I believe Colin has the right to say/do something stupid, such as this, that is his RIGHT. But, just as he has a right to say/do anything, other people have the right to respond.
His assertion that this country is oppressive is simply IGNORANT! We have a black President, a black AG, we have black Mayors, Chiefs of Police, Fire Chiefs, etc...
Are there people out there that are racist? Yes; of every color and creed! But, you do not get a black President, elected twice, by a country that is 60+% WHITE, if that country is “oppressive” to blacks. PERIOD!
This whole BLM movement was started by the Trayvon and Michael incidents - both of which proved to be BS claims by other witnesses and evidence!
So, when you start supporting such idiocy, then you become a laughing stock! That is why, I believe, Clinton and the Democrats are losing many from their base, because even their base knows these claims are BS! And when you have multi-million dollar sports stars disrespecting the U.S., over LIES, I don’t think that will play well, come November.
Remember that it's much, much easier to say, "I can't be successful because I'm a victim!", than it is to do the things that make you successful.
This guy is at the apex of his career, in a profession that's even more exclusive and well-paid than Fortune 500 CEOs. Rather than choosing to be a backup somewhere (likely), he takes the easy way out.
Too bad. But, I always thought that he had an attitude problem.
