The people who listen to someone like Kaepernick and his ilk are ill-informed if they are informed at all. They have no values. They have nothing to do accept align with malcontents like themselves. Being a herd member is their highest aspiration, as long as the herd they belong to receives the most attention and they can win points by worshiping the leaders of the pack. I believe most Americans are not like what we see portrayed on social media or MSM. Most Americans don't worship at the alter of the woke institutions. They have families to raise and support, jobs to do and a higher power than themselves or other humans to believe in. In other words their time is taken up in worthy pursuits, not least of which is performing the tasks that allow these narcissists the luxury of hating on America . When they do see or hear about what the Kaepernick types are doing, they shake their heads in disbelief and wonder at the ingratitude of these specious self-serving ingrates . The last thing true Americans wish to do is belong to that herd.

When our culture is falling apart, going along with the rest of the herd is a sign you are doing something wrong.

White people don't get to tell black people what is acceptable to black people. Hmm. Does he really want to go there? Because the obvious follow on conclusion is that black people don't get to tell white people what is acceptable to white people, either. And if that's the case, than white people can freely oppress and exploit black people and black people's objections are irrelevant.

Indeed, his thinking appears to be that its not just irrelevant if white people like a black person, but that it's inherently bad. For a black person to be true to himself, he must make white people hate him. Yeah, that's a philosophy for unity and comity.

If pro football is equivalent to slavery, there's a simple solution: Don't allow black people to become pro football players. I'm sure all the black players would be grateful to be freed from their chains.

I know a woman who tried to tell me right at the beginning that "Colin Kaepernick has every right to kneel during the national anthem." I told her then, no. His politics need to wait until he is not in uniform, on the job. Obviously Roger Goodell does not agree with me, either. I say now, it's typical of woke corporations to ignore the feelings of a large percentage of their customers to appease the most vocal protesters. It is a sign of the chaos and division that BLM, and the media who support them, want to create in America. How can we stop Americans from rallying around a unifying theme, at an apolitical event like the NFL? Oh, yeah, tell white people that they really suck. What surprises me is that anybody listens to a chowderhead like Kaepernick...

BLM has been a failure as a movement in every way other than it made a few leaders in that movement rich.
