If I buy another pair of sneakers, I want the old school Kangaroos with the small pockets.

Not trying to defend the guy but his donations to charity are over $1M at this point.

After reading what you said, I researched it a bit. I can see you are correct, he did donate. There are several organizations that are questionable in nature but he did donate. So he does get some respect from me for that.

I still stand by the fact he handled his social justice crusade horribly. You don't help your cause when you start out by disrespecting something many hold dear. Doing a negative action to bring about a positive change is an oxymoron and rarely works.

He could have used his platform to inform people of what he feels is an injustice and done it without disrespecting the flag.

But he's also on record as saying white people shouldn't be allowed to adopt black children because it destroys their ethnic identity. Mind you, he was adopted by whites and could damn well pass for white/latino, live a life of privilege and it wasn't until he started dating the Muslim/Arab who claims to be black Nessa Diab (her parents are Egyptian) that he became "woke".

She's basically the cause of his rapid decline as her own interjections cost him jobs.

2nd Commandment bruh.

“You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.”

That includes flags, bruh.

interesting..

athletes who have been accused of rec drugs, steroids, assault, robbery, rape and even murder have gotten endorsements from major companies before and pretty much no one cares.

kap takes a knee, gets a nike deal = boycotts, sneakers/jerseys being burned, weeping and gnashing of teeth, cats and dogs living together, mass chaos LOL

The fake outrage is really just their oh-so-thinly veiled way of saying they don't give a damn about the actual issue. White guilt is like garlic infused holy water on a vampire. LOL The racists/bigots will do or say anything to escape it. Socialized whites have no need to feel guilt and go on an anti-anything-black crusade.

Kap should thank the president for all the attention he brings to his cause. If it wasn't for Trump this wouldn't even be talked about.

Snowflakes were melting over this LONG before Flaky the Snowflake inserted himself into it. Trump is an opportunist through and through. Everything he tweets are just dog whistles to his base. He doesn't actually give a damn about this issue or them. He's using them to help prop up policies for his own financial gain after he leaves office, and in some cases while he's still in office.

... Nobody else seems able to provide any.

Figure 4 above shows the percentage of each race/ethnicity that was unarmed when killed by police from all of those killed by police by race/ethnicity. In other words, in 2015, of all the Whites killed by police, 6.04% were unarmed, in 2016 4.51% were unarmed, and in 2017, 5.69% were unarmed. In 2015, of all the Blacks killed by police, 14.67% were unarmed, in 2016 we see a significant drop to 7.30% that were unarmed when killed by police, and in 2017, 8.76% of Blacks killed by police were unarmed when killed. Of all the Blacks killed by police, a higher percentage of them are unarmed compared to Whites and Hispanics. While we see a decline from 2015, in 2017 Blacks were still 54% more likely to be unarmed when killed by police compared to Whites.

Its why I love the MLB.

They force many of their players to play in the trenches and make $200 a week to play baseball.

So you're a big fan of forced labor? Hmm... Interesting.

... I would have a lot more respect for him if he decided to donate his salary to organizations that uplift black communities or even created an organization that helps bridge the gap between minorities and police. Instead he just brought hate and negativity. He chose to demean and negatively stereotype police as well as anyone who feels pride about our flag.

You've obviously never done a shred of research into a man you hate. You hate him simply because you've been told you're supposed to hate him. You haven't actually developed your own logical reason to do so. I challenge you to find anything where Kaepernick has demeaned or spoken disparagingly against the police. Take all the time you need.

... Mind you, he was adopted by whites and could damn well pass for white/latino, live a life of privilege and it wasn't until he started dating the Muslim/Arab who claims to be black Nessa Diab (her parents are Egyptian) that he became "woke".

Imma have to dogear that comment and whip it out the next time one of SVTP tries to say white privilege doesn't exist. And what do you mean his girlfriend "claims to be black"? You know Egypt is in Africa, right? What you may not know is that today's watered down admixture Egyptians are still black Africans because they are descendants of black Africans. Ancient Egyptians were not tanned white people like Hollywood loves to portray. I can assure you there were no Elizabeth Taylors and Yul Brenners walking around ancient Egypt. There are dark skinned Egyptians, too. Also, not all Africans are dark skinned. Look at Ethiopia. They are very fare skinned Africans with not a drop of white (or other) in them. Some of them, like you say of Kaepernick, could damned near pass for a white person with a tan.
