The lack of commentary regarding the latest African-American man killed by police from all those who spoke so strongly against Kaepernick shows they don’t care enough about Kaepernick’s why. Of course, that only justifies his why, which boils down to a persistent theme: African-Americans aren’t as valued in this country.


So far in 2016 171 African-Americanshave been shot by police

In 2014 2,205 African Americans were killed by other African Americans

Case in point:

8-year-old girl’s killer sentenced to death for 2 murders

An Oakland man was sentenced to death Wednesday for killing 8-year-old Alaysha Carradine in 2013 by spraying bullets into a sleepover party in the Dimond neighborhood and then gunning down a 22-year-old man during a robbery two months later in Berkeley.

Where are the protestors in the streets of Oakland?

Probably a lot of guilt on his part for being brought up by whites. He’s got a screw lose, but it is his right to protest. It’s our right to turn him off too.

These people live in parallel universes. The reason for his protests have been crystal clear from day 1.

There's something about this that sounds familiar.

***So where is the rampant concern over the anguish athletes must be feeling, watching their kind being gunned down by police? ***

I want to know where why the black athletes aren’t anguished over their kind being gunned down by their kind?

His “why?” Look at me! I’m a mediocre football bum but a valiant social justice warrior. Hey! Over here! Is that a TV camera? Helllooooo ...

With all of the violence we’ve seen over the last few days in the aftermath of two more police shootings, it’s clear that Colin Kaepernick hasn’t accomplished a damn thing by sitting his ass down during the national anthem.

The dialogue is simple -

Police: Stop what you’re doing and put your hands up.

Suspect: Yes sir.

That doesn’t even included the Abortion numbers. Nor how many were gang related, or felons on parole or probation or out on bail.

It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 15 million abortions.

Because his “why” is total BS pushed by ignorant racial bigots who have no clue what is actually going on.
