Apparently you now have to apologize if you criticize Colin Kaepernick
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/17/16 | Dan Calabrese

Even if you're a liberal Supreme Court Justice. In fact, especially then

I’ve noticed with interest in recent years how certain public figures or notions take on a sense of sacrosanctity. These are the people or ideas that no one can question or criticize without coming in for a firestorm of pressure and criticism, which inevitably leads to the critic backing down and apologizing.

Gay marriage made the club two or three years ago. I think we’re almost there with Muslims too - not clear and obvious terrorists but any broader criticism of Muslims in general almost always puts you at the center of a s***storm from which the only way out is a groveling apology.

Colin Kaepernick is just using his white privilege. (You can look at him and see that he is at least 85% white).

He had a menu item named after him in some hot dog joint in his hometown of Turlock that was pulled a few days after his initial stint of kneeling.

Also, there was a bakery in Turlock that made goodies that mimicked him and/or his #7. They too wanted no part of him anymore and stopped doing it.

He’s a punk!

We are there with a whole host of issues. If you are not liberal on everything from homosexual marriage to global warming to illegal alien amnesty, to black lives matter, you are in that ostracized category.

In general, what is being described here is politically correct thought on the issues, paired with the totalitarian impulses of those who push liberalism on all of us.

It’s Saul Alinsky stuff.

I thought he was Hispanic, until this year.

How about “Skilletface”? He looks like he was brained with one & it left a lasting impression.

I’d like to see other players on his team refuse to block for him or even go so far as to state they will not play as long as he is in the game.

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, since dating activist DJ

August 30, 2016
FoxNews.com

'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. [aka, JoAnne Chesimard]

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Now contrast that jerk with the young Miami Marlins pitcher who was killed a few weeks ago in a boating accident...

________________

Jose Fernandez -the NL Rookie of the Year in 2013 - came to the United States by boat as a 15-year-old Cuban refugee in 2008. Along the way, he rescued his mother, who had fallen overboard.

However, his beloved grandmother, who Fernandez calls a “baseball freak,” was left behind.

“She’s the love of my life... my everything,” Fernandez said.

The day before winning the Rookie of the Year Award, a shocked Fernandez was reunited with his grandmother in Florida with help from Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria.

For anyone who didn't know, the original Black Panthers were a communist-revolutionary domestic terrorist group like Bill Ayers' Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army. All were Maoist to be precise.
