Exactly what form of protest would be acceptable to you?  Minorities protest peacefully on the streets and they get called thugs.  Minority athletes protest quietly by kneeling instead of standing for the national anthem and are derided for somehow disrespecting the flag.  Exactly what form of protest would you find OK?

When you watch a game at home or at a bar/restaurant, do you stand for the anthem, or do you go about your business waiting for the game to begin?

Are you OK with people flying the stars and bars?  That to a great degree is much more disrespectful of our nation and our flag than an athlete kneeling.  The origination of the stars and bars is one of insurrection and ultimately led to the deaths of more than a million of our fellow Americans.  Are you OK with monuments to those same traitors?  Same problem, those monuments are to traitors.
