I think you suffer from Trump Delusional Syndrome.  Trump interjected HIMSELF into the discussion and, in typical Trump fashion, not only muddied the waters so the original point was covered up but also made it all about himself.

Let's talk about how minorities are treated and ignore the rest of this made up outrage over something that was not intended nor every implied.  Can we do that?  Or would you rather get caught in the trap of HOW the protests happened instead of why while proclaiming your patriotism is greater?

Trump was an idiot to get involved to begin with, I'll explain why below. But the original point of kneeling didn't get muddied up due to Trump. It got covered over because of the act itself. During the 2016 season, there was quite a lot of debate on it going on, and lost during that debate was why it got started in the first place. The debate was over the method. And I even said back then their protest has backfired because no one cares about their message now.

On to Trump. He was an idiot a year later in Sept of 2017 I believe, to lash out at those that kneeled. At that point it seemed the kneeling was subsiding, and was just going to be a fad that will soon fade out.  But then he opened his big mouth about it, and basically threw a keg of gasoline on embers burning out. Since then he made it about himself as I agree and tried to keep the division going on it for his base, rather than just letting it die out on it's own, since he does love his rhetoric.
