This entire response was a pretty big pile of bullshit. You’re great at making false equivalencies, but everything else is a dumpster fire.

There is far more than “nebulous circumstantial evidence” to suggest Donald John Trump is a racist. From his father being in the Klan in the early 1900’s to discrimination of his apartments in the 1970’s to his full page ad calling for the execution of innocent men in the 1980’s to saying he only trusted jews, and not African Americans, to count his money in the 1990’s to his current racist rants at everyone not the same as he – dude has shown his true colors for decades.

I believe Miss Cleo was a fortune teller, not a mind reader, so her inclusion is curious.

And you know that; the underlying sentimentality in this country about the anthem and the flag are very strong, and anyone who disrespects those symbols quickly becomes a pariah.” Tell that to Tommie Smith and John Carlos, whose raised fists offended Americans at first, but have now become a welcome symbol of bravery to tell the power establishment to go pound sand.

Sorry that Shawn King and Colin Kaepernick have upset your world by fighting for justice. It must be tough to be such a delicate flower in such a harsh world.
