Has it stopped the black on black crime?

Was that his stated objective in kneeling?

I'm not quite following what your point is...

If he/they are kneeling to protest the injustice towards the black person I assume that included ALL the injustice. The biggest cause of death for young black males is other young black males. Has the protesting reduced this number. It has not, blacks rate for murdering other blacks is going up, the likelihood of innocent blacks being gunned down by other blacks in there own neighbor hood is going up. There is a major problem that needs to be addressed and kneeling and showing disrespect for this country is not getting it done. While they are taking a knee, the black community is being shot to death and all this grandstanding will not solve that.

No need to guess or assume why they do it. When athletes first kneel they're almost always asked about their decision to do so.

You can look up your favorite players and find out why directly from them without guessing.

I could care less why they choose to show disrespect to this country.
