There was this NFL qb who was protesting this, saying you can’t cheer for us on the field and not give a shit what happens to us off the field. Other players joined his struggle. It was a whole thing. Not sure what became of him. Hey look! Red Zone!
It’s interesting that historically in the US, the “rule makers” say if one of your parents are black, you’re black. But now if it doesn’t fit their agenda, this is considered debatable case by case. Make it make sense.

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." —Malcolm X
