Colin Kaepernick explains why he doesn't stand for the National Anthem, Part 2

Is Colin white adjacent?

Kickoff in 40 minutes

Who cares about black lives or any lives mattering. Does he have a nice ass?

Sexy brotha

Kaep booed by San Diego fans as he starts as QB

He just successfully led a scoring drive to take lead over Chargers

OBV he's "woke" look at his hair.

So how is he playing now? Did the booing continue?

And I swear I went up and down my Cablevision line up to look for it but uber-gay that I am I swear I could not find it.

He's anti-HRC, so he is just fine with me.

I'm sick of him. Colin is ungrateful and obviously hates his adopted parents AND his country.

AND you R11.

When he was in high school, major college teams passed on him and he ended up at a lower tier school, Nevada. One of the reasons why one particular major west coast school did not end up recruiting him is because something was off about his personality and it scared them away. Later on when he briefly became an NFL star, that school's fan base began making noise at the coaches about why they passed on him.

R13 - So you're clearly making that up. You must really not know college football if you think a player's personality being "off" is any kind of roadblock to being recruited by a major school.

[quote]I'm sick of him. Colin is ungrateful and obviously hates his adopted parents AND his country.

You really are just a fucking pos. When hypocritical cunts like you listen to Trump and his klan rallies talking about America not being great, do you say they don't love this country? Didn't think so. A scumbag who makes all of his garbage outside of this country because HE hates this country and doesn't want give to it, is a "true American."

Colin is allowed to say this country isn't great right now, because of people like YOU - and he's right.

Kudos, R15 . Trump says every day this country is a dumpster fire, and everyone's blowing him. Hypocrisy on display.

Yeah, because the NFL and college football is really known for having high standards when it comes to their players. Anytime i see a bullshit post like R13's, it makes me sick to see the type of roaches who have found DL since their hard-on for Trump started.

[quote] One of the reasons why one particular major west coast school did not end up recruiting him is because something was off about his personality and it scared them away.

You mean to tell me that a sport that accepts and even celebrates dog fighters, rapists and wife beaters thinks there is something so off about this guy that they want nothing to do with him? Is that what you're telling me?

R18, I think what R13 is really trying to tell us is that he himself is off and really, just a worthless asshole.

He's a hero. Black people applaud him

Colin's pig socks just proved my point. I am not alone, thanks to Twitter I KNOW everyone else thinks Colin is an ungrateful ass!

Twitter? A place full of right-wing idiots claiming liberals trying to silence them...on Twitter? A platform created mostly by liberals? That where you heard "everyone" agrees with you? You live in an echo chamber - not everyone agrees on everything, half-wit.

Eric Reid joined him in protest

There is nothing better than seeing white people clutch their pearls when a proud black man stands up for his dignity and the dignity of all people of color. White supremacy's 500 year reign of terror is coming to an end because the world's oppressed peoples are finally waking up.

I know, right

White conservatives are so scared of people of color getting justice

R24: What is dignified about a man wearing pig socks?

Scared them away? Please, that's a bit dramatic. It was probably the negations.

So dumb, so pretty. There's a better way to protest. Walk with the BLM during one of their protests. Do a PSA supporting the movement. I think refusing to stand during the Anthem makes a person look petulant and entitled, and it's makes it very difficult to empathize.

What is the big deal about standkng during a song? Grow up

I was far too distracted by Nate Boyer's rugged gingerness to care one way or the other. He looks like a midget standing next to Kaepernick.

Damn, he's getting uglier by the minute!

The man acts and looks psycho.

I'm white and I hate how many white racists post here.

[quote]What is the big deal about standkng during a song? Grow up

Enh. I used to think like this too. When was I in high school. But too many people have died in service. Too many. And no matter how I feel towards the government and law enforcement--and I get it, believe me--I just think it's a disservice to those people not to stand.

So...it's not "Just a song" and the people who refuse to stand need to do the growing up.

Seahawks' Jeremy Lane sits too

It's not about the military. It's about injustice in this nation

[quote] Colin is ungrateful and obviously hates his adopted parents AND his country.

Yeah, obviously. If you can't enjoy your own good fortune without wanting good things for the less fortunate, you are ungrateful. If you want justice and equality for minorities, you hate white people, even when they are your own parents. If you'd like to see your country improve, you hate it. There can be no other way to look at this situation.

What part of the first amendment do you folks not understand? People who say this "disrespects our troops" seem to forget the rights and ideals that our troops actually fight and die for. Hint: they didn't die to squash protests or inhibit anyone's freedom of speech. They died for democratic ideals such as those enshrined in our constitution, including the right to protest, dissent and abstain.

And the national anthem is actually not for our troops. It's for the nation as a whole. Kaepernik's protest has NOTHING to do with "our troops." Saying otherwise just shows your own ignorance and bias.

R37, if you truly felt "too many people have died in service" you should protest our wars and foreign policy and not try to quell righteous dissent at home. Your priorities seem a bit messed up.

[quote]I am not alone, thanks to Twitter I KNOW everyone else thinks Colin is an ungrateful ass!

Well, except for the veterans who have been tweeting using the hashtag "VeteransforKaepernick."

I must confess that white gay racists make me feel glee when a gay white is bashed and called "nasty fag."

Well you are at least as fucked up as our other racist posters, R43. I support Kaepernik and BLM, but your homophobic comment cheering gay bashings is way out of line. You are not helping the cause with that line of thinking. Check yourself.

Why do people keep on mentioning the Bureau of Land Management in these threads?

R45 lol

Why "lol", R46? I'm asking a serious question.

Well, I like White gays that are woke about racism

To clarify, R46, I know the BLM has been the target of white nationalist ranchers in the Western United States, but I don't realize the connection to Kaepernick. Had he targeted the ranchers or have they targeted him?

Don't overdo it, Emily Litella at r47.

I love you R45

"BLM" stands for "Black Lives Matter"

You don't make that distinction at R43, R48. You just said you feel "glee" when white gays are bashed and called "nasty fag." So I guess you'd be pretty happy when my woker white gay ass gets bashed.

Why would you ever feel "glee" over homophobia? Or any senseless violence? Seriously, you need to examine yourself. The word "fag" is disgusting; you have some serious issues if you cheer when someone uses it while bashing someone.

[R37], if you truly felt "too many people have died in service" you should protest our wars and foreign policy and not try to quell righteous dissent at home. Your priorities seem a bit messed up.

My "Priorities" seem messed up? First of all, who the fuck are you to tell me about MY priorities. Second of all, you sure make a lot of assumptions about someone you don’t know because that’s what all sanctimonious pricks like yourself do. If we don’t see things YOUR way then we’re wrong.

And who the hell mentioned anything about denying first amendment rights? Nobody said he doesn’t have the right to protest. I said, you look like an asshole when you refuse to stand up. Not one word about constitutional rights was mentioned in my post.

By all means, you have the right to look like an asshole and not stand whenever the National Anthem is played.

And If you think the anthem’s origins have nothing to do with war and “Our troops,” you’re also a deluded sanctimonious prick.

If you want anyone to take you seriously, you have got to crawl out of your own ass, man.

How long can this same thread go on for?

[quote]My "Priorities" seem messed up? First of all, who the fuck are you to tell me about MY priorities.

A person commenting on the internet, snowflake. Just like you.

[quote]If you want anyone to take you seriously, you have got to crawl out of your own ass, man.

Sage wisdom from someone who has a meltdown over a person disagreeing with their stupidity on the internet.

Perhaps he thinks the song is about him like Queen Elizabeth?

I love you, R41 & R 42! My dad, a combat veteran of WW2 and Korea, says the same thing you do. As a character on the TV series Leverage put it:

[quote]See, that's the difference between a real soldier and this little Halloween outfit you got going on. You'd kill to protect your rights. [bold]A real soldier? He'd die protecting somebody else's.[/bold]

Meanwhile as everyone else is praising Colin, how many dead black people will there be at the hands of black men this weekend?

What a weirdo!

[quote] What a weirdo!

A red one?

All this could have been avoided if white people knew how to accept half blacks as family. Colin was not accepted by his white side. The white race will continue to dwindle in influence and pure blacks also will lose in number while biracials and Latinos will become the future face of America. Not white or black but brown, baby.

R58, that's irrelevant to the issue of injustice by the state

Why, R62?

[quote]Latinos will become the future face of America. Not white or black but brown, baby.

And it won't be pretty, given their Jewish bosses.

#BlackLivesMatter is Bullshit (Addendum)

Intelligent, thoughtful and not afraid to speak his mind... I fucking love this guy.

Hey R24....would you please tell us what the world wI'll look like when all the world's oppressed poc's are woke? And also tell us how you will personally benefit?

R41...why are you appealing to the first amendment? US Constitution is racist. Aren't you woke? Besides first amendment prohibits government action against speech. Doesn't say that crowds can't boo political speech by others. I know....once again the system is rigged for the white racist regime.

Could you grandpas get over your fetish about your "new" word, woke?

Please r61, haven't you heard of Apartheid? There will be no problem keeping the non-whites "down", lol can you imagine the messes if non-whites managed scientific research, hedge funds and most importantly corporations? You amuse me.

What's his skin color?

he a THICCCCCCCCCCC redbone

Stay woke bro

[quote]What a weirdo!

Eat it.

The KKK can go around in their hoods and it is free speech, Neo Nazis can march in Jewish neighborhoods and it is free speech, Westbro Baptist Church can hold signs that say God hates Fags at service-men's funerals and it is free speech, but a probably washed up black football player decides to stay seated during the national anthem and America collectively loses its mind.

Groupthink is dangerous

People wear headphones to tune out co-workers in every office in the land...

Yeah, weirdo loners do that.

And he is filthy rich partly because he has endorsement deal with Beats headphones

He must have been listening to The Star-Spangled Banner.

Friday, September 02, 2016 03:58PM San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced plans to take his peaceful protest against racial injustice and police brutality "a step further" at a postgame news conference Thursday night.

Kaepernick, 28, who has refused to stand during the national anthem at two NFL preseason games, said he would donate the first $1 million he makes this season to organizations assisting communities affected by racial injustice and police brutality.

He said he wanted to make sure he was not "just talking about" these issues but was also "actively being involved" and "actively trying to make a change."

"I've been very blessed to be in this position and be able to make the kind of money I do," Kaepernick said. "I have to help these communities. It's not right that they're not put in the position to succeed or given those opportunities to succeed."

He also said he was "definitely considering" accepting invitations to meet with police and other law enforcement officers.

The San Francisco Police Department has had "a lot of issues," Kaepernick said, adding that he wanted to address the alleged "racist text messages that have been passed back and forth between PD members."

Kaepernick began his protest last week when he sat down during the national anthem before a game.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," he told NFL Media. "There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

He continued his protest by again refusing to stand, instead kneeling, as "The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung before last night's preseason finale against the San Diego Chargers. He was joined by teammate Eric Reid, who also knelt.

Kaepernick, who was born in Milwaukee to a white mother and a black father, said at Thursday night's news conference he believed his protest has been falsely painted as "anti-American and "anti-men and women of the military."

"I realize that men and women of the military go out and sacrifice their lives and put their selves in harm's way for my freedom of speech," he said. "I have the utmost respect for them. I think what I did was taken out of context and spun a different way."

Kaepernick added that he and his teammate had a conversation before Thursday night's game with a veteran, Nate Boyer, who helped them come up with the idea to kneel.

"We were talking to him about 'How can we get the message back on track and not take away from the military, not take away from pride in our country but keep the focus on what the issues really are?'" Kaepernick said. "Once again, I'm not anti-American. I love America. I love people. That's why I'm doing this. I want to help make America better."

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The Santa Clara PD is absolutely right; if they work those games in uniform they will be targets now that Colin's agenda has become national news. You know how some people can be. Look at that "peaceful" march where so many officers were randomly killed.

This incessant whining is really a turnoff. Go back to the field and do what you were paid to do.

[quote] You know how some people can be.

I know how bitchy fags can be. I'm one.

He's just getting uglier and uglier.

Love the fro. Total hot Mandigo

He's not ugly. I love afros and I hope he starts a trend

He looks more Jewish or Arab than black

r92 loool black people come in manyyy different ways HUNTY

[quote] I love afros and I hope he starts a trend

I don't love afros, and I hope the backlash against him nips any incipient trend for their return in the bud.

[quote] loool

LoL! :)

suckcolinsdick

He looks like a maroon with that big Alfro.

Awesome! Brandon is bae too

Brandon is trash too.

This will not end well.

Stay Woke!

Nice

Colon Kaepernick is not fooling anyone. He's sitting down for Muslims, not blacks...thanks to his girlfriend.

Send him to another country, see if he'll make 12 million dollars there!

Let me find out Kaep started a Revolution

Kaepernick meets Cam Newton in Charlotte

Gads, he's getting more uglier.

I don't like him, but I have to say that he has shown much grace and maturity following some initial missteps.(the pig socks were very unfortunate)

I also believe that his hair is stunning and it transformed him from an unattractive Arabic looking mulatto into a 1970s looking stud.

And the talk at the beginning of this thread about his bad reputation with coaches during his recruitment to college is accurate. No one liked him in the locker room and the coaches loathe him. He has actually upped his stock by starting this movement because he seems less shallow and moody.

But, having said that, this whole thing is a result of him being "pussy-matized" by Nessa. That is common knowledge within the NFL inner circles.

He has sparked a national movement. Locals high schools around the nation have student athletes doing the same.

Looks more like a Jewfro.

I was thinking the same thing, R113. Damn he is fug with that shcnoz.

[quote]He has sparked a national movement. Locals high schools around the nation have student athletes doing the same.

Oh, goodie (rubbing hands together). More votes for me. Keep it up kids. I'm lovin' this.

[quote]And the talk at the beginning of this thread about his bad reputation with coaches during his recruitment to college is accurate. No one liked him in the locker room and the coaches loathe him.

I'd like to know what kind of behavior caused him to be disliked by so many.

I love Kaep

Howard University cheerleaders: kneeling during tonight's anthem. Resistance is stronger than hate.

They are kneeling for the wrong reasons, and Collin tricked them into thinking they are doing the right things. When in fact they are continually disrespecting America.

Why are they playing it at football games anyway?

Uh, no one is in the stands dumb cheerleaders.

They are R119. It's all Islam.

Isn't there a better word than 'woke' for what you 'tards are trying to say? Who started this trend? Does Beyoncé use that word? God, I hate the times we live in. Everyone is a fucking moron or wants to sound like one.

I hate the times we live in too. It's awful.

Shut up you prissy white effeminates

Don't see anything in Kaepernick's social media about the bombings. He's a fraud.

✋ r125...people have a right to their opinion.

Kaepernick supports these bombings - especially against gays.

Has Kaepernick said anything on behalf of our gays?

No. He supported Michael Sam and that was years ago. But, I do know that athletes only say "positive" things in public about gays in order to not risk backlash from the media and fans. They say the opposite in private. I know this for a fact,

The anti Kaepernick troll would ride his dick to Uncle Sam's hill if he got the opportunity IRL, best believe it!

Entire high school team in WA kneels for national anthem

Awesome

Can you imagine when blacks and Muslims become the majority and what's going to happen to gay people, white gay men especially and gay rights? I don't even want to think about it. White gay men had better build a storm shelter now because a storm is coming.

Why do so many gay men continue to defend black men, when those same black men are such homo haters. And don't lie to yourself or deny the truth, most black men really do hate gay people.

I don't get kneeling as form of protest. To me that's a sign of respect for the anthem. Like when you kneel in church.

Protesters should take it up a notch and moon their naked asses or something similarly offensive. That way we can clearly distinguish honorable athletes (winners) from whiney BLMs & SJWs (losers).

R130 - your claim is that athletes who say positive things about gays in public are doing so only to avoid a media backlash as soon as the cameras are turned off they make anti-gay comments. You know this for a fact.

Please read your comment again and try to figure out how foolish you sound.

Anyone eho doubts how much hate many blacks have for gay men, I will be happy to direct you to a website where you can see for yourself.

I'm talking unreasonable, irrational unbridled hate. They hate gays so much that they dislike Obama for doing for gays what he would not do for them.

[quote]I'm talking unreasonable, irrational unbridled hate. They hate gays so much that they dislike Obama for doing for gays what he would not do for them.

Well astonishing as it might seem, many black gays still find more acceptance in the black community than in the gay community.

I'm sorry, but I think Kaepernick is a horrible little man who is not worth talking about.

No one should stand for the anthem until cops stop murdering black people.

R138, kick rocks with your simple, racist self

What if the cops that are murdering black people are black too, R141? What then?

Charlotte shooter:

Racism infects society at large, including racial minorities. Black people are inculcated with the same racial stereotypes and perceptions as White people. Studies on unconscious bias have confirmed this

But only "white people are the devil", R144.

Im not buying the "mixed race" thing unless his Dad is Gene Simmons.

Don't be so ignorant r146

The entire Indiana Fever WNBA team kneeled during the National Anthem

So, is everybody going to jump the cliff, because one asshole decided to jump?

Let's just ignore the bastard and he will go away, he doesn't even support our gays.

R150, I don't support you, you Bama

Go Kaep!

He started a Movement

We need to ignore him.

i am sick of these fucking pros pulling shit like this. i just want to watch sports and not be reminded of the ugly shit in this world. now all other pros in other sports are doing it, so sick of this!

UNC Band, Fans protest National Anthem

I'm sorry, but I can't stand or no longer can give my opinion on Kaepernick.

Nice

I wonder if he still feels there was no difference between Trump and Hillary.
