Salute to Colin Kaepernick: Kaepernick sits during national anthem

Symbolism is a terrible thing.
"But, But, he's disrespecting the Country". Everyone that was so quick to get on Colin including the black players have to be looking in the mirror like dummies now. Nobody is saying you can't have an opinion but most of people going at Colin NEVER spoke out on police violence brutality and injustice. This is going across mutiple sports from High School, College and Pro.
Also Kroger Supermarket sent a Black Teen home on "JERSEY DAY" for wearing a Keapernick Jersey because a customer complained (Most likely White). SMH, he should get back pay for the day and look for another job because it's obvious if they sent him home that quickly he's working for suspected White Supremist:
Kroger Apologizes to Employee Sent Home for Wearing Colin Kaepernick Jersey on 'NFL Jersey Day' | EURweb
Shyt been happening a lot at work....last time this happened was right before Obama was elected...
Funny thing is...Im doing the same thing...no NFL for me because of the Colin shyt...but obviously Im on the other side..
off topic a bit, but the first comment sorta annoys me, that's almost like going to a fund raiser for breast cancer and going " why aren't you raising money for colon cancer"
as for the second comment, that's just ignorance. Freedom of Speech applies to the government not being able to throw you in jail for saying something. it doesn't apply at all to a company or a sports league deciding to suspend a player for something that is detrimental to the league. Just like if the 49ers decided to suspend Kaep they'd be well within their rights.
All he's doing is deflecting. We never see any of these outbursts when we see protests for other causes. Imagine telling gay protestors "well, why not protest STD's and AIDs in the gay community!!!" It's retarded.
They're only coming out their skin cuz it has to do with black people.
Police are the biggest p*ssy cry babies I have seen.

I mean, just by being black in America, my opinion on police was never great, but recently it's gotten even worse.
I never knew police were such pussies before now. I knew a lot of them were racists and uncle toms, but I never knew the entire police force has this crybaby, take my toys and go home if you ever criticize me, mentality. I didn't think police were so mentally weak and easy to hurt their feelings.
Even back in the Civil Rights days, the police force never stopped working at Cleveland Brown games or Ali fights just because Jim Brown and Ali criticized the justice system.

I never cared for them while a majority(
) of people put them on a pedestal like they're some heroes. They CHOSE to do be police officers and they can't even do it well. fukk them.Police have been held to god-like status. After 9-11 it got ridiculous. They are literally rockstars. Can do whatever they want because they know the public will be on their dikks. This Kaep situation basically throws up a giant _|_ to them and they can't seem to contain themselves since they're so used to getting sucked off by everyone.
Police are here to protect white people. Is it not evident by how they are acting?

Breaking News: TULSA, OK. Unarmed Black man killed by Tulsa Police had car trouble on the side of the road and was shot to death. The cop "Claimed", "He was reaching" for something. Tulsa, OK where "Black Wall Street" happen, has strong racist history. The more it happens the more Colin is vidicated:

has nothing to do with them being pussies, it's all about them putting on that united front...even if some agree with kaep and think some of their fellow officers are pieces of shyt, they dont say shyt in public/put their business out there...they show that strong, united front, and handle that shyt internally....it's the same shyt you see most organizations, people, etc. do...one of the main groups of people that doesnt do it like that: us (blacks)....and that's something we need to change...not cause it's the right thing to do, but cause it's the way to protect yourselves from outsiders....once outsiders see a 'crack', they attack that until the whole thing breaks apart....
another thought i've had: i really hope people of color are paying attention and taking notes to the difference in reactions to a couple of protests right now....the couple i'm talking about: kaep's and the lgbt protest about the 'bathroom' law in nc....one is getting met with vile criticism, hatred, resistance, etc.; while the other is getting met with compassion, cooperation, business backing, etc...besides the obvious main reason kaep's is getting shytted on cause it's about helping people of color, the most important thing i hope we're paying attention to: money talks...the lgbt community has put their money together and backed people in powerful positions, and those people are getting shyt done for them...seriously, do you think all the powers that be really care about the lgbt community? hell naw, but they do care about money and power....and the lgbt community has shown them that if the powers that be fukk with them, they will affect both of those things....that's something we (blacks) need to pay attention to, take notes on, and start putting into action....
prime example of what i'm talking about: the nba....the same nba a lot of brothas on here been praising about being down for us (which needs to stop), has shown they arent...just look at their actions....donald sterling has been a piece of shyt for a long time...there were plenty of examples he was a racist piece of shyt including the largest housing discrimination settled lawsuit ever....but the league was cool with him...even though top players said something, the punk ass clippers had they bullshyt demonstration, etc.; it wasnt until outside businesses started to threaten the bottom line, that they took action...even then, they sent him off with a $2 billion payoff....now fast forward to recently...the league gave it's employees (wnba players) t-shirts to wear after the orlando shooting and moved the all-star game in support of the lgbt community....while at the same time, the league fined those same employees (wnba players) for wearing shirts supporting blm, and moved the all star game to a state with a recent police killing of a brotha caught on tape....it shows they dont give a fukk about us (blacks) even though we are the main ones making them money....i hope the players are taking notice of that....unlike football, the players in the nba have so much power that they could be using to help initiate change....and i aint talking about just making a speech...
...i apologize, went off on a tangent...the main point i'm making: we gotta start using our money to buy power by buying people in power positions...cause their love for money is greater than their hate for us....

Defend a person charged with assault and domestic violence but criticize a Woman standing up for the rights of innocent human beings being murdered in the streets Breh's
frank is a retard, I like some of his takes but then in a while he tweets dumb shyt like this
Breh, you said so much, without talking much. Too many black people don't get this. We are the only group who criticize our own publicly so often. In a perfect world this is morally correct but in a white supremacist world it is reprehensibly incorrect.
