I just happened to have the tv on, and the Baltimore Ravens are getting ready to play Pittsburgh. The announcer says 'please join us in taking a moment to Pray for Equality of All Americans'. The Baltimore Ravens joined hands as a team, and all took a knee. NO Anthem was playing .... and the Crowd, mostly white - still booed.
This JUST happened, so stay tuned as more will be made of this today for sure. Because the Baltimore Ravens crowd just made it pretty clear that they too, are not upset about 'the flag'. They don't want to spend anytime talking about Racial Inequality.
We have a problem on our hands - and it's not going to get better, with white people pushing racism. It's only going to backfire on white people all over the globe. So far it hasn't though, and so they continue to push their hate. Boo'ing players for taking a knee BEFORE The anthem? Really?
Message heard loud and clear Baltimore. Loud and clear.
So @Ravens fans booing their team for kneeling BEFORE and not during the anthem.... what's that disrespectful to? You're all idiots

Why at @Ravens fans booing #takeaknee BEFORE the anthem?
— YzzOne (@guy_next_to_me) October 1, 2017
I don't understand the booing. They stood for the anthem which is what everyone wanted.

So I'm at the @Ravens game and the announcer asks everyone to join the team in a moment of prayer

So the team steps up from the sideline and proceeds to take a knee. Immediately most of the crowd begins to boo

'Merica
They took a knee in prayer for injustice in America. It wasn't even during the National Anthem. People like you are the problem with America

R.I.P. Freddie Gray, Korryn Gaines and all who lost their lives in the City of Baltimore. We know the Legacy of police violence against blacks goes back to the days of slave patrols. We also know unfortunately too many black people have fallen asleep, for the dream of 'equality'. We cannot have equality in a nation like this - unfortunately.
See the Comment section for these Tweets :::
Goes to show anyone who's continued to TUNE out black America. The reason players were kneeling DURING The Anthem, is this nation does not love black people. America's anthem, and the freedoms white people love in this nation do not apply to black people. The problem right now, is too many black people are 'asleep'.
When black people wake up, it's the day white people in America fear the most. Because it's not right, what white people have collectively done to us, for over 500 years. Nothing has changed 'really'. Things Evolved into where we are today; as most people regardless of race are debtor slaves.
However, white people still enjoy 'more freedoms' than blacks do. Just like it was initially, that imbalance exist to keep rich white people rich. It's the same strategy, and formula that's kept America going for all this time. When that anthem is played, that's who it's for - white people.
This nation does not love black people at all. The Baltimore Ravens fans just proved that today.
Update -- White people trolled me; Of course; and also Videos of this have made it o Twitter.
"Join to Pray that we as a nation embrace kindness, unity and justice for All Americans"
and they Boo'd.
The white people in my Comment section - are the same kinds of Evil human beings ... or demons. I'm not sure.
To say the fans are racist is moronic. They're paying big money to go see a sport that's made up of a whopping 70% black players. They buy $100 jerseys with their names on them. NFL fans eat sleep and die football! It's just noone goes to sporting events to see acts like this. It's distracting from the game and taking the joy away from it. Political protests should not be a part of sports, noone pays or cares about that when they go to watch sports. These spectacles are causing more of a divide than there was before. Noones talking about the dam game theyre talking about this crap. Ratings are showing this to be the case..

you also obviously didn't read what I wrote.
But You have decided I am not white - and so you're not going to show me respect. That's just how racist white supremacist think and act.
Had you read this, you'd know that none of these players were kneeling 'during the anthem' --- but being a white supremacist usually means having a LOW IQ. So even though the title says they kneeled 'before' the anthem ---- READING just isn't your mission.
Your mission, is to be as disrespectful as possible to anyone who isn't white - and anyone who does not support white supremacy. I hope These Ravens Fans kneel for the rest of the season WHILE The anthem is playing.
This nation does not respect black people.
The anthem is not for black people.

Pretty obvious; Players kneeling 'FOR PRAYER' --- who get BOO'd ---- were not "disrespecting the nation" --- They try to show RESPECT to the nation; and People like YOU Still call them LOSERS and STILL boo them; b/c you're just a racist white supremacist piece of sh*t.

Look at your comments bud, what are u after with this? Are u better because you can label ppl you don't know as racist? That's a pretty serious accusation to throw on someone you don't know! U are no better than the ppl you're trying to accuse of being racist. Look in the mirror..the enemy is not white people,it's yourself. We don't need this here. Don't try to make problems where there are none, it's clear you're looking to start problems with anyone who doesn't share your own opinions..this is not excerising the right of free speech. Sure there's a divide and there are ppl that don't credit or oppress black ppl but you're going about this the wrong way. All white ppl are not your enemy and belittling the many because of the acts of a few will not get u anywhere. Think about that before you reply calling me racist because you dont know my character or what's in my heart
