RBG vs. Kaepernick



By now most of us have heard about NFL player Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the national anthem. He did this to show his solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

It's a touchy subject, but Kaepernick's actions brought up good issues and started a national debate on whether or not he was being disrespectful to the flag.

One person who thought he was is Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. According to Ginsburg, his actions were "dumb and disrespectful."

Donald Trump agrees with Ginsburg. He has previously said that Kaepernick should "find a country that works better for him."



Let's not forget that Kaepernick's display of peaceful protest is both lawful and has helped bring up important issues that need discussed.

First post!



After last night's debate, it seems like I could fill an entire blog with problematic things that Donald Trump has said. Perhaps that is a project for another time, but here are some great links that address the problem:



This post is just to welcome everyone to the blog and explain what I'll be posting about! 

This blog addresses the problematic things that celebrities do as they occur. Issues that will be highlighted include: racism, sexism, cultural appropriation, body shaming, etc., etc.
With enormous platforms, celebrities have the power to influence millions of people- in good ways and bad. Partially for accountability and partially for exposure of these people, Problem Culture will update the public on these actions.

Keep checking back for more posts!
