Poll: Blacks Approve, Whites Disapprove of Anthem Protests
By Mark Swanson   |

Highlighted by an acute racial divide, most Americans disapprove of the national anthem protests among athletes, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.

The overall results:
    Disapprove: 54 percent;
    Approve: 38 percent.

However, the results by race tell a different story:

    Whites who disapprove: 63 percent;
    Whites who approve: 30 percent;
    Blacks who disapprove: 17 percent;
    Blacks who approve: 74 percent.

Yes, it's coming down to a big racial divide in the league itself AND country obviously.  I don't even know if there are any black owners.

If this goes down racial lines, blacks will lose, and lose bigtime.

They happen to be the ones making money as players, it will be gone.

They only represent 13% of the population.  To make the move they are making, they needed a lot larger representation.

What I cannot figure out is there are many fine blacks that serve in the military.  I really doubt the poll numbers reflect their representation, as I cannot easily see them as unpatriotic.

And, they're being marginalized every day by the flood of immigrants rolling in since their boy Obama opened the gates.

I could care less what the BLM crowd thinks anymore. They are just an insignificant group in a very big melting pot.
