Isn't it possible for someone to find offensive someone not respecting the


flag, or overstating the case against police racism, while still accepting that racism certainly still exists and believing that "white privilege", while real, isn't quite the threat to our civilization it's portrayed as? Or is it just a default to argue that if you don't support the kneeling protests for whatever reason you are just a racism and "white privilege" denier, and they're just playing the "victim card"? Could that be because it's the only criticism you have left for those that are offended by those protests, no matter what their reason?

I'm not really bothered by these protests, unless someone whines about how others react to someone's chosen actions, but then I've never had to put my life on the line for this country/flag, been a police officer, or been judged or targeted unfairly simply for the uniform I put on. I can see why others might be more bothered by them, regardless of what skin color the protester has, or what Trump thinks about it.
