RE: The right to protest - the NFL, Kaepernick and LeBron
Colin Kaepernick is an American hero for standing up and saying the economic situation and police state in minority communities is not right and is unacceptable.
When he wears a Che shirt while complaining about oppression in America, it shows he doesn't know the what the hell he is talking about.
He's not an American hero, he is anti-American.
Luckily, he is in America, where he can protest freely. Because if he was in Che's Cuba, Che would have murdered him, because that's what the racist murder Che did.
If you are looking for blood on people's hands, there is plenty of that to go around from every country in the world, don't worry about that. If you are looking for a country that is SUPPOSED to be about freedom of expression, than I think the U.S. is still the right place for you, despite current leadership and cultural trends. peace / P.S.- Anyone that is for discussion of social justice issues for improvement, I would consider that completely American. The only way to be Anti-American is to criticize someone for their freedom to speak peacefully and protest... i would cogitate on that.
Did I say he couldn't speak?
Telling someone that what they are saying is wrong, is not anti-American, that is free speech. He has his platform, you have yours, I have mine. Just because he is free to speak his mind, doesn't mean he is free from criticism. And he should be criticized for wearing a shirt honoring Che and talking about being oppressed.
Im with you man, fuck this multi-millionaire cry baby. He got benched because he sucked. The NFL is what, 80-90% black, he is just an angry loser. What a joke. A protest based on nothing... What is anyone doing about the 50%+ black abortion rate or the fatherless children? When you actually give a shit about humanity and what you support I'll care for your opinion.
