Colin Kapernick

So far, this year, he has donated $700,000 to 24-charities. I guess he doesn't publicize it enough. I also guess that isn't enough money for an unemployed person to give to others. He will, before the year is up give $1,000,000. That is as much as a certain billionaire is said to have given, also.

If he is supposed to be so concerned with "underprivileged communities" why not take that $1 million dollars and start an organization that goes into those communities and works with at risk youth who are being raised without fathers by the gangsta rap and thug culture they see in the streets and on TV?
He could even call for all the media attention he wanted in order to focus on something that could actually bring about positive change and he would still have job and be lauded in every sphere of society. He would be someone that any citizen would want their children to emulate.

The reason I think that he would rather "protest" by being political on his job and give money to individual charities is two fold:
1. It is like the rich person version of the "bystander effect" since there are some many charities out there he can just give money to those without having to take on responsibility of being involved personally. (It is easier.)
2. Starting a foundation, organization, charity, etc. and becoming a role model for everyone to look up to requires personal responsibility and would not become trendy among other rich athletes. (It is not as popular.)

He has actually earmarked $1-million for charitible donations and has a foundation to help less priviledged people. You could Google him and read his information with an open mind. I disagreed with his kneeling during the National Anthem, because I stand and am respect others anthems, prayers, etc. But, if you examine what he has said and done, with an open mind, you might find that he has done much of what you say he should have done.

I'm not surprised. He was trying to bring our attention to the fact that, just because of his race, he stood a 700% greater chance of being killed by a cop while unarmed than I did. I'm guessing that it would have to be 800% for some people to be open minded enouigh to get his point.

Oh, great. Another self loathing piece of crap liberal that can't justify their place in the food chain. Why don't you factor in that 13% of the population accounts for over half of the murders? Maybe that's why police look at them a bit differently... because, you know. They are mindless predators that think going to prison is a paid vacation.

It takes a special kind of brain damaged stupid to consider that no talent swine Kaepernick a hero.

You have no idea how happy it makes me to piss off a racist. Your comments make my day, because I know you are upset. Please don't stop.

Not pissed off. I pity you and your sad little collectivist lemming mentality. I did notice you didn't bother to address my comment about a 13% minority population being responsible for most of the murders in the nation. But pitiful pathetic retards like you blame the police.

Speaking of statistics, maybe blacks get shot more because there is a 900% greater chance they're stupid enough to resist arrest and go for a cop's gun. But blame the cops.

Don't piity me. I am happy and fultilled in every aspect of my life. I don't envy or hate anyone. I find your role playing entertaining. I am sorry that you are so wracked with hatred and ignorance that you cannot see that concern about others does not make you weak, but stronger. A desire for all to do better does not rob you of your opporunity to do and be your best. I am not religious and I do not believe in miracles, but, I urge you to let go of all the negative energy that makes you so desperately unhappy and discover the positive universe that surrounds you. Do you want to spend your whole life being miserable and despised by so many people? Don't you deserve better than that?

Again... lots of condescending gibberish. Not one syllable about the predatory blacks who are somehow (according to you and that swine Kaepernick) "the victims" in this land of opportunity.

Well. One of us is content with his life. The other is obsessed wtih his hatred of people he doesn't know. You know, you don't have to waste your whole life being miserable because you don't feel adequate. Thrwo that crap away. Let other people wallow in it. In this land of opportunity, you have the option of being a decent human being or continuing down the unhappy road you are on. You only have yourself to blame for the unhappiness you feel all the time.

More assumptive nonsense about me, when you know less than nothing. Address the question, please? Do predatory blacks who account for a hugely disproportional amount of the murders, resisting arrests and violent crime in the US have themselves to blame for not being treated with kid gloves. I can see why you desperately want to avoid answering, because it blows your black victim narrative into smithereens.

I know enough about you, from all the things you say. You are self educated about politics, race relations and culture. You are under 40-years old. You are a White male who is under-employed and may have lost a good job in the last ten years. You are armed. You are convinced that there will be an armed up-rising of people who think like you, in the near future. When that happens, you believe that a large number of cops and many in the military will join your side, because they are fed up with the way things have gone, especially over the last ten years. You think it won't take long to install a new government because the "other side," is weak and not organized like yours is. Now, if I am right, you are a dime a dozen alt-right racist. If I am wrong, it just demonstrates how bigotry works. Either way, it doesn't change a thing. No matter what one or a million Black criminals do, that should not dictate how you live your life. You are spending too much time focusing on the negative that others do, or you think they do. Why not just let law enforcement take care of those who do illegal things, no matter who they are? You and the people you feel an affintity toward, as a movement, are not going to change the world. The greatest likelihood that any of you are going to do anything of note is when you walk down the street in paramilitary fashion in an attempt to intimidate others. In fact, most people laugh at how silly that looks. A bunch of little kids trying to act like grown up fascists. The only people who take you seriously are the cops, who are not on your side and fear you might be the next one to take his guns to a public place and kill innocent people The Democratic Socialists who are laughable, in their own right, get all hysterical over you guys. I'll make you a deal. Take the time to think about the possibility that the world will change when you change. Then, start thinking about the changes you need to make to let go of all of the pain and suffering and find some peace in your life. Or, take one last swipe at me, to relieve the pressure of knowing that you are wrong but have just this way of screaming for someone to notice. And, I will let you have those last words. Peace, Brother. If I was religious, I would pray for you. I sincerely hope you find your way out of that mess.

I am well past 40, formally educated with a political science major and an investment professional. Strike three, you're out.
