@@daviddissatisfied3938 so ignorant
Sadly it happens all over the globe. There are hundreds of thousands to millions of slaves in China, India, Russia, etc. Americans have to focus on America right now so we can strengthen our unity as a nation.
Where was his glorification before all this? Took me a long time to realize that the media is bipolar. 😒
It's not bipolar. It's racist, evil.
Lol
We knew about this before he kneeled.
abe presume says who?
Kappy's just a puppet playing his role in the elites agenda, if you're too blind to see that then I have some good news for you hun, now you know. This was all planned out all along, just like a script in a movie, Kappy gets paid to play his role.
Everyone clap for the white man and white woman that raised him while for some reason his biological parents couldn't.
Why though? They seem to have done a terrible job of raising him
@UCLFvvd6Urf7FhvLaECq-zLw nah they did great got him to collage and a nfl contract he turned into a fuckin idiot
Biological parents, didn't have the spine to raise him. Black father/white mother, the things said about that are tremendous. I had 2 black girl friends, the racism and things said to us broke us apart.

Colin kneeled and he was wrong...people are protesting in the street and they are wrong....America just doesn't want to hear the message. He is an icon✊🏾🖤
Agreed. For suppressors there is never a right way for the suppressed to protest, because they don't want to change their way.
@mshesh16 I'm not here to defend Nike, but your critique matches almost every other sports star, too. Besides that, a athlete or celebrity can be right with one thing (here police brutality), and wrong with another (capitalism/third world). Not everything is black/white (no pun intended ;-)
@mshesh16 I've heard that he was still a good player, but I'm German and not too familiar with the details of American Football/NFL. So maybe his protest was also motivated by self promotion, like so many "good deeds" and charities of celebreties. However, he has chosen a just cause and helped to message it. Or are you denying that, too? If so, than you are maybe one of the whites that just dosesn't want to hear the message, as the OP stated.
@mshesh16 like the other poster said, he can be wrong in one area of his life and still be ICONIC in another. I never called him perfect. He kneeled down what he believes in. Furthermore, my post was more to call out the hypocrisy of those against peaceful protest than give praise to video I clicked on. If you don't like him, just thumbs down the video and keep going. Why spend your precious time on someone you don't like?
@mshesh16 all your replies are doing is proving my original point. Colin kneeled- he's wrong. BLM peaceful protest is wrong and just because people are tired of Covid. No matter what the movement is wrong. The argument about blacks killing blacks is invalid at this time as that's not what's being highlighted at this particular moment.
People: "Why don't they protest peacefully!?!"
Kaepernick: *just kneels during anthem. An action that he made sure was appropriate by asking troops beforehand.
*Career gets destroyed and massive public harassment.
Uh, nah. If you hear what he says originally his intentions were not good.
04mzwach ahhh the conspiracy nut...I’m sure George Floyd didn’t die horribly too!!! STFU...all ya need to STFU!!!
@@DyingBreed8 Lemme guess, him kneeling without speaking... was a secret ploy to get today's youth to do heroin and beat up their elders?
@@blufilmsesa nah, he wasn't even kneeling at first. Do your research. Dont praise him just because the media is on his side. And addressing the other commenter, george floyd got murdered. It doesnt mean theres not cops killing every race. Racial inequality is bogus.
@@rosepetitfrere6815 racial inequality = democratic party
Let's not forget he praised Fidel Castro
And 9 yrs ago blessed folks while celebrating the 4th of July. He’s a walking oxymoron
Kaepernick is a fraud, that was appropriating a cause for his own gain.
Kaepernick was REALLY sitting because he had no control of his career any longer before the sitting and kneeling: 2015 Shoulder injury, $61m guarantee denied, only got $39m due to season ending injury, contract restructured plan failed in 2015, no team picked him up, QB Challenge against Blaine failed in Training Camp 2016.
Then, Colin knelt for the military because Nate Boyer told him to kneel, while Nate stands next to Kaepernick kneeling.
Kaepernick was really upset with the NFL, not against police brutality.
My question is, if Colin Kaepernick didn't have that shoulder injury in 2015 and he was still in his prime as a star quarterback, would Kaepernick have been this "activist" against police brutality?
Everyone should have the right to protest..peaceful..respectful and with conviction..

Colin Kaepernick: I'm the most oppressed millionaire spokesperson for a company that uses child slave labor!
I am a young black man. I know people felt like he was disrespecting the flag, but he wasn’t. I love this country’s flag. My great great great grandfather fought for it in the civil war and my great grandfather fought for it in WW2. One of my brothers even enlisted when he was younger. When those players kneeled, it wasn’t out of disrespect, I know that with all my heart. It was about preventing George Floyd and Jacob Blake. Black people have been beaten in the street in the U.S. by our own police force. It’s wrong and has to stop. So please don’t feel like we disrespect the flag, we are only trying to send a message. And Kaepernick knew that by doing it like that, it would get the most attention.

He was pretty good
@@VibeinATLien Yeah, he was good 2/6 seasons
Hint, he was standing up for what is right and 4 years later the haters have woken up and realized he was right to protest peacefully.
he looks to his left, throws and then they catch it for a touchdown, the defense that is
Mimi P what exactly is he right about? He was protesting incidents that were actually lies in the media and the DOJ and other agencies investigating them found the police did the right thing🤷♂️
… if the national anthem was so important to the NFL, they would shut down the concession stands during the anthem to ensure everyone in the building respects it, not just the athletes. America is bipolar when it comes to race relations!
Ok so they should make every station grind to a halt for essentially 45 seconds. There’s a difference between being preoccupied or even ignoring it, verses actively protesting against it.
And America now knows the NFL sucks even more than before.

I was wrong to disagree with Mr. Kaepernick. I was judging him by what I thought he was doing, as opposed to what he was actually doing.
It takes a strong person with strong morals and conviction to admit that they were wrong. Only some of us have that privilege of having such characters. Thank you.

“How Colin Kapernick went from mediocre quarterback to a complete joke.”
I respected his opinion until he compared the nfl to "slavery"
ABC news omitted all of Kaepernick's social justice work since his kneeling protest by using another black man saying "we have not heard from Kaepernick in a while." ABC news omitted Kaepernick's donations to Standing Rock protest against Dakota Access Pipeline, his Nike add, giving legal assistance and training.
If you boo'd him in 2016, you're still a racist in 2020.

Ain't odd to me my knowledgeable friend, you also have the same rights. Hope that puts a smile on your dial.
Here is a fun fact,the military wasn't even recognized in anything having to do with football until 1968. In regards to disrespecting those who are Vets,ironically who you think gets killed by the police? Most Vets suffer from PTSD,are homeless, denied benefits in which they should be entitled to,police don't have the proper training dealing with mental illness, so if a person who served this country suffers from whatever illness, they end up getting killed through police interaction,so Kaepernick kneeled for them as well,but some don't look at the whole picture, just what fits their b.s narrative.
The title should say how he went from wannabe NFL star to civil rights clown.

I don’t care how you protest, respect our flag my father didn’t fight for our country in vain. FREEDOM, protest peacefully not when the Anthem is playing please. Do it on your own time and don’t riot either and take a city hostage.
This is political
J Bellamy political or not our flag stands for freedom for us to be able to live in a country that has given so much to us. Protest in the locker room. And no I’m not racist my grandchildren are black.
Your dad dead because he couldn't aim
Glory B, I love your comment. And I’m glad you have black grandchildren. However, you do realize he never meant to offend the flag or the anthem, right? He never mean to because it was a simple and quiet way to stand out from the crowd. The irony is, the highest moral standards go towards his cause to protest and say what he wants peacefully when he wants same as you or anyone else, and our military personnel fought and died for every American to have that freedom and right-the freedom of speech and protest in peace. You miss the mark in thinking he was offending the country when he just wanted the change that millions of cities are going through only through months of anger and uncontrolled rage. Because when you simply kneel they think you’re a traitor and they kick you out of the meeting, and when things finally get heated, they listen. It’s sad that it has to even get to violence for the country to change. I don’t like it either. I don’t support it. But we do have to be unbiased and see things for what they are and NOT what we want to see them as. He was never offending you or your family or the country or the flag; and that’s a fact.
Exactly!!!
Civil rights icon? You mean the one who's begging to be put back into professional football though nobody wants him anymore?

Thanks for brining this up. Some key facts that were overlooked.
1. Kneeling for the National anthem started AFTER he was benched on a 2-14 SF team.
2. He opted out of the final year of his contract with SF PRIOR to being benched
3. Was offered a contract by John Elway (known for his conservative views by the way) for $7 million to be a back up. He refused reportedly because he not only wanted to be paid more money, but also wanted a guaranteed starting job.
Funny how all of these facts have been forgotten
@King Crusader right on just another tactics that half these lost souless fools fell for, his ass don't know 💩 about injustice only about been benched now he wants to claim his black underprivileged right.
Kap a man before his TIME
He wears 49er color,,,,weak
Kaepernick and the NFL felt that being a civil rights activist was more important to him than football, that's why the NFL gave him the boot
and he was just a okay qb. If he was Patrick Maholes or Russel Wilson type player. He would still be a starter in the NFL. When your skills are less then your headache. You are gone.
Sweep under the rug? It's all I ever hear.
“Stand up for what is right even if you stand alone. Stand up for truth, regardless of who steps on it” - Suzy Kassem
Exactly. So nobody should be afraid to speak out against this bullshit. BLM doesn’t care about black lives. If they did they’d acknowledge problems like abortion and other blacks that kill way more blacks than cops do. It’s about socialism, not civil rights. They even took the gun away from the Missouri man who was defending himself from the mob who smashed in his neighborhood gate. Wake up bro
Charles Pope Abortion isn’t just a black issue, it’s an issue that pertains to women and their freedom of choice, a choice which is being stripped from them due to men with a toxic level of arrogance oppressing women through policies and bills. It’s ironic how you’re speaking on your belief that Black people don’t care about other black people when this movement was re-sparked DUE to the mistreatment of other black people, it’s almost as if they are able to empathize with people who look themselves because they have the same fear of being brutalize by the authorities, I wonder why...
To address your overused cliche argument of “black on black” crime, those people tend to get caught, charged and convicted. There’s nothing to fight for there, the law does it’s job in that aspect, the problem occurs when officers are unable to extend the same level of professionalism when the criminal is one of their own. No one should be above the law and no one should be protected for committing atrocious acts against another human being, especially murder. A quick fun fact: 40% of murdered across the States go unsolved.
Thirdly, I’m not sure where you got your information from, no one took the gun away from that man and his wife that lived in the gated community in St. Louis. Matter of fact, the police got a warrant to search his house and confiscated the gun themselves. The Chief prosecutor put out a statement saying 'intimidation or threat of deadly force will not be tolerated'
You’re severely misinformed, where exactly are you getting your information from because it seems as though those sources have their own agenda....

Hey let’s talk about freedom of choice for a sec. why doesn’t the baby get to have a choice to live. Just cuz it’s a dumb baby? If it was a one year old killed the narrative would be totally different. You’re morally sick
“Women’s choice” my ass. Nobody should decide if another human lives
I’m glad people are realizing that he was only standing up for his black brothers and not trying to disrespect the flag because remember in the pledge of Alegion it says justice for all and that is not the case right now and in the past God bless us all we all deserve the right to justice for all 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

No Jesus ,but great at starting race war......he was raised by rich white family...he doesn't know about hardships...suck a d kap
Calm down. Colin doesn't know or care what God says. ..and neither do you.
Colin decided to become an activist when the 9ers benched him. Then he had to keep going with it because you know, a mixed race kid raised by white people in Turlock Ca had a rough upbringing.
yep, most kids would want the rough up bring
All the kids at his school said he was the riches kid going there.
No matter how much the media tries to push that hes an icon, the people dont agree. Hes divisive, hateful, entitled and racist. Not something usually look for in a "civil rights activist".

@@VibeinATLien lol that's abit of a stretch you dont know him yet you immedietly call him racist how about having a debate anf try to understand his perspective before you spout "racist" at the top of your lungs.
Kaepernick was REALLY sitting because he had no control of his career any longer before the kneeling: 2015 Shoulder injury, $61m guarantee denied, only got $39m due to season ending injury, contract restructured plan failed in 2015, QB Challenge against Blaine failed in Training Camp 2016
Then, knelt because Nate Boyer told him to kneel, while Nate stands next to Kaepernick kneeling.
Kaepernick was really upset with the NFL, not against police brutality.
This man, is now in the same lineage with civil rights greats, in simple terms yall can now call him The Great Collin KAEPERNICK
Colon Fraudpernick sounds better.
As it's evident police brutality is DEFINITELY real against Americans and proportionally affecting the Black community. Kaepernick was appropriating a cause for his own gain.

My question is, if Colin Kaepernick didn't have that shoulder injury in 2015 and he was still in his prime as a star quarterback, would Kaepernick have been this "activist" against police brutality?
Kap became a civil rights icon when he used his KNEE for a CAUSE and NOT to kill.
entitled pos
Yeah, and he really cares about that cause. You can tell by how much of his Nike money he's donated. I guess the kids working in Knight's sweat shops are there for after school activities.
"Kap" is a chump, a sukka, a joke. Sitting on the couch watching football instead of playing football. As it should be.
If these Black players want to make a statement, that has a real impact, they will sit out the entire 2020-21 season.
"These black players" okay racist scumbag.
@@ryanrafiq7904 Sorry homie, I am Black!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 So yeah, the Black players!
@Dirty Autobot The economic impact to the owners will be far greater, if they sit out the entire season. Money is what the owners pay more attention to, and care about.

"He took a knee."
Tanya Harding did it better. 😂
@@TheLightSideReactions George took a knee too🙄
Bro why the hell did you have to take a damn knee
I have full respect for anyone with the balls to stand up to the machine
The irony is that these same fools voted IN the "machine/system"....lol...Aka Biden/Harris.
Smh. Come on, man. I'm a naturalized citizen AND a minority and I feel like I have better understanding of what is going on this country than people who have been here for more than a few generations.
Everyone complains about "the system" without actually looking at what is going on.
What machine? Like Nike where he’s making millions off slave labor
Civil rights Icon really ?
Racism is always gonna be here no matter what
I support Colin Kaepernick and his movement but today he’s talking about abolishing the Police and the prison system altogether. Sorry Kap, I like you, but your asking for the moon now. What does he think is going to happen with no police or prison system? I think he needs to reassess himself with that request.
Colin Kaepsaprick: Professional victim and experienced grifter
Kaep will be remembered for all time in the NFL. Kaep is legend. And will go down as a legend. He changed the world.
Robert Elliott
Which is why he’s a legend and will be remembered forever. Because he risked his job.
Who?
What??
I cried watching this video....damn we as humans has to do better while we on this earth! Equal people equal rights for all!
You soft asf!
Please understand there is NO SUCH THING AS EQUALS! Not even in HEAVEN!!!
Anthony Leonard Colin Kap was trash at football he really went 2-14 and was carried by Alex smith to the super bowl 😂 they tryna make it seem like he was elite, he protest Is right but man stop suckin him he was weak at football
Jason Wyatt no one cares about football thanks for nothing little guy
Doctor Boyd it’s good to be soft all real men can cry. You have a heart ♥️ ignore the haters.
I'm sorry. Colin Kaepernick is a hypocrite of epic proportions. I just love the link between the war of 1812 and police brutality.
This is seriously what he’s about and why he does what he does. ruclips.net/video/GG9NcfvxGeI/видео.html
@@hmp5952 people send me these videos as if this is supposed to change my mind
You know people forget about like the 90% of good cops that are out there.
7:57 Watch the body cam footage and you’ll see that this part is propaganda. He was detained for 10min and once they determined he was not the active shooter they released him. It had nothing to do with his race whatsoever. He took off running when the cops got close to him and hopped a barrier into traffic. The cops found that suspicious and briefly detained him.
It's ALL propaganda

@Bobby D INDEED R.I.P
Heroes come in different ways
Colin Kaepernick I'm Japanese Canadian and you are MY hero!!!
Extorted
He is not an icon. He is a clown.
No matter what his haters say Kapernicks name will go down in history as a man of integrity and conscience and their name will be forgotten.
Integrity? Lmao he profits millions from slave labor through Nike. You’re a black supremacist who doesn’t have the ability to criticize a black person when they’re wrong
He was a political puppet.
I don't even want to watch football no more....
Why not?? Cuz of kap
Double negative.
From football star to an American Hero to Civil Rights Icon! And his life is just beginning.

POS
More like a simp who is looked at as a coward
*clown
Just a puppet.
Has he started claiming his white side or is he still full on black and confused to why he's mixed not black
He forgot about all the police officers who sacrificed their lives during their service.
Colin Kaepernick thank you so much.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ to sticking to your moral value no matter what it cost you , like treat, hate, slurs, lost job, boycott...
Really admirable
What???
@@jeaninemorgan9118 Yes, racist. Decent people appreciate the concept of equal treatment under the law, and value those who speak up for it. Unlike you assholes with no redeemable qualities.

I have a question? Is he trying to hide the fact that his biological father's ancestors possibly sold other Africans into slavery?
Wait seriously?
Yawn ignorant troll
I do believe his intentions were good. But if he is down with looting rioting and arson I can’t be down with him
Told you so!!! Go Kap!
I am from Dubai and I have all the love and respect for Colin Kaepernick!
We have here HUGE racial injustice and we can't fight bc there is no democracy in the UAE, so I know how black/brown/native Americans feel like!!!!
I LOVE U COLIN! STAND BY WHAT YOU DO AND DON'T EVER GIVE UP THE GOOD FIGHT!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
First of all if you are not Imarati, Dubai is not your homeland even though you born there, so you are just a foreigner over there! Bullshit place, everything is for local people!
I wish I had a time machine so I take kaepernick back to his birth parents and let them raise him
I'm watching the Netflix show now, I feel so bad for any black child with white adopted parents.

Like liberals no justice for Vanessa guillon kil by a black military officer ok
@@alfredoalcantar8691 not sure about the relevance of your comment. Yes she was killed. He wasn't a military officer. He was an enlisted soldier as she was. How can you compare that to law enforcement killing unarmed civilians?
Oj made a statement too
He’s not an Icon - he’s an average athlete who was raised by white parents in America - I’m sure that was painful - has he ever been to the South Side of Chicago to lend a hand to black families ? Entitled - spoiled - child needs to be humbled - he doesn’t know what oppression is. Truth Matters
PREACH!!!

Donald Trump avoided the military draft 5 times, but it wasn't uncommon for young men from influential families to do so during the Vietnam War
Bro during the Vietnam war so many protest the draft even with legal repercussions.
