Ray Lewis to Kaepernick: I understand what you're doing, but take the flag out of it | UNDISPUTED

[@collegejus]

Shannon gets the A+ for this debate. Well done Sir. :)

[@theadmitler1713]

So does Ray Lewis.

[@Alan_Page]

5:18. “Let’s talk about the issues that Colin is trying to call attention to…”. That’s exactly the point. The method of protest calls most of the attention to the method itself, (and conveniently it calls attention to Colin Kaepernick just as he’s becoming irrelevant), and the issue itself becomes secondary. That’s Ray’s point. So no I don’t think Shannon did a good job in thinking he can just say “let’s talk about the issue” and missing the point, which is that’s exactly the problem with the method of protest. It doesn’t get people talking about the issue. Not only that but associating an issue with a method of protest that itself almost universally offends most people isn’t a good way to garner support for the issue.

I’m an Asian guy (weird how I feel like I have to use that as my defense) but I tend to disagree with Shannon. He is speaking on personal experiences of racism. I think that’s different to saying that America as a whole is racist. I’m Japanese and even here, racism exists. To expect to completely eradicate every type of hate or bigotry seems like a rather impossible task. Especially when people know that’s your weakness.

[@caseywhite8142]

@@88godson88 I agree with you. Even though I’m half Japanese it’s still cool to see someone else from my ethnic background speak on these types of things. I feel that although racism is still a huge issue today, not ALL of America is racist and the majority of us love each other equally, regardless of skin color. However, that goes without saying that racism is still big in many parts of the United States.

Ray Lewis was a coward then and he's a coward now.

In my ex-girlfriend's hometown of Noble, Oklahoma there were two police officers who responded to a call about a snake in a tree. They shot the snake in the tree not with a Shotgun but with their 9mm handgun and the end result was that a 5 year old child got shot in the head. He was fishing with his grandfather in a nearby pond. None of the officers involved were ever arrested or fired from their job. All of them "promised" to resign and never work as a cop again. One of the 3 officers is now working for another police department. If a regular citizen had accidentally shot the kid, he or she would be in prison. Let that sink in for a moment.

That's not true. Only if the person was using the gun illegally would they have gone to jail.

Know that game already This country was built on the subjugation and exploitation of (Black, Natives, snd Asians) without compensation to the Melanin Rich People. Now, following Nazi Germany, People have been corralled into concentration camps called Ghettos. With subpar education, schools with no books, zoning or ordinances to keep poor people out of rich neighborhoods to get a decent education. Yet we still survive fighting each other for meager resources. We know what our problems are in the hood. Don't need Race Soldiers (posing as Cops) killing unarmed black people.

[@ericabelcher8760]

[@2bmckay]

Sometimes we get into situations that we don't understand. Once upon a time people were not ashamed, or embarrassed to say I don't understand. This should have been the time Ray, kept it real and openly admitted he didn't understand what Colin Kaepernick was doing.

[@mikeenwright2622]

Maybe a part of Kaepernick's protest is that the flag does not now represent what US soldiers have fought and died for. Lewis is missing the crucial idea that one's personal integrity must precede patriotism. If your country does not represent the values you stand for, then what are you being patriotic about?

[@guitarman81282]

I think the purpose of pointing out black on black crime is really a statement towards BLM, in other words if it's really about black lifes then why do they not address black on black violence and find a solution to that problem as well as things like police brutality. honestly to me they would be more legit if they tackled issues like that also rather it all be about the police, especially in situations where facts are left out... I've heard stories that really make certain instances bad on the cops then find out more facts that say to me the killing was justified because it truly was in self defense... if a cop unlawfully kills someone then there should be severe concequences for that cop, but at the same time the BLM community shouldn't go crazy everytime someone is killed, get the facts and really look at it and ask yourself was this a unlawful killing, if yes then fight for justice, but if no then let it go

[@BNA_Est.1988]

chris- BLM is just the NAME. the whole "if black lives matter, why..." stance irrelevant. Tamir Rice getting shot by police has nothing to do with a turf war in Chicago. Plus BLM has one focus. There are MANY "stop the violence" groups around. Damn near every black athlete is involved with one. Asking BLM to shift focus away from their purpose is the equivalent to asking Susan G Komen Breast Cancer awareness to focus on Alzheimer's when there already other groups doing so

+D Man Your racist rant just affirms why Colin is protesting. Racism is alive and well in America . Do you think Blacks enjoy talking about being discriminated against, being shot and killed without any repercussions . If you think racism is dead then just read some of the online comments and you will come to understand that it is alive and well. I have been successful and have done everything "you" say we should do to be assimilated in this society and I still face racism. The same racism I faced as a child when my family was told that we could not eat in a restaurant but we could pay for some food at the backdoor . Well I pay my taxes for the right to be an equal citizen of this country . That includes not putting up with veiled threats as you have written here.

Shannon was spot on concerning the matter of the racial divide in America, and i agree with his take on Kaepernick's position. Kap has every right to do what he did, the way he did! If he gets fired, oh well; free speech isnt free. Bringing the Vet's into it blurrs the argument. The conversation isn't about Vet's or the Flag, its about the black experience in America. Race shouldn't make anyone uncomfortable, but it does. That's why I also appreciate Skip's ability to empathize, but most of all, his willingness to LISTEN. Redress of grievances cant occur if no one listens. And just because one party doesnt listen, does not mean there is no grievance. Thank you Shannon, and thank you Skip for showing us how to have a conversation about race in America!

He needs to speak like he is educated on the matter so his knowledge will show in interviews instead of claiming a country with a black president, black attorney general, black congressmen/women, black judges, black lawyers, and black cops are oppressing blacks with little facts while pulling the race card. The police brutality issue deals with all of us, not just blacks. It needs to be pointed out, but disrespecting the country isn't going to unite us. Neither will not sticking up for whites and other minorities being murdered/brutalized by police. It seems like just a knee-jerk reaction from him by what he see's from the media then what is really happening. Also, where is his response to black on black crime that claim more innocent black lives then ANYTHING else? Shouldn't that be more of an issue?? He isn't a spokesmen for fixing this.

It's not just blacks getting treated this way and to make your stance that it is you just defeated yourself.

I for one joined the Army, served my country, got my GI Bill, went to school, got my degree & I have a great career now.

I'm saying that almost all murders happen for a reason, thus a motive is involved. I'm also saying that people have been killed for no reason other than to randomly kill (which in turn is a reason/motive. Nobody said anything about blacks being guilty for being black okay?
