So what are you, or CK doing about inequality for Native Americans, or gays, or Muslims, or the countless other groups?




I do what I can to treat people, regardless of their race, background, etc., equally. Am I perfect? No, I have my prejudices and I recognize my own faults. I also recognize the faults in all humans. We're tribalistic in nature and naturally surround ourselves with people that look, act, and worship like we do.

It is creating criticism. I have seen nothing of note on the subject he is protesting about.
I have seen plenty of discussion on what he is doing....nothing about the subject.


Criticism is still conversation. Look at this thread. It started as a way to recognize Dial for helping hold the flag, and it has turned into a conversation on what Kaepernick has done, and policing statistics. Will anything change as a result of Kaepernick's actions? That remains to be seen, though in many ways the wheels were already in motion.

I disagree. It is the same reason Malcolm X and MLK could get up and say the same thing and MLK would have 10x the impact on achieving change. X only appealed to the people who were already with him and drove a wedge between them and the people they needed to get on board. And it was due to all of the other noise he created. MLK understood that they needed to win over large swaths of the population to achieve change and avoided antagonizing them.

MLK was roundly criticized and vilified during his time.

I myself, stand for the anthem but for very different reasons than the typical idiot. MILLIONS of indigenous, ab-originals have died for country and yet "The negro is STILL IN EXILE IN HIS OWN LAND" - MLK

Ancient name for North "America" or the Northgate is Amexem or Atlan or Turtle Island, because it looks like a turtle from outer space.

The Washitaw and several other black-a-moor races are recognized internationally as some of the oldest indigenous/aboriginal tribes on the planet not just in America. Hopi Indians speak a dialect of Mende which is a West African language. Yamassee, Tunica, Alogonquin, Choctaw, Caddo, Lenape all examples of indigenous Amexemites. India and f*cking Indians are in Asia, got it?

The Cherry Tree that British Agent George Washington "chopped down" is the Morroccan Flag. Amexem was the Western most territory of the Moorish empire -Why the Marines sing - "From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli."
There was a civilized constitution for this land THOUSANDS of years before Kristoff Kolombo or any other Tamahu (Tamahou hybrids) showed up here.

There are mounds, pyramids (Monk's mound in IL and Poverty Point in LA) and ancient artifacts (Burrows Cave in Illinois) that the red man (asiatic) will tell you that he DID NOT BUILD NOR MAKE here.

Just a few examples but there is overwhelming evidence that "black people" have been in this hemisphere for tens of thousands of years despite the J-suit / J-w educational thought programming in this cult of a mind f*ck society. All "secret societies" and masons know this...The common sh*tbag is clueless.

1492 represents the fall of the Moorish Empire on the planet and the pillage of the Tamahu (Tamahou hybrids). The Inquisition is real...The Inquisition Revenue Service is real. The F-deral Bureau of Inquisition is real. The Doctrine of Discovery and the Treaty of Verona is real. The War against the Moors and Moorish history is very real. This is why black-a-moors were forbidden to read during the OCCUPATION. It's called instituionalized racism.

The typical dumbass, black, white or red, sees a native Tunica from Mississippi or a native Yamassee from Georgia or a native Choctaw from Texas as a "slave from Africa" with no civilized history on this soil but the story is ENTIRELY different. Non descendable N-G-R's (Ancient word for gods when language didn't use vowels) don't really matter anyway right?

I could go on (and on and on) but I might sound racist...

Make Amexem Great Again!

Quick question. Has there ever been, or will there ever be equality for everybody? The very concept contradicts itself. And to disrespect the flag will get absolutely nothing done.


I live in a small town that is 98% white. I've lived here all my life. I've seen multiple generations of folks grow up in this town. As I take my kids to school we drive by 500K homes, and we drive by trailer parks. Very few kids that were in the trailer parks grew up to move to the more expensive parts of town. Poverty is color blind.
Oh, and not a sole sits during the national anthem at our HS football games. They would get their butts kicked.

Of course he was but his tactic of taking the high road bore long term fruit. Eventually much of middle America couldn't help but look at him as the good guy.

Its why you don't say you are anti-police and wear pig cop socks to a professional football practice.

The point you're missing is MANY people did not think MLK was taking the high road, especially many in law enforcement in the South.

No, you are missing the point. He stayed on message. He didn't pursue protests that made him appear the aggressor or suggested he hated the US. He instead suggested that his goal was merely to help the country live up to its ideals. CK said he didn't support the US.

"There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality....

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering." MLK

Wow? Most people living in SEC country back then thought MLK was a trouble maker and a thug criminal that was arrested 30 times in 10 years.

and now we have people thinking the same thing about Kapernick for taking a damn knee???? Nothing has changed.

Eloquent statement on injustice. Much better than wearing a Castro shirt, not standing for the anthem and flag presentation and wearing Pig socks.

Nor is Kaepernick. He is sitting/kneeling during the National Anthem. That's about as peaceful and non-aggressive as one can be.

Seems to me Kaepernick is suggesting the same thing.

Bud, even a lot of black people that are in the NFL think Kap is wrong in his choice. Do you think that any black people believed MLK's opposition to Jim Crow was off?
