Another Tasteless Anthem Display At Castlemont High School In California

Castlemont High School was visited by Colin Kaepernick this past week to give a pep talk to the schools football team. The anthem boycott took on a new twist in its demonstration, and it was as tasteless as any I’ve ever seen. The only thing missing was fake blood dripping from the uniforms. Nothing grates more on me is ingratitude. I’m looking at this demonstration and I see tax dollars(taken from white americans earnings) to give these high schoolers an opportunity to learn and play. And what do I see but a demonstration supporting defiant lawless individuals carrying firearms, just because of skin color.

According to Breitbart:

The protest had an unusual twist. While Kaepernick adopted his trademark kneeling posture, the members of the team lay down on the turf on their backs and raised their hands above their heads, to suggest being shot while surrendering to police. Castlemont seems to have been very proud of the visit and the message. The school’s Facebook page featured several posts celebrating the event. One alumnus posted: “Kaepernick came to my alma mater in the hood hood to holler at the youth. East Oakland f***s with you for life. Caaaaastle.”

Is this what our country is all about, Division? I thought we were a melting pot, but it seems like there is a group of people in the community, based on skin color that want to live differently then those comfortable with the laws of the land. It’s as if black’s want a separate country within a country. I don’t think a nation can survive like that. We have to agree on one thing, and that is the American Flag has given opportunity to any that wish to seek it. It has it’s warts and scars, but for a time corrected injustices for the better. But the present administration has helped polorize many a group in the country for the worse, and i just hope we can save what is left of this once great nation. What do you think?
