Comment: [Disrespect is disrespect]
Yes, I'm not asking you if disrespect is disrespect. I asked HOW someone standing at half-mast to draw attention to perceived racial injustices is disrespectful to our country.

[condoning or apathy or encouraging it is cowardly.]
I suggest you learn what "cowardly" means. At this time, I condone and support this method of drawing attention to perceived injustices. I will continue to do so until someone is capable of showing me how kneeling is actually disrespectful. I will voice that opinion where I find it appropriate regardless of it's popularity or who may not agree with my opinion.

They are exercising their freedom of speech, that is their right. They are exercising this freedom in a way that does not interfere with the rights of others. If racists should have the right to protest and publicly spew their trashy anti-American rhetoric, there should be absolutely no problem with this.
