The recent wave of protests during the National Anthem that was sparked by Colin Kaepernick's "taking a knee" before San Francisco 49 'ers football games has become a hot issue around the country as thousands of other fans and athletes across the country are starting to do the same thing. Every week the protest spreads and so does the vitriol against it. In fact, I'm starting to believe the vitriol is feeding the movement, and what has started out as a protest against the oppression of Black Life is going to eventually take on a larger set of social issues as the vitriol mounts.
If this is true - that vitriol is feeding the protest movement - then this movement is going to become a monster, because the likes of Donald Trump have clearly demonstrated that a lot of Americans are frustrated and hate-filled. As a result, the people who line up against the movement may risk being on the wrong side of history.
Just my 2 cents.
