Colin Kaepernick protests anthem due to treatment of minorities

#Oyibo

 

So it's only "political correctness run wild" when they're criticizing something you agree with.

 

Give me break. Even Colin doesn't care about the black community. If he did he would talk about the real issues such as gun violence, lack of education and fatherless homes but instead he puts all the blame on the police police police and police.

 

No...try reading what I wrote over again and see if you do a better job a second time.

There's a pretty big difference between someone just being real and it not being politically correct and someone disrespecting the country that made them rich for a publicity stunt. You do realize that right?

 

So it's only "being real" when it is something you agree with.

 

I understand that but I just don't know how much time it takes. 50 years is a fair amount of time. We had explicitly racist policies against the Chinese and Japanese as well. These populations have done exceedingly well in America. Math, science, and education are all extremely high priorities in Asian households. I don't think this can be ignored as a reason for their economic outperformance of American whites. I don't see anything changing until the requisite changes in attitude towards education and academic success in school are undertaken within various cultures in America (American culture as a whole doesn't really seem to champion intellectualism either).

 

No, quite often I disagree with people who are being politically incorrect. Did you go back and re-read what I wrote? You're continuing on as if you didn't. I'd hate to think you could be this far off the mark after trying twice.

There is no comparison between a legitimate example of someone just being politically incorrect and someone disrespecting the country that made them rich as a publicity stunt because they are a failing athlete. Do yourself a favor and think about that for a while before continuing.

 

.LOL.

 

I think the real reason why he's sitting is that

he can't beat out Blaine Gabbert

 

I guess that shows how you could fail to understand what was being said even after multiple attempts....you have to read the whole statement kiddo, not just an excerpt.

Try going back and reading all of my comments in their entirety and see if that helps you figure things out. I'll do what I can to help you, but you have to work with me.

 

Bro, African immigrants are among the most successful of our citizenry.


The element of "brainwashing" should not be discounted.

 

*specific to the the American Black experience

 

I don't know where we could find numbers on it but I would doubt black immigrants from Africa or India are any less successful than any other immigrants. Immigrants from overseas usually come with a well understood historical and cultural identity, a solid family structure as well as wealth and education that is unaffected by American legacies. I'm betting you can tie their income levels in America to whatever the income rates are from their home countries. In other words, Japanese will have a lot more income than Vietnamese, Nigerians more income than Sudanese, etc.

 

Abdul-Jabbar: Insulting Colin Kaepernick says more about our patriotism than his

Let athletes love their country in their own ways.

By Kareem Abdul-Jabbar August 30 at 6:00 AM

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, is a former cultural ambassador for the United States and the author, most recently, of "Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White.

 

Maybe Colin is just trying to impress his girlfriend. I've seen her. I get it.

Treatment of Minorities? He's a 20 something revered multi, multi millionaire as a minority in this country that has a Minority as a President, Attorney General and many of the highest positions in this country?

What the fck is the bad treatment? The black man is the one holding me down as an asian! They're in charge of the government, are most of the athletes, musicians and famous people.

70% of the NFL is black? He can give up his salary anytime, but people always want others to do the giving instead of themselves.

Everyone wants to complain now days. Beautiful models saying their being body shamed to athletes saying this nonsense.

The fans pay for their salaries so let's see how long this lasts.
