How hard is it to understand this financial institution has close ties to the Military? For cripes sake it's in their name, but no they're racist for protecting their reputation and thus their clients. You don't even understand how free speech and capitalism works. Stay in school, and pay attention in class "Aristotle". Lol.

How hard is it to understand that military folks are cheering on Kaepernick? How hard is it to understand that military folks are cheering on Kaepernick because they understand that what he and Brandon are doing, has nothing to do with any military? The flag is a piece of fabric ---it is not a platoon nor squadron nor any type of military weapon.

How hard is it to understand that military folks who support Kaepernick, can clearly see this bank's racism and xenophobia and deceit, at work here?

It's not as cut and dry as either of us would want, but this bank disagrees with his opinion and is trying to protect their reputation and it's clients. That is not racism. Racism is judging others by the color of their skin and not by their character. This bank is explicitly disagreeing with Brandon's decision, and thus his character. For all anyone knows, there could be POC on the board of this bank that made the decision, and most likely there are and also in employment. This is how free speech works, and folks calling it racist are being disingenuous at best, and straight up fascists at worst. Blanketed cries of racism does nothing to further understanding or positive debate, but instead divides and obfuscates the issue at hand. You aren't doing yourself any favors if this is how you're trying to change the world.

Good idea. I don't think they are the ones disrespecting our flag and our National Anthem. And just maybe they are a decent bank that just doesn't like racist whiney niggers.

The words "racist" and "nigger" in the same sentence boggles the mind. Why would a racist see racism as a bad thing?

It doesn't take much to boggle your mind now does it? We all have some prejudice within us, everyone, I admit mine, you deny yours.
