Colin Kaepernick first disrespected our flag, our National Anthem, our active duty military and veterans by claiming he was protesting police behavior against blacks and oppression of minorities in the United States.
This protest came from a multi-millionaire who was provided by the very flag, police and military he was protesting against. If Kaepernick was truly serious about protesting, why didn’t he protest against black on black homicides? There were almost 6,000 black on black homicides in 2015.
If Kaepernick was truly serious about protesting, why didn’t he protest against black abortions. According to the Census Bureau abortion ends the lives of more blacks than all other causes of death combined. Generations of black babies have been lost to abortion.
Kaepernick complained that showing pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color is wrong. So this multi-millionaire snowflake, who earned millions of dollars because of the opportunities America has provided, is taking a stand.
Miami Dolphin Jelani Jenkins said he wanted to create change, raise awareness. He said, “I want to make it clear that there is no disrespect to the military or to police officers – I’m not about that. I love everyone.” Then what is this disrespectful and insulting demonstration about? Even the NFL players are not sure. They’re kneeling because other players are kneeling: non-thinking herd mentality.
