NFL players are kneeling to protest police brutality and racism, which is something that is out of control and is proven in the comments. People telling the NFL players to get the f**k out of this country, to go back to their ancestors country. Hell, they have even gone so far as to tell people to "go protest in their own neighborhoods where 33% of their culture don't graduate, 78% of their baby daddies don't stick around after tapping it, where they are responsible for 50% of murders against their own which is only 13% of the population." These comments are extremely rude and racist because not every black person walks out on their children, not every black person drops out of school, and not every black person is a murderer or a convict. Just like the same goes for Hispanics, White's, Asians, Arabs and any other culture. It's reactions like these to the issues of police brutalizing more black people than any other race. And they are right. Police have a bad habit of getting trigger happy when they pull over a black person, they think because they have a badge and a gun that gives them the right to act as judge and jury and take it upon themselves to execute these people, or assault them. And the saddest thing is, they get away with it. Last night, some girl made a fb post about men abusing women, and because a young black male commented on her post stating the truth that it's not just women getting abused that men do also, she called him an "ignorant nigger". When I messaged her personally about her racist comment she laughed, called me a nigger lover and told me to go make dinner for my niglets. I find that very offensive since my child is biracial. Her friend then started calling people niggers in messages. Some light needs to be shed on this situation. Last I knew we are in America where everyone is supposed to have the same rights no matter what race, sexual preference, religion and culture. But when it comes down to it, the only people who are allowed to exercise these rights are white people. Last I knew, the white man came over here and stole this land from my ancestors, so where does that give a white person the right to tell other people to get the f**k out of their country. When did our veterans fight only to defend the rights of the white man. I thought they fought for the freedom of every single American citizen. If nobody is willing to shed light to how out of control racism is, how can we expect to see a change? How can we convince the people that we hear their cries, that we accept them? Too many people are all to willing to just sweep racism under the rug. And racism goes every which way. I know black people who are racist, just as well as white people, Hispanics, Asians, Arabs. It needs to stop. People claim Trump is going to get us killed. Hell, we don't have to worry about other countries killing us, they're sitting back laughing at us killing each other over stupidity. We're doing their job for them. People claim NFL players are kneeling to disrespect our veterans, yet most of them have family that previously served or are currently enlisted. Do Americans not realize that every single person no matter their race, is part of the future of America. Do people not realize that if the racism doesn't cease to exist, the only ones that will enlist to fight for our country are white, because let's be honest, who wants to fight for a country that won't fight for them. Eventually, the white man will be killed off if they are the only ones enlisting to protect our freedom and our rights. All the hatred needs to stop. It's so sad that all of these years after slavery has ended, that racism is still being taught to the next generation. I seriously thought that the great thing about America was everyone was free to be themselves. I'm starting to think I was wrong, and that everyone is lied to in school and life when told we have these rights just for being American citizens. Please help prove to myself and every other citizen that everyone has the right to be treated fairly and equally. And TBH, if this is a subject you refuse to touch, then you're part of the problem and not the solution. We as people need to come together. If we can't, then this country is already screwed.
According to the Lansing Police Department, it is considered a felony to use racial slurs against people. It is considered racial intimidation and is a felony in the state of Michigan. Or that is at least what I was told when a previous landlord assaulted a friend of mine by punching her in the face. When the police showed up, he claimed she called him a nigger, which she did not, so the cops told her that if she insisted on pressing misdemeanor assault charges on him, they would pick up charges against her for racial intimidation. If this law does exist, it needs to be enforced nation wide. People should not be allowed to degrade someone based on their skin color, sexual preference, religion, culture or for being disabled. But unfortunately people deal with this every single day. I'm hoping that if we can get the government to actually enforce this law, that we can finally abolish racism all together.
If it's proof you need, read the comments posted on an article written by Right wing news about the NFL players who knelt on November 12, 2017. Google racism and read the posts that pop up, there are too many proofs about racism out there for anyone to have a reason to try to claim differently.

We the People of the United States of America are calling for all government across the country to enforce racial intimidation laws to protect our people from this type of hatred. Racism has been a major issue for too many years and we are tired of it and ready for it to end completely.
