so you really think that's all that happened




Colin Kaepernick was villainized and ridiculed for kneeling during a song.

by Conservatives


A bar used Colin Kaepernick's jersey as a doormat

for exercising his constitutional right and is being villainize

Republicans Are Still Running Against Colin Kaepernick
On the campaign trail, conservatives run ads that have turned the former NFL quarterback into a favorite punching bag.

Republican candidates across the country, from Tennessee to Pennsylvania, who have incorporated the anti-player protest sentiment into their campaigns.

Many of these same people whom you claim " have the right to criticize him " many the same people who Support what happened on Jan 6th ..... I am confused?

I said he was criticized. You can't refute that, by showing examples of how he was criticized.

When pampered zillionaires complain about what a horrible country we have, they will get mocked.

again, if jon stewart gets the same criticism, then how can you conclude its about race?

Pete, here’s something you obviously aren’t aware of…it’s actually possible to be both black, and very stupid. it’s also possible to be white and stupid.

why do you assume that pointing out ones stupidity, is racist? especially when white people
who do the same things, get similar criticism?

Answer - you’re also stupid.

Apparently you equate a late night comics monologue with a nonviolent protest or is anyone who disagrees with you stupid?

Since your latest MiniTrump heroe is pushing legislation to make sure it can’t occur, can you please define “white discomfort”?

Is teaching slavery as part of US history, “white discomfort”?

Is being required to interview female and minority candidates “white discomfort”

Is teaching about the abuse of the USDA loan program “white discomfort”?

Is telling an employee not to call a colleague “boy”, or a racial epithet, “white discomfort”?

Is Hispanic workers talking Spanish amongst themselves, “white discomfort”?

Are you discomforted by being white? You could fix that by feeling that you are black. Then you would have the black privilege of tapping into white privilege without having white discomfort.

"Is teaching slavery as part of US history, “white discomfort”?"

Nope. As long as its taught accurately (which side fought for it, who fought against it), and as long as we don't tell white kids hundreds of years later, that they have any responsibility for it.

"Is being required to interview female and minority candidates “white discomfort”"

No. But it's stupid.

So you were taught in school about how after emancipation and reconstruction came the Jim Crow era and the reason why it happened and the effects on the black population, how black property ownership decreased over the past century and why?

For the past twenty years to bid on federally funded projects I’ve been required to prove that I’ve solicited quotes from women and minority owned firms, never has been a hard task and the numbers of such firms have grown.
Must be construction firms are stupid
