The Colors of the Flag and Those Who Kneel During the Anthem

   Consider the colors of the flag, and what they represent. And, think of the NFL players who kneel during the National Anthem.
   Red? The kneelers have the hardiness and valor to stand up for things they believe in -- even in the face of public criticism and, in some cases, being faced with the loss of their jobs.
   White? Purity and innocence? They seek what is right, and pure. The seek a more innocent America.
  Blue? And, blue represents justice? They seek justice. They seek that all people will be treated justly and fairly, and that blacks not be treated unequal to others in our legal system.
  We should not castigate the kneelers. We should look at the Constitution, which gives this people the right to appeal government for a redress of their grievances. When the flag is shown, it is a symbol of America, and it is not so unlike a government representative walking into the room. If you have a grievance, and the person you have the grievance against walks into the room, it is natural and fitting that at that time you should ask them about your grievance. That is all that they are doing. Bless them.
