Nobody's "oppressed" in this country. You can only "oppress" yourself in this country. "Oppression" occurs in Cuba, North Korea, China, Venezuela, Somalia, Iran, Saudi Arabia. "Oppression" doesn't occur in the US.

You OK with nazi flags in America? In 2017?
Trump did not bring up racism in his comments on the NFL. Merely respect for our country.
You think protesting racism is disrespectful to our country?
Of all people, professional athletes have reaped the benefits that this country offers more than most. If certain NFL players have a beef, do something about it. Taking a knee doesn't accomplish a damn thing. Real men stand up for what they believe in. Grandstanding. Look at me. Go to the communities and make a difference.

They're doing lots of things. However, they don't have to do any of this in order to protest racism. They can do it anytime, anywhere. Because America. You know, the one all of those dead soldiers fought for.
When someone says "I hate racism", the appropriate response would be something along the lines of "Meeee toooo!", not "You hate America, you son of a bitch!".
