It's not to disrespect the flag, country, service men and women, or anything like that. It's to bring more light on social injustice.

Yes, more white people are killed by police than black people in total number. However, when you adjust for total population, black people are 7 times more likely to be killed than white people. That is something that should be looked into. That is a problem.

People keep wanting to twist the message. Part of that is that Kaepernick has became the poster boy for this protest and he is a total douchebag. However, it is a real issue that needs to be worked on.

They may not be protesting to disrespect the flag, but their prostest is disrespectful to the flag and that upsets people which is 100% why they protest in this manner. Some people don't get that and try to separate what they are protesting and the way they are doing it to make it seem like it's not about that flag, but it is otherwise they wouldn't be kneeling during the anthem. The people kneeling are doing so because they KNOW it is disrespectful to the flag and that will get them/their cause attention. 

If you're trying to get the attention of the guy in front of you and you slap him in the face to do it, you still slapped him in the face...even if you only did it to tell him his shoe is untied
