CaptainPanic is probably just salty because he saw Kaep eat a steak.

I was laughing more at the thought of that "fine young man" being compared in any way to Muhammad Ali.

I despise this so much. You have 90% of the country who is against the killing and want to see the cops get charged, but now you just alienated literally everyone to your cause.
Us v Them mentality will solve absolutely nothing. It goes against your alleged goal.

I agree with him. It's been time for a revolution. Thomas Jefferson said "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" I am referring more to the overstepping US government.

I drive through poor black neighborhoods every day and see those young men walking around with sad looks on their faces, aimless and purposeless.
If you can see that and think that those young men have only themselves to blame for their plight, then I think you lack understanding.
I'm not saying they can't rise above their circumstances, but I do think it's foolish to not see that it would be exceptional of them to do so.

Don't commit crimes, don't have kids out of wedlock, graduate HS, get a job. These simple steps will get them out of the hood.

George Floyd incident is tragic.
My fellow democrats would probably get pissed at me for asking this, but I think that it needs to be answered... What's the ratio of deaths by police vs total police interactions for black men? I would also like to gather that data for each ethnicity and weigh them against each other. I wonder how hard it'd be to find this data?
My guess is it's disproportionally black folks with police interactions, and probably the most total deaths by police, but it'd be interesting to see if the ratio is drastically different among races.

Interesting Website with police data though it doesn't seem to gather racial statistics.

I agree, it annoys me though. Ali was legit, and it feels like most over everything else these days..just an imitation of something or someone that once inspired people.
And people know when true inspiration is real. True greatness cant be denied.
Its reflected in society today. All forms of music, film and etc. You get covers, remakes and reboots. Re-telling of the stories.

Why isn't Jesse, Al, Lebron and Crapernick concerned about this?

Their parents are also to blame.
No one else.

Please tell us how difficult it is to be black???????? They have the same chances as the rest of us yet don’t take advantage of said chance because they were brought up to hate and steal do drugs and kill whoever is in their way.
This is hilarious. You can’t really believe this.

I think Lyndon Baines Johnson deserves a good chunk of the blame here.
He single handedly destroyed the nuclear black family.

That is very true. Kaepernick will NEVER be in the same breath as Ali.
