Oftentimes, those underrepresented people making 12 bucks (or less) an hour don't feel they have the freedom to protest. They often feel like they will face repercussions for their actions and not receive any benefit. No one will pay attention to their protest and all that will happen is they lose a job, end up homeless, and become even more impoverished and disenfranchised than before. Because of this, it is extremely important for people that may be in a more privileged position to speak up when they see injustices. That is what must happen in order to see change happen without a revolution.

The 12 bucks could be 15 or 20. Something far less than what a pro football makes.

Point was that a hard working person that takes time out of their lives to go to an actual protest will get more respect from me, as long as they dont cross a line.

Anyways what good has the kneeling that Kaepernick, who wore pro-Castro shirts and pig cop socks, have done? The only discussion it has stirred up is disrespecting the flag. If the intent was to stir up discussion on how an extremely small % of cops out there across the country have unjustly shot and killed a few black guys that werent armed (and a couple of white guys too), then that intent has failed.
