>President Barack Obama wants Colin Kaepernick to think about the pain he’s causing military families the next time he takes a knee during the national anthem.
>The president defended Kaepernick and others who have joined him in such acts, which many Americans consider offensive, saying, “We fight sometimes so that people can do things that we disagree with.” But Obama also said people on both sides of the issue should keep open ears.
>“Sometimes out of these controversies, we start getting into a conversation, and I want everybody to listen to each other,” Obama said. “So I want Mr. Kaepernick and others who are on a knee, I want them to listen to the pain that that may cause somebody who, for example, had a spouse or a child who was killed in combat, and why it hurts them to see somebody not standing.” politico.com/story/2016/09/obama-colin-kaepernick-anthem-228880
What a shitty watered down opinion. He's not really speaking out against it and not really defending it.
I can't wait for Trump.

>Think about the pain you are causing military peoples familys
America makes no sense at all, why are you so attached to a song and a flag, don't you see how brain washed you are?!
>WAAAAA he doesn't sing a song about a flag, doesn't he know my dad died in some irrelevant war?!
rather than
>WAAAAA that president sent my dad to die in an irrelevant war
I know its written in a troll way but my sentiment is sincere, you guys are fucked up..

>Being so butthurt over some rich athlete kneeling during the anthem that it causes you physical pain.
I'm not saying I agree with Kaep, but these people need to grow some skin.
Liam Nguyen
>something this one guy said means you're all fucked up
The world is a joke bro, all this shit is just a distraction just like this "le I'm so superior to the US" attitude you have. Like you're not even absorbing what I'm typing because you're already biased to reject it
Gabriel Perez
I'm not superior to any nation..
Tyler Sanders
But your post literally implied the opposite
Owen King
>pain he's causing military families
Zachary Edwards
No the chip on your shoulder made you perceive an implication.
I have legit concern for the working class Americans of all races who are legit brainwashed and buy into all of the distractions you mentioned and wish there was something we (those who aren't part of the brainwash) could do to help them. Thats what my implication was
David Myers
americans are such fucking cucks holy shit
Tyler Murphy
This attitude explains Italy's military record
Jonathan Lopez
King Coon can't leave office fast enough
Nathaniel Carter
>military record
Lol pathetic people don't care about that shit in the real world. I bet you were one of those aspergers kids who sat at the desk with a little map of the world "hurrrr who would win Cesar or Ghengis Khan hurrrrr" the world isn't a game of risk, war isn't cool, its a pile of shit.
Also not Italian, I'm British
Hudson White
It just shows that your people, who don't respect tradition and symbols have been BTFO. Coincidence maybe
Caleb Garcia
its true, we don't have an objective perspective.
all this flag waving shit is north korean tier propaganda.
it used to be that being unamerican was actually betraying your country. now you're unamerican if you criticize it in any way.
Brody Carter
Instead of whining about cops shooting blacks, he should be whining about how blacks shoot other blacks, in far larger numbers.
Blake Rivera
Who's my people? lol
Am I?
>White? >White Irish born in Britain maybe? >Afro Caribbean? >Just some sort of African perhaps? >Indian even? >Arab? >Some sort of blended person?
All I am to you is an incorrect flag, don't presume to know a thing about any user dip shit.
Isaac Morgan
no, it should be both. both blacks and whites believe whites are superior to blacks.
Colton Gomez
You're a cuck is what you are
Ian Collins
Once again an American flag goes back to 'cuck' as its last bastian of defence, obsessed much? Travelling the world as a free man putting your dick in whatever you want is hardly being cucked, the oposite if anything. Give it a go and see if you aren't a less uptight asshole.
Jeremiah Thompson
I don't care about Obama, BLM, or Kap. If families are getting their feelings hurt over this, that's their problem.
Thomas Foster
Real black people, not the hoodrats you see on television rioting or stealing, don't buy into the racial tension and know that everything is controlled by the media.
Grayson Russell
Sorry for our national anthem Major Badass
Ryder Gray
>Lol pathetic people don't care about that shit in the real world Agreed, at least you admit you're pathetic. Not caring about defending yourself and your family or pride is pathetic. Lack of pride also correlates with laziness which again explains southern Europe
Nathaniel Smith
kys faggot
Anthony Thompson
>literally not under attack >literally no threat at all
Wonder why I'm not stressed about defending anyone.
Sebastian Sanders
>Wonder why I'm not stressed about defending anyone Probably high estrogen levels. Males are always on alert, females and nu males with manboobs don't think have a care in the world like children, that's why you have no respect for the military
Owen Hughes
if someone kneeling for a flag hurts your feefees because you had a family member VOLUNTARILY fight for a cause that was almost certainly pointless, you should probably jump off a bridge
Nathan Reyes
Fuck off leaf
Austin Hughes
im sorry did the evil black man hurt your feelings for not standing up for something? do you need to do your pledge of allegiance to make yourself feel better?
Isaiah Watson
>males are always on alert >men are always scared the boogey monster is going to come
NO. Men are logical being who assess the situation, women are the ones who stress out of hypotheticals and go to the worst case scenario automatically.
John Ward
It's an entirely different issue. cops doing it and getting away with it is different than civilians doing it and being charged.
What a shit tier deflection
Christian Watson
>in all of our command Sorry you don't know what patriotism is gord
Blake Baker
what the fuck is that? some weird version of our anthem?
and no, i think patriotism is silly, its literally just a place you were born in. more than that, that had nothing to do with what i was saying. what i was saying is, it shouldnt fucking hurt your feelings because hes not patriotic.
Anthony Nelson
>a false sense of security
Yea we know what patriotism is
Brody Watson
The sheer size of America is what makes it great not its patriotism
Angel Morgan
IF HE AINT BLACK Y DEY PEY HIM SO MUCH IN KONTRACTS WITH 120 HUNDRED MILLI LAST I HERD
HIS MELANINS LEVELS OFF DA CHAIN IF DEY THINK HE WORT DAY MUCH
ITS A GOD GIVN FACT MELANIN THE MOST NUMBER 1 EXPESIFFS MINEROLS ON THE PLANET
4REEL TALK
Easton Edwards
Wrong. Men are programmed to defend the group, this doesn't mean stressing but they are always ready and assessing threats. Women and low T men like yourself don't think about threats, they expect that a man will protect them from any danger. It's biological fact
Leo Richardson
Ameriflags are kinda incredible
Like we have this sentiment here but it's not the consensus by any means.
Brayden White
A suh dude
Lincoln Flores
Lol no you are describing paranoid schizophrenia
As a affluent male currently residing in Italy I can assess the risks to me my family and my neighbours. Will Switzerland Austria or Croatia amass an army to overthrow Renzi and enslave the Italian people? No, no one will invade Italy, there is fuck all here to invade for. I can now relax and conclude the military isn't going to be a whole lot of help to me other than rescuing refugees and digging out collapsed earthquake homes.
Psst pro tip you can relax no one wants to attack Canada either
