    Why'd you put protest in quotes?

    It’s not just your flag.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    I think the people criticizing Drew Brees are a bit hypocritical. He voiced his opinion about an action based on what the flag means and represents to him. He got criticized heavily for not understanding what that action meant to other people. However, at the same time, those other people failed to listen and understand what that action meant to him.

    Could you clarify what your problem is with what Brees said?

    An honest conversation is not being sought. You must shut up and listen, and apologize for the color of your skin.

    Not to mention the faction who demands that we be more tolerant arent very tolerant of other people views at all.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    No one accused him of disrespecting anyone either.

    Colin Kaepernick has a retweet on his twitter account with a picture of Drew Brees and the caption: This shows you that there are a lot of people & companies out there right now that will say they stand with us but only do it so they dont get bashed not because they mean it. https://twitter.com/kaepernick7

    His latest tweet:

    When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction.

    The cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears, because your violence has brought this resistance.

    We have the right to fight back!
