. They started it. That's the divide. Trump saying what millions of others agree with isn't dividing us.

Fake outrage over things that make no sense. That's why the Democratic Party isn't in positions of power.

If that's the case, why is it that after Trump's remarks, NFL teams and owners, some of which even include Trump supporters, were kneeling in record numbers?

In all honesty? I don't know. I think it's an awful business decision. Maybe they feel white people will get over it while if they don't stand with their players then the players may walk.

Voted A on the first two, no opinion on him calling people SOBs.

"They started it" doesn't absolve Trump of responsibility for the effect of his own statements. The issue was created by players kneeling, but Trump's over the top reaction to it made the issue even more polarizing. It's not like only one person can be divisive at a time.

HisGrace, there is no legitimate issue here. Okay? The issue is, the African American community is in shambles. They have the highest dropout rates, the highest crime rates, the highest murder rates, the highest out of wedlock birth rates...the list goes on and on and on.

And it's not Hillary Clinton's fault, it's not Barack Obama's fault, it's not Donald Trump's fault...it's their fault.

You hear these people on the left saying "Whites don't care when a cop shoots a black guy!" You want to know the truth? Whites also don't care when a cop shoots a white guy.

Remember the YouTube comedy clip of "Indifferent White Guy"? It's a parody but it's a funny parody for a reason:

Whites are indifferent when it comes to criminality. They have rejected it out almost outright. If it wasn't for my screwed up millennial generation, things would be better and Trump would have won a Reagan-style victory.

African Americans keep protesting things that make no sense. You can't get angry when there is a justified police shooting. I'm tired of it. Why not get angry at the violence and black on black crime in places like Chicago?

Wow.
Why don't you tell us how you really feel.

It's the stupidest thing ever. It's this younger generation and their inability to understand reason.
