As someone who stands during the Pledge of Allegiance (raised by a Jim Crow vintage grandmother who always stood on arthritic knees and nerve-damaged feet when it played on TV), I'm not angered by NFL player Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand during this national tradition.
He said of this national tradition, "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." Young men his age, regardless of wealth, often air a "Mississippi Burning" view of America as if no progress has happened. It's part of a calculated hostility which must be deleted.
