Now, with that being said, I think Kaepernick and others have made a dumb argument. After all, Betsy Ross is why we have a general design for our flag. By asking Nike to pull it, Kaepernick has essentially allowed the KKK to hijack our history and rewrite it with their own version. I agree with you. If Nike wanted to do something really positive they should have sold the trainers and given the proceeds to the NAACP. That would have taken the symbol back from the KKK and sent a whole different message.

The declaration of independence does stand for something. It is up to us to make sure it and all citizens are protected. The only thing about the flag is when we were in school, they told us lies pertaining to it.

We need to be informed, but we can no longer afford to grant hero status to those symbols
