Social Inequalities

People of color being treated poorly

"There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

"The reference to slaves is about the use, and in some sense the manipulation, of black Americans to fight for the British, with the promise of freedom."

"The slave owners, naturally, were furious at the loss of what they thought of as “property,” and sent delegations to the British demanding that the slaves be returned."

Police Brutality in America

19 players off of 10 professional football teams, 1 women's soccer team, one high school team showed some sign of protest during or after the National Anthem

The dolphins joined Kaepernick against police brutality
