I don't have an issue with what Kaep's doing but I don't really see what he believes this is going to do. This seems to be split down political lines to me. Right wing conservatives have an issue with it and left wing liberals love it. Which isn't surprising honestly. So what is this really solving? The 50% of the country that supports what he's doing, already feel that black people are oppressed and support the BLM movement. It's not like he's gaining support from the other half. I mean if he sits every game and other players start sitting, what do they thinks going to happen? It's not like a contract negotiation. Is some random cop that hates black people going to come forward and say "I'll stop"? I mean honestly what does he think this is going to do. It's not like we aren't aware of all this. It's all the liberal media talks about nowadays. I lean conservative, but i really don't care much about this whole thing. I don't buy for a second that this country "opresses" black people. Yea there are rogue cops and yea there are tons of racist people across this country but my god this whole racist/bigot narrative that is constantly in the media is so overblown its ridiculous. 60 people a day die in Chicago and the majority of it is black on black crime, yet he's concerned with the 5 black people a year shot by police?? What about the cops shot in Dallas or in Louisianna?? Maybe this country oppresses police officers.

Yeah foreigners trying to escape countries that were exploited and destroyed by the USA ...a cursory study of the history of guatemala, el salvador, honduras, nicaragua, panama, colombia, etc would go a long way
On top of this there are many countries that are constantly flooded with people searching a better life, but of course as someone with an entirely Americacentric view on reality, this is irrelevant to you...
You are in scary shape...normally I would just leave it alone, but please spare us
I'll say this my friend.....You're g o d d a m n lucky that the mighty USA is here to police things around the globe. America s finest men and women have lost limbs and many have given up their lives so a s s h o l e s like you can beek off and take lifes liberties and freedom for granted.
All of it comes at a cost when we live in the same world as ISIS and North Korea. You think they play by the same set of rules as the rest of the world........hell no. The only thing they understand is a Tomahawk cruise pointed in their direction OR an Apache helicopter bearing down on them. This is the world we live in ....It's reality.

Please give me a break. You are fed a bunch of BS everyday and gobble it up, but don't feed it to me i'm not eating.
The mind game that will have you believe that by not blindly and unconditionally supporting something that I believe is contrary to my value system means I don't support service members is a joke. 20 veterans are killing themselves a day and the country you are fawning over doesn't give a garbage about them, because they've already served their function which has everything to do with the acquisition of power, control, and money, and nothing to do with the maintenance of freedoms that are our birth-right. I have the utmost respect for people willing to give their lives for a cause, I just think as a whole we need to reexamine that cause.
The irony of it all is that while you sit around and pretend that America is the reason people are free, and its the greatest place in the universe because of that freedom, you are on a message board losing your cool over somebody exercising their own freedom of speech and expression because you disagree with its contents (Colin, not me). Sounds exactly like America, spouting off about freedom and democracy, while making anything that won't behave shut up with threats and violence.
I will tell you now you aren't going to teach me the lesson you are so dedicated on teaching me, so let's move on

First have the patience to read what is written and then exercise some comprehension of what you have just read. I didn't even mention anything about America being or not being the greatest country in the world. I'm not qualified to make that statement and neither are you. Nobody is. It is a personal opinion usually based on ones personal experience and not on Terminator and Rambo movies. You, as a Canadian should already know that anyone who is talking in other millions name is a tool. Now, all I did is to point out that the Muslims and Islam are not about violence originally but are being manipulated into believing so and make you and other idiots like you that all the Muslims are bad people. You most probably shed a tear when one of the BAD Muslims - Mohammed Ali passed away. Let me tell you that you may not even know but he did for you and your freedom more than anyone in this thread pronouncing the whole millions of people as bad people only because they were born Muslims. No one is escaping America/ What that has to do with anything?
In conclusion - I am black person born into a Christianity and so were my parents. BTW. They were born, raised and educated in the USA. So were their parents, grandparents and Great Grandparents. More than that no one knows as their parents parents were at some stage brought from Africa against their will to America to serve idiots like yourself. I am sorry that I do not subscribe to your Canadian American false Patriotism, but, my family did and is doing it's share by serving in the military and even as other security related details around the globe, serving their own country called USA.
You see I am from France and here you go teaching the poor and uneducated foreigners about America.
Finally - there will come a day and you will pull your head out of your anus - I just hope that will be sooner than later

Here it is King Midas........ill sum it up in one sentence that anyone can understand . ALL RELIGION IS TOTAL UTTER B U L L S H I T.......all of it. It doesn't exist, it was created by man for man. It's why there are wars in this world ......my god is better than your god mentality. There is however a thing called spirituality .....it has no basis in class, creed, color, race or religion. Don't talk to me about Muslims or Hebrews or Christianity because its ALL COMPLETE 100% B U L L S H I T. WHat is spirituality then? It's Original Substsnce.........it made you and made me, and when we die we go back to being Original Substance. while you and I are in these physical entities called a "human body" we have to deal with life on the physical plane and to do that we must take action on opposing forces in order to survive. Extremist ideology is very very very dangerous and the USA takes the lead role in protecting the free world from this cancerous ideology. You have no idea who you are talking too here with regards to this subject matter........you've missed my point. I don't care if you are black or yellow or green.......or where your parents were born ....I couldn't care less. I'm saying while you and I are living in the now on this planet we need military force to keep things in line.

its almost the year 2017 far past any time of sci fi books, a year sounding like a space age time, yet we still have this religious war stupidity, people on camels and toyotas running around in the desert lopping off heads like its the year 600 AD, religions are all money making vehicles for control. greatest sales pitch in history, serve the church now pay them money AND you get your reward after you die, it really shows the deep backward inherent stupidity and hubris of most of our species. it doesn't get better, it stays the same. the earth won't increase in size , humans will consume/ destroy everything on the planet eventually.

You guys want to understand better about US better? Even those who consider yourselves so American that you can speak for all the Americans in the universe - please get your respectable butts out of the couch and visit the local movie theaters.
Go to see:
Hell or High Water
and
War Dogs
I'm sure you will understand what America stands for - better.

If you have ever read the declaration of independance you will notice its a Christian document!!!! Our country was founded on Christianity not islam. These Islamic dudes are using freedom of religion against itself to promote their ideals and marginalize what America truly stands for.Rock on but think and do homework before you pop of in here!!
Ugh. You're hiding your racism behind the Declaration of Independence and also trying to cover it up by adding that you and African Americans and are the same. Next you're going to say, "Bro, I have a lot of black friends." Right. Freedom of Religion is in the Constitution. It's what makes America, America. I don't agree with what Colin is doing, but I'm a great judge of character, and I can literally read through your b*llshit.

Don't really see the big deal...not sure why someone having a value system and behaving in accordance with it is so deplorable. I guess as long as the values agree with yours it isn't...
Whether or not you agree with his position, it shouldn't be such a stretch to respect somebody for standing up for their beliefs while knowingly risking the loss of money and popularity by doing so.
standing up for what he believes,
That is what is so funny, he is actually not standing he is kneeling (and was sitting)
the problem is he is blatantly disrespecting the country he belongs to and that feeds him. Yes, it is his right and I am cool with that. That he disrespects my flag though does pisss me off. Could he not just talk to the press, start a website, buy a full page ad in the newspaper etc etc etc to make his point. I actually think the man does have a valid point and I get it. That said, it is simply common courtesy to stand for a national anthem of ANY COUNTRY. He was raised by WHITE parents but they must have not taught him manners. When my kids and I hear the National Anthem, we remove are caps, shut the fu ck up and stand at respect as members of this country but also as a show of respect to the country. I would do the same if I was in Mexico, Canada or Saudi Arabia, it is common courtesy.

So Colin, you have made your points. The conversation is open. Please stand for my flag, like any ignoramus from any country in this world.
Please, do not disrespect my country or my flag any longer. It is simple common courtesy.
'My flag', Who said it was your flag? Are you a native American? otherwise it's not your flag and get back to me on how your country would care about you if you were kidnapped by IS in Syria, Your fellow Americans would continue their lives without weeping one tear and your government wouldn't give a damn, I could puke reading some of these phoney patriotic posts, Your family is the only thing you should represent, Country and race is all a load of bs.

A letter to Colin Kapernick- Colin, Thank you for showing us that we have a problem in this country. I totally respect your decision and your right to do this. I am actually kind of impressed with the volume of the story and the ability you have had with such a simple gesture to start such a firestorm. I only ask now that you do me and the country that I am from a favor today, please stand for our National Anthem. You do not have to stand for it because you like it or agree with it. I ask that you stand for it out of common courtesy for the people who do feel strongly about it. You see, this is only polite. As I was at the Thursday Night Football game the other day with my son, I was sobbing during the National Anthem. I was thinking about my Dad and how he would stand for the Anthem and take his hat off his head and place it over his heart. He was a Veteran, fought in the big WWII but not that much more of a patriot than the next guy on Main Street USA. He did believe though that there is a common courtesy to respect the Anthem for our country and for any country for that matter. He taught me this respect and when the Anthem played we would stand and respect it. Period. I am sure we would do this for the USA, Mexico or any other country, again, it is a common courtesy. I instilled this core value in my son at the game and had him remove his hat and stand at attention, just like my Father had done for me and I hope my son does for his son some day. When I go to a hockey game and they play O Canada for a visiting team, I show it the same respect I do for the Star Spangled Banner. So Colin, your point is made. I hear you. The discussion is open and you have way more press than any person could even imagine. If your point was to start the discussion and open the dialogue, consider it a job well done and stand up for the Anthem, please. If you continue to kneel, I will have to think you are blatantly disrespecting my country and my flag and I will feel slighted by your actions. If you continue to kneel, I would like to have a word with your parents about the values they instilled in their children.

Apparently Kapernick is still a devout Christian who has many biblical verses tattooed on him, So much for the piece of s-hit OP and his wack job theories of him converting to Islam.
