Hate to break it to you, but Wiley isn’t against the protests and blm, he’s just anti-kap (and has been since the beginning).
Wiley has maintained the stance that kap wasn’t blackballed, he just sucks. Wiley also in the past has mentioned a situation in which people Wiley knew approached kaepernick to advance the protests,but Kap blew them off.

BTW, annual tuition for Wiley's HS is currently $13K
That's also pretty cheap for a private school in today's world, especially in California. My guess is it cost less than half that much when he went there. Additionally, like most private schools, his high school gives financial aid and merit-based scholarships. My high school now costs nearly $25k/yr in Memphis (was around $12k when I went there). I'd imagine private school costs in Santa Monica dwarf tuition in Tennessee. We didn't recruit athletes when I was in high school over 15 years ago, but they do now, and I can safely say that most of our D1 recruited players are not living the same lives as most of the students at the school. They were recruited and pay zero in tuition to go to school there. I have no idea of Wiley's family background, but him going to a private high school and an Ivy League (where he also most likely didn't pay tuition) doesn't, in and of itself, make him a hypocrite, which is seemingly what you're trying to insinuate.

A millionaire telling other millionaires they aren't oppressed enough to represent the others oppression.

He was also his HS valedictorian. This doesn't seem like he was the poor black kid from Compton that was given a scholarship to play football. I'm not aware of his family upbringing either, but from all of the information I have, he wasn't brought up on the streets

He def sounds like he likely had good parents, but him being intelligent doesn't mean he wasn't poor and didn't experience many of the things black americans have. I just find that to be a weak argument (without knowing more about his upbringing) that his intelligence and merit as a student somehow disqualify him from having some of the experiences others have that didn't have the success he ended up having. And to clarify my previous post, the athletes my high school recruits are still held to the same admission standards and entrance exams, they just get a break on the costs. Like Wiley, some have excelled academically (some have gone to ivies, military academies, etc post high school), some haven't. But more than a few come from very bad neighborhoods in Memphis, and we have plenty of those

Do you think Wiley would need to be reared poor in a violent neighborhood to point out Kaepernick was reared by an affluent family that wears Ralph Lauren?

Do you think he lived in the rich, safe part of Compton?

I think he went to a HS that got him out of the day to day struggle that most African Americans faced in Compton. Also, the HS he went to before the private $13k/year one, was nowhere near Compton either. It was predominantly AA, but it was a few miles from the beach near Marina Del Ray. I don't think he lived the struggled life that most on here, and him, are trying to push off so that they can get a "gotcha" moment with Kap

No. But to have an opinion on who should lead a movement for black oppression? Yes
ETA: And to have an opinion on if somebody is "black enough"? Definitely yes

Just goes to show how quickly identity politics can get utterly absurd
Identity politics is meant to divide people and thus is a never ending chore.
There aren't just black people, there are now degrees of blackness. And it's not just your DNA that determines it, it's also where you were born and how you were raised.
It's the same reason the LGBTQABCDEFGH acronym grows by a new letter every single years and why you can now pick from 37 genders in California.
The obsession with identifying differences in people, both real and imagined, and meticulously categorizing and labeling them is a sickness.

I think those are terrible opinions.
Anyone who cares about human rights being maximized for everyone has an obvious right and something of an obligation to humbly speak up for those opportunities. Being maximally oppressed is a stupid criterion for the right to speak on a human rights issue. Also, being a victim of poverty, violence, or other disenfranchisement doesn't mean you know anything about the issues not personal to your history. Assuming the opposite is some combination of stupidity or narcissism.
Secondly absolutely no one has the right to talk about being black enough. But Wiley was correct when he pointed out Kaepernick only became an advocate after he stopped playing at an elite level.
