The 49ers black-balled Colin Kaepernick for taking the knee, so it is unsurprising that some people are raising eyebrows at their apparent support for Black Lives Matter.
Killer Mike really gets into his stride, towards the end of this clip, and makes some very pertinent points about the concept of Americanism being born out of violent protests (against the British monarchy) . He very succinctly points out that, therefore, violently or otherwise, to “push back” and claim your right to be heard is a respectful and ultimately patriotic thing for an American to do.
