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.

This racism is not in the banks' real time, act, but in its deceitfully-dishonest reasoning and rationale which they unethically concocted to terminate his endorsement deal. The racism exists within how the bank treated the fact, I repeat, treated the fact of why Brandon kneeled ----and then they deceitfully morphed it into their angle so to illegally breach their contract.
There is no way possible that the bank would have did this unethical act, had Brandon been a Euro-Cauc HISP-Cauc Arab-Cauc or lightskin negro.
