I'm a Niner fan and I don't remember him dealing with any racism from the team. As a fan I don't think he's been put in the best situations to succeed sometimes but to call it racism is probably a stretch here.

I think that's because the have an intimate look in to the world white people keep to themselves. Like they probably see their treacherous ways behind closed doors. How often do you think whites got comfortable with him and started slipping up and let the racist thoughts and actions show

He didn't stand for the anthem for the first 2 preseason games so why outrage now?

Because he Just Now actually commented on WHY he hasn't, that's why. -
the feels are hilarious
"that man didn't stand for the national anthem! leave our country! ur disrespectful"
vs
"slavery? racism? police brutality? get over it!!"
not standing for a national anthem is no where near as offensive as what people of color have to go through.. they gotta get over it.. -
Those folks really believe that they outright own patriotism, what being American is, and the American flag. It's the attitude of: this is mine; it belongs to me. I'm responsible for it being great, and you're lucky to be here, so you should be grateful.
And these are the same folks that sit around all day expressing how terrible America is for them right now but get spitting mad and condemn others for lack of patriotism for expressing how bad America for them. -
Hopefully this movement catches fire.
I won't hold my breath though. These football ? would rather make it rain in a strip club, than display anything resembling a principal.
Bout to cop me a Kaepernick jersey, to match my Micah Johnson Dashiki. -

It was reported last night that he didn't stand up for last nights game and I guess someone noticed. If it wasn't noticed, he probably wouldn't have needed to comment on it. But I'm happy he did -
Half of the people outraged will vote for the candidate that cheers for Russia to hack into American secrets

This is what real activism looks like....
1.The starting qb can always get injured.
2. Kaep could of been traded to another team.

Not standing for the national anthem isn't any kind of stand. It literally does nothing. Kap is a millionaire, so if he's about helping the oppressed, there are actually things he can do with his money/influence to help. But not standing for the anthem isn't one of them.
Explain why Chris Jackson was black balled?
The war is psychological.
Buck breaking was popular on plantations,and it still goes on psychologically .
A prominent blk man in this society in Colin, taking a public stand, sends a powerful message to young blk men PERIOD. -

They want Blaine gabbert to start n wouldn't trade him, only way they would trade would cost him money. And Blaine gabbert is a clear Coke headed country white boy and chip jelly a known racist is the coach

Almost brings tears to my eyes.
I support him 100% and hope he can maintain his stance in the face of the backlash. I know that not everybody is built for ? like this. -

Unequivocally false. Here we are all talking about it. Along with tons of other people. I mean, let's not make the ? out to be MLK and ? ...but to say this does NOTHING is clearly incorrect.
More people are aware of and talking about the problem now than they were before. Period. -
