    I think it's text speak for OK, but I could be wrong.  I don't speak that language.

    Not K. 

    Being an American is supposed to mean you have the right to criticize the president, and even say you hate him. There are plenty of valid reasons to do so. It just happens that a lot of people also hate him because they are flat out racist. But not everyone who hates him is racist. Just a lot of them.

    Nope, she's just applying the same flawed logic that people are using to say Kaepernick is unpatriotic for sitting during the national anthem, and criticizing the USA, and applying it to people who say they hate the president. Both criticisms should be allowed in the US, without being called unpatriotic.

    If you are free to say you hate the POTUS, and call him a secret Muslim/Kenyan/Illuminati/Reptilian, then Kaepernick is free to do what he did.

    That's not what she's saying at all. Try again.

    No double standard.  What you say about Obama is not comparable to disrespecting the flag and country like Kaepernick has done..................either because he's ignorant of what the lyrics mean or it's simply for attention.  Like a lot of other NFL fans my TV will not tune into a 49ers game except when they play my favorite teams.  And that will be to see the 49ers lose.
