I am fascinated that people still don’t see why what Kaelernick was doing was not only not a protest against the flag but was absolutely American and patriotic.
no i wouldn’t put him and Tillman on the same level.
let me try to draw a comparison. There is a segment of this country who think Donald trump is disgusting, un-American and a racist. The. There is a segment of the population who think finally there is a guy in power standing up for them, trying to protect their interests and move things in the right direction.
well that same level of disgust you have for Kaeperneck is similar to the disgust people have for trump. But if you are a minority who fears the police not because your a criminal but because you fear they are going to assume you are a criminal and very well may kill you, you may think whatkaepernick was doing was patriotic and although he was doing it at personal financial risk he took a stand by taking a knee. A sign in sports of respect for an injured person. Well he was recognizing an injured group.
Protest is a Right.
Not absolutely American, but a world wide phenomenon. A human reaction to "something", from big and very important, to small, insignificant, and petty.
Patriotic ? One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. Patriotic means different things to different people.
Looking at Craphead, from the longer view, as well as other athletes and Hollywood shitheads.... with their $... and their actions...
While Craphead was protesting as is his right, he was also posturing... he did give money to a youth recovery project as have others, but, again, posturing. No depth. Shallow. Absolutely no hero.
If you want to see a black HERO who put his money where his mouth was, his life on the line, and risked it all,
Look up Tuskegee Al Attorney Fred D. Gray, SEE what he DID, SEE what he ACCOMPLISHED, and that puts Craphead so low on the totem pole, he could well be the shit pile under it.
Now, if those social justice posturing shitheads, athletes and stars wanted to really make a difference, they could pool their moneys and pay Fred Sr, Fred Jr, and Stanley Gray to tear some people a new asshole,
And really accomplish something.
But no, posturing and publicity is more important than actually doing something that easily proven, can create a change. And did when there was a very real danger of a klukker killing Fred like Ray killed King...
Craphead is a hypocritical piece of shit.
Just a slightly higher level of shit than Morris Dees and the RIP off fuck over black people Southern Poverty Law Center.
Fred D. Gray is a MAN who made a difference in the face of great adversity.
