Colin Kaepernick protests the Anthem

[Denny347]

So you understand the BLM agument? You must be disappointed in the responses you got in the thread you started.

I'm not clear what EXACTLY they are protesting. Is it police shooting ALL black persons, UNARMED black persons, or just those shootings deemed ILLEGAL? I would understand protesting against the unlawful taking of a life by a LE.

I think it's a mix of all, depending on the day. The certainly have a loon element, that has issues with good shoots, only because the person was unarmed (I.E. Mike Brown). I'm sure however, they are those that understand the difference between a good and a bad shoot, and take issue with the latter.
Now socialism, I'm not sure where that comes in.

I can't verify this but it does add up and certainly gave me an "ah-hah moment".

[FONT=&amp] [FONT=&amp]San Francisco 49er's quarterback Colin Kaepernick, has a new 'protest'...refusing to stand for America's national anthem:

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."

"To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

The 49er's, of course, came out with an incredibly PC response to this:

"The national anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony. It is an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great liberties we are afforded as its citizens. In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose and participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem."

Now, the fact that 'people of color' have more rights under the law, more freedom and more economic opportunities in America than almost any other country on earth is something I suppose we can just ignore...Colin Kaepernick obviously has!

And I'm sure Colin Kaepernick's adoptive family of Typical White People might not want to weigh in on this either.

But there's a little more to the story that the media and the NFL will avoid at all costs, because it explains the real reason Mr.Kaepernick has suddenly come out with the idea of inflicting his agenda publicly on the fans. And the media and the NFL have no intention of it coming out if they can help it.

As the French wisely say, Cherchez la femme, look for the woman.

In this case, the woman is hip-hop radio personality DJ Nessa Diab.She's a Berkeley grad, a very dogmatic outspoken Black Lives Matter advocate and a Muslim. She and Colin Kaepernick are engaged, and Kaepernick converted to Islam during the off season.

The two are reportedly planning what Kaepernick calls 'a traditional Muslim wedding.'

Pretty simple...boy meets radical girl, they find they have interests and ideology in common...except,it's haram, forbidden for a Muslima (a Muslim girl) to marry a non-believer. This is not to say that Kaepernick wasn't pretty far along the radical path anyway.

It's a real love story...not only do they love the same things, but they can hate the same people too. There are certainly a fair amount of patriotic American Muslims, but many Muslims here follow the Qu'ran which says their first loyalty aside from Allah is to the umma, the worldwide Muslim polity. And no one with much common sense would call the folks at Black Lives Matter remotely patriotic. So it all fits together pretty well.

Another part of the back story is that both Kaepernick and Nessa Diab have been agitating the 49er's to trade Kaepernick to New York, where Diab is based. Ideology aside, this might be Kaepernick's way of adding some fuel to the fire.

The 49er's have obviously made a business decision to keep Kaepernick on their roster and, with the collusion of the media, to keep this part of the story covered up. That's fine, but it is a business decision. And although I have to admit that if I felt that way about America I'd vote with my principles and leave, Colin Kaepernick also certainly has the right not to honor the flag of the country that has treated him so well.

But football fans can also make a decision...like boycotting the 49er's and any subsequent team they might trade Kaepernick to until he's history. Now, that's freedom too, isn't it? Based on the 49er's puerile statement, I'm sure they'd agree.

Dunno which is more insulting: This assclown's posturing or the fact that he's disguising his romantic and career goals with that posturing.

I think it's nice to know the kind of person we're dealing with. Out where I used to live in South Haven, in Porter County, there was a farmer who had all kinds of crazy signs going after local officials and various people. It was amusing.

Here's one:

With an article, no less.

There was a house in Griffith that had words written on the side of the garage. Something about "lying politicians".
They tried to make him take it down, even went to court.

The town lost.
So he added to the sign.

I saw that... I guess it points to it not being all that common over here.

Apparently this is false.

Kaepernick says he's not Muslim, blames rumor on American Islamaphobia - CBSSports.com

Now, you gotta wonder why someone would post something that's completely false. It's a petty bad look by whomever decided to post this falsehood. Kap is viewed as unpatriotic, so some genius decides, since he has a Muslim girlfriend, that must be where this "unpatriotic" protest stems. It's unfortunately is an attempt to paint Muslims as unpatriotic.
