THE STUPID QUARTERBACK

Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback of the 49ers, refused to stand up with his teammates for "The Star-Spangled Banner." He is divisive like Obama. Both are half-white, half-black. Is there something about mixed breeds that they hate themselves and encourage division? Kaepernick, not originally and stupidly, said, "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color."

Give me a break. I went to grammar school in the fifties and I remember real racism. I watched the blacks gain their rights and become integrated in society. I was proud of them. I’m white and I beat up a kid for saying the N-word. Kaepernick is disrespecting his teammates and encouraging Ferguson-like violence. Instead of celebrating progress he is promoting violence. Even his position as a half-black quarterback wouldn’t have been accepted a generation back. Kaepernick, the biracial athlete, has become an outspoken supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement. He is endangering his brothers and helping to burn cities. He is basically stupid and entitled. Adrian Clayborn says we should try to understand where Kap is coming from. That’s easy. He is coming from a place where he resents his countrymen and tries to resuscitate a period of racism that died in the fifties.

He should be praising the country that gave him the opportunity to become a quarterback. He shouldn’t be such a spoiled child and an instigator of violence. Kaepernick says, “I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed. ... If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right.” He is living in a past era of racism. If he is so generous to the afflicted why doesn’t he give them all his money and drop out of football. Because he is all mouth and no brains. He is ignoble. He is embarrassing.
