[@mmiller7615]

Sharpe handled Klatt. He exposed Klatt's lack of understanding and rush to judgement that is prevalent in most of the people who have a problem with what Kaepernick did. It is disrespectful for White people to criticize all forms of protest that Blacks engage in. They criticize when people riot and destroy things (Ferguson), but also reserve the right to criticize a peaceful protest (kneeling for the National Anthem). It is clear that these same people who criticize protests really would like Blacks to not protest at all. The only protest that will satisfy these people is no protest.

[@FallacyUnknown]

[@PillzBerry27]

Exactly my friend.

[@danerook]

it is NOT disrespectful

[@zenmasta1260]

People are supposed to learn and gain a new perspective in these type of discussions. This doesn't make Joel Klatt wrong it just makes him ignorant of certain things. There is a big difference between a peaceful protest like what Colin Kaepernick did and the rioting and looting that took place in Ferguson and Baltimore. Anyone with a sane mind would criticize rioting and looting do you realize how many minority business owners were effected by that?

[@mmiller7615]

Zen Masta​ I agree. A reasonable person would criticize a violent protest, but what kind of person criticizes a peaceful protest? I never said that a violent protest was right and obviously I am aware of the fact that minority businesses were effected by the rioting. Klatt should not speak about issues in which he has limited or zero knowledge. If you are ignorant on the topic presented, you should not volunteer to speak about it on a National platform. It only adds to the problem. We have enough ignorant and counterproductive narratives out there. It was by design that Klatt was chosen by the show to speak on this issue. They wanted someone to present a contradictary opinion even if it made that person look ignorant and unprepared. Afterall, it is a debate show. They want to continue the topic because discussions on Race always attracts viewers.

I disagree completely. In my opinion, What Collin did is disrespectful to the country in my opinion. Just like Klatt said, when you kneel during the anthem, it becomes about the flag and country instead of the actual issue. Although what he did got a lot of attention, I feel like there could of been another way where he could protest without the possibility that it could be viewed as disrespectful towards the country or people like veterans who fought to make the country as good as it is. Obviously there is still a lot more work to do though. Because this has to change

I'm just glad that we get to talk about race like this. These open conversations with a level of understanding for the man sitting across from you is really amazing. Using words rather than violence. Of course, easier said than done.

[@orlandow1723]

You're proud of Seattle for standing arm and arm but you're not proud of Kaepernick for starting it off?

[@Officialkingofallkings]

White supremacist mindset

[@larapeterson260]

He was suggesting that his initial reaction was shaped by the world he grew up in. His "lense". We all have one. I think he and Shannon both support Kaepernick. If you want to discuss something with your wife or girlfriend, you don't lead in with an insult. That's essentially how he viewed Kaepernick sitting for the anthem. (He was insulted and initially did not want to hear the message). It does not make you a racist because you get offended about something you view patriotically. We need change in America. No doubt!!

[@Deep.Purple]

This isn't an honest discussion if you leave out the facts.

[@mauricedavis1740]

Lara Peterson people gotta stop hiding their racism behind patriotism. That’s been happening for too long now and it needs to stop..

[@Passion-X]

COONHUNTER #1 It may not feel like special privileges to a person that never has to think about being White, that IS the privilege... a black person always has to think about being Black ... this skin impacts every thing and everyone... which is the discussion Shannon is having... the guest only talks about the flag and his father’s service... Black people fought and died too.. but when they came back was met with Jim Crow., more racism etc...

[@lesliestafford6566]

something has really troubled me about this conversation. I talked to an older white gentleman at lunch who asked me my opinion about the subject, to which I replied I think it's very serious life or death issue; he went on to say how he didn't think the football field was a place to make a "political view". It dawned on me that all of the white people that i hear comment on this have been commenting abouts a political point when it's about bloodshed and loss of lives to black people... I guess I'd no one is shooting ppl that look like u or your children, u have the luxury to have that view

[@lesliestafford6566]

"if no one" that is..

[@FullBody]

holy shit that's scary

[@onebuffalo5402]

Given you have a bigger issue of the people that look like you that shoot at you and your children more so than the people who dont look like you.

[@FullBody]

timabuf that's not what he's talking about

[@TheWeasleMMA]

You don't know what some white people have gone through. I'm white but my family didn't have that luxury, get educated. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with culture.

[@nickharriell4180]

I love how Skip let Shannon hold his own. The trust he has for Shannon to articulate these tough conversations is just beautiful and more deep than people actually understand. The fact that on this live and very public broadcast here it is a white man of Skip’s magnitude has much respect for the voice and ideology of a black man from rural South Georgia. It’s just beautiful. THIS is what America should be.

[@aronherbert5916]

Shannon just killed that man's argument

[@stephenstaedtler6902]

Not really. Shannon just spoke loudly and tried to overpower him and the leftist networks would have went after Klatt or any conservative who said what they really felt.

[@elisularias9644]

This guy is an ignorant dude. 18 yr old kids not ready to talk about a question of this magnitude? we're not talking about 8 yr olds here. We're talking about 18 yr old men that can chose to go to war and kill, but aren't ready to talk about EQUALITY FOR ALL PEOPLE? gimme a break. Society and in particular white people and this guy just don't want to talk about the issue they just want it to blow over per usual. Enough of that. What Kap is doing is great along with any other individual that chooses to take this stand. This issue is BIGGER than football!

[@leonidays898]

Completely agree. Our country thinks that at 18 we are mentally mature enough to sign our life away to "fight for our freedom" but in reality we are only in war for large corporations to make more billions. Yet our government punishes teens if they drink, smoke, etc. And and now White mainstream media even socially shames teens for choosing to start a dialogue regarding Black inequalities. I rather teens talk about theses real issues versus topics like latest fashion trends.

[@Mexico013]

Your brain isn't fully developed until age 25, 18 year olds aren't really men

[@elisularias9644]

ok sure. The point is at the age of 18 you can chose to go to war and fight for freedom and kill. So at the same token there more than capable of discussing Racism and everything that comes attached with it.

[@momoney4467]

What about teens like Paul O'Neal and Michael Brown?......If you are old enough to be an unarmed teen that killed by a cop or by another teen for that matter, why shouldn't you be able to talk about it and voice your opinion? Aren't they the subject matter anyways? I'm just saying!!!

We as blacks need to stop trying to make people uncomfortable and more understanding. I'm not saying we change but Shannon being demeaning does not forward the conversation it just makes Joel agree to move on not actually agree and mean it

[@jmcghane]

Eagles Fan It best that it is uncomfortable because Shannon for instance is telling the hard cold truth of whats going on. It may be uncomfortable for them but they'll going to have to put on their big boy pants and take it. As I said Klatt handle himself very well where maybe others like him wouldn't.
