re: Colin Kaepernick Says It's Time for Revolution in Wake of George Floyd's Death

It’s unfortunate that real leaders of the black community get overshadowed by Kaepernick. I see several issues with this.
He tries to present the image of being educated. ‘Educated’ doesn’t mean you simply went to school. I think because Colin did that, he tries to pass it off as educated. Any educated person realizes this problem is much deeper than ‘whitey cop killed a black guy who wasn’t innocent, but didn’t deserve to die’.
We put athletes too high upon the pedestal. Our country values sports too much. I know this, because the lack of sports the past couple of months has eaten away at me. That SHOULDN’T be the case. It’s a systematic problem. Entertainers (singers, rappers, actors, athletes) have way too big of a voice these days. Kaep is not the guy that needs to be speaking on behalf of the black community. He was raised by white parents, attended a major university, and made millions...the latter two simply because he was athletic.
People like Colin, Jesse, and Al will never speak about the ‘other’ truths within the black community. They don’t want to discuss the crimes they commit against themselves. A father abandoning a child and leaving the kid and a mother to fend for themselves is a crime. It is setting the child up for failure. Our government caters to the victims, but also allows unfit parents to reap benefits provided by tax dollars.
I could go on...but Colin is a terrible spokesperson for blacks.

Bad news for him is revolution wont either

So brave for him to send in the cannon fodder.

He's such a flaming racist
Posted on 5/28/20 at 7:16 pm to RLDSC FAN
He needs to be ignored (or erased).
Posted on 5/28/20 at 7:18 pm to RLDSC FAN
Is he actually suggesting a race war?
Posted on 5/28/20 at 7:33 pm to RLDSC FAN
Bring on the race war.
We'll take the northshore first. Suburbia won't know what hit em.

Being killed by blacks is part of your penance for white privilege.

Can someone plant evidence against the Clinton’s into Kap’s possession, please?

Unfortunately for Kaep, the stats don’t back up his narrative.

Young QBs take heed, this is what happens when you can't throw a ball with touch nor loft.

He needs to stop running his bitch arse mouth and start throwing them bullets. Ya know why he aint doing nothing but running his bitch arse mouth? Yep you guessed it cuz he a bitch.

He needs to lead the way in violence against police. He says he’s a martyr...this is a great way to solidify that status.

He's right. The only way to stop police brutality is loot and burn big box stores.
You want a food desert Colin? This is how you get a food desert.

Even white people are tired of black men dying in traffic stops for no reason, its embarrassing and needs to be handled. Focus on the issue at hand.
Jesus Christ. Whites are killled by cops too. Actually by a higher percentage per crime committed than blacks. Stop watching CNN do some fact checking for yourself and grow the frick up. This death was wrong and unavoidable but the sad thing is that this mans death has turned into the millennial “hate whitey” movement.
