I thought this was about a few guys protesting the treatment of black people.
Didn't bother me so much. A bit Muhammed Ali, who was much despised at the time for his 'unpatriotic' stance, but subsequently lauded.
Sometimes black people are mistreated. So if someone finds a way to make the point, so be it.
On the other hand, the knee-jerk assumption that people who do something wrong to a black person must be animated by race prejudice is something I generally oppose. I treat each case individually.
Insofar as most people are caste as racist, I think we all are. Embedded tribal characteristic, which sports teams also depend upon.
Defining a class of millions of people as victims is something I am reluctant to support. I don't think that was the MLK message either.
