Uh, where? Colin decided to wear a Fidel Castro tee shirt during his press conference prompting this reaction from a Castro-tortured expat: http://ijr.com/2016/08/683250-kaepe...fidel-tortured-gives-him-a-piece-of-his-mind/ Then there's Rodney Harrison's "he's not black" take on C.K: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rodney-harrison-on-colin-kaepernicks-anthem-protest-hes-not-black/
what a fuckin idiot.... "I'm not standing for the flag because of oppression"... while wearing a Fidel Castro shirt. what a dumbass
Correct, they do not have to work harder. Quotas give them an advantage the rest of the populace do not have.
He should get raped by a gang-banger just released from prison. Even better if 5 cops are watching it from a donut shop across the street.
i couldnt agree more, for whatever reason middle aged white middle class men seem to care more about silly things like flags and anthems and all sorts of other propaganda than actual people. i dont understand or grasp it but people are more up in arms about a guy sitting down than if he had been shot. get your priorities straight folks, and dont give me that soldiers died for that flag if you dont like it leave bs. soldiers fought for our right to stand up and say no more when we see shit we dont like. go live in a low income area and then come talk to me about how things happen.
Things you can do in the NFL & not lose fans: * rape * homicide * assault * domestic violence * drugs Things you can't do: * sit down
And what about a more qualified white kid from the same neighborhood that doesn't get into the high school they want because it was filled under a quota system. What about the more qualified white male that doesn't get into the NYPD because they haven't filled the minority quota yet? How is that equality of opportunity?
Difficulty in achievement doesn't equate to lack of availability of opportunity. I'm curious how you can attempt to argue that having to work harder for something than someone these means you lack the opportunity. I didn't have money for college when I graduated high school. Does that mean I didn't have the opportunity to go to college and thus there was a restriction in place that prevented me from attending college? Of course not, it simply means I had to work harder to go to college. But please, explain how that's wrong and simply having to work harder than the next ban means you don't have the same opportunities. I can't afford a Lamborghini, but the opportunity to buy one exists if I choose to sacrifice things like my home and food to buy one. So not being able to obtain something still doesn't equate to not having the opportunity to obtain.
He's standing up for a message that is a farce. In doing so he's disrespecting the lives lost to give him the right to be an asshole and make millions to play a game. If Kaep really cared about black lives he'd be working with people in Chicago trying to figure out a solution to reduce the gang violence that takes many more lives annually than police incidents do. Black lies matter propaganda has fooled Kaep into looking like a real asshole. He probably doesn't even know that more whites are killed by police than blacks. That doesn't tell the whole story because there are fewer blacks than whites, but you cannot just take a straight rate and ignore the number of interactions with police. I'd rather see someone do what Kaep is doing than be violent and destructive like many BLM have been doing, but the idea that police are killing blacks because they're black is simply unfounded.
Plenty of veterans out there are actually supporting Kaepernick. So many other things out there that deserve attention.
