Awesome to read your support as a veteran who understands Colin’s action was never against the military. The flag is supposed to represent ALL Americans! 🇺🇸 Thank you for your years of service to our country!

not hearing it is no longer an option.... humans are so unaware of how we can be used when the universe is ready to produce change... when Colin says it was not planned I really do believe him because I had a moment I ended up speaking honestly about something I had not heard before and I was supposed to say something different.... evil people cannot be used in this way...they let that real hate...never the ones speaking out on hate... get in the way people will definitely be used to effect change....
How is he a real american by not standing up for our anthem? You must be missing large portions of your brain because there is no "truth" to what he said. Police brutality is extremely rare and oppression in the United States is a joke. Go over to a country with real oppression and then you can start talking. These liberals smh.
+Fad Fudge nice factual argument there my friend. Did you know that over a hundred unarmed black men are killed at the hands of police? but this isn't an issue? did you know that blacks serve longer and harsher sentences than whites for committing the same crimes? that's the issues were addressing. no one is blaming all white people. no one is blaming all cops. if you truly loved your country you would fix the issues it has and he did the right thing bringing awareness to the issue. and like every civil rights movement. change WILL happen. goodbye and have a nice day.
AJ lamar Police brutality is still extremely rare regardless. And by protesting and causing violence and not standing up for the national anthem is not the solution. Many blacks in the hood think that if they "stand up for themselves" by rejecting a police order is a good thing, ITS NOT. Thats why this extremely rare issue happens. Btw the people of the BLM movement do express hatred toward whites and cops, not all of them but there are some who do so.. Have a nice day
We elect a black president who hasn't changed what some people want changed so how is Colin going to change anything we live in a country with 300 million plus there is always going to be shit goin down
Your statement/ comment is accurate ... to me, Colin is a "public patriot" if anything, for standing up in his position to the injustices of this country, a country that actually disrespects what this country and our Constitution should stand for ... instead, a country of politically corporate controlled legislation and mass incarceration as well for corporate profiteering, and killing innocent citizens. - - Ranch Chimp Journal
He needs to grow the hell up! You make millions of dollars and you were given that freedom to get paid to PLAY A GAME!! These "people of color" being "targeted" by police are criminals who disrespect the law and don't listen to commands from an officer and get their asses shot for it! Stfu he can leave our country since he feels so disrespected! Bye bye!
"Ali was at the time the Greatest. But when he spoke out, he went to jail, man. Like even his greatness couldn't insulate him from those rules that they'd set up. " "At the end of the day, when I decided I was going to start speaking up, and not giving a fuck about the backlash or if it effects me... my whole mindset well, it's not about me."
Now i finally understand his point. He warned us, and half of us ignored his message. I have to admit I did ignored it, now I finally understand his message. Bring Colin back to the NFL, and R.i.P George Floyd
Just watched Colin in black and white and later found this interview .... at 6:57 he basically tells us his "plan" to continue his activism ..wow it's pretty amazing , a true fighter for what he believes in.. and is still doing it... for im glad 5 years later he was finally able to speak his truth, and to not just the 1,000,000 people here but to now some of the entire world.
I watch it too till this day it’s still happening I played football for my school and it have been a lot of kids dads coach for the team they put they kids in spot where the light at I played quarterback the coach son plays quarterback no matter how hard I try to fight for that spot but i never got it my senior year I played my best at quarterback I never played my senior yeah I never got the chance to show my talent or skill now I work and trying to get in to a college because of that it have ruined my life
@@tylerjoyce9225 you are talking jibberish about a coach's son playing QB over you and how it ruined your life. First off that's ridiculous second off wtf does it have to do with Kaepernick?
Mabye you all need to read the FIRST AMENDMENT again.. Nowhere in the constitution does it say that you have to stand during the anthem. This is a MAN who kneels for equal rights and is making people aware of the huge probleme around police brutality.. It is sad to see how nerrow minded people are and how you still only thing about yourself. We live in 2018 people.. WAKE UP! WOW... a big hand for the land of the free and liberty.
but actions speak louder than words. colin should have kept his protests off the field. I understand his cause. the cops are a problem in this country. I don't agree with him protesting during the anthem and on company time. everyone has the right to protest but you have to deal with the consequenses of your protests.
@Van Damme but the field is not his platform. He is not the nfl owner, the team owner, the stadium owner or anything. He was an employee of the 49ers. The 49ers can tell him how to conduct himself when he is on company time and he was. He has the freedom to protest but he nfl also has the right to fire him
@Van Damme but he would still be in the nfl somewhere. Now he is begging for a spot on a team. No team will pick him up now. You cant sue your employer and get your job back
@Van Damme then he needs to accept the fact that he will no longer be on the nfl. He is putting it out there that he is in shape and ready to play. No one will sign him
I feel bad for the successful black men in entertainment and sports, the political world telling them they should shut up and be great-full for what they been “allowed to have” speaking out will only make things complicated, one day these brothers would come together and teach black people how to live on less thereby being more.
Kap was exactly right! He will go down as a legend, a hero because he was so fkkn brave. To put that amount of money on the line tells you a lot. I was with him before but now with what is going on now ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾!!!!

history thinks he’s retarded and there is no proof of anything in this video he is speaking 20 mins of bullshit he don’t even know what he talking about😭😭
Lynn Lobliner: He explained his reason for doing it but he should have chosen another way to do it. Disrespecting the anthem and flag publicly in this manner is insulting to a lot of people because they see it as an abuse of free speech and expression. Many of those people insulted are football fans. Liberal often say that "hate speech" is not free speech and they expect all to live up to that standard. If it disagrees with their thinking, it is hate speech. Lovers of the anthem and flag see kneeling for the anthem and flag as disrespectful and hateful and they are offended. "Unfortunately a year later" this is what the NFL, managers, coaches, the players and you still don't get. They can protest their grievances off the field in another manner without giving the figurative finger to the anthem, flag and people who venerate those things. In other words, plain and simply, "RESPECT THE ANTHEM AND FLAG" and we will have more respect for them. "Hate" is not free speech as the liberals remind us when they are offended.
Because there is no reason, ever notice same old sorry tired reasons, blacks have same opportunities as whites, cry me a river, thankfully the public as a whole DOES NOT SUPPORT IT
History always vindicates the righteous in the end. 4 years ago, Kap sat down in PEACEFUL protest and upon hearing a former veteran voice his concern that his method was disrespectful, he later knelt instead to be “more respectful” AND STILL his critics burned his jerseys, walked out of his games and demanded his removal. All because of a PEACEFUL PROTEST. The same people who constantly badger on about their first and second amendment rights, made sure to stifle his. And now look at you, a country on the cusp of complete destruction. Chaos. Anarchy. Mayhem. Enjoy x
So from what you are saying others who don’t agree with Kaps stance don’t have a right to disagree with him in protest? Also this guy literally just compared playing in the NFL & making millions to slavery. Sorry this guy has lost touch with reality…. I agree with him on things like police brutality but other than that smh, especially when he’s getting paid millions by a company like Nike who actually uses slave labor to make they’re products.
I now understand that this was not about disrespecting the flag, this was a peaceful protest to injustices to which I was ignorant. I now have a lot of respect for this man which I didn't have before. I encourage everyone to have an open heart to learn and empathize
It is disrespecting the flag which stands for the entire country, not just part of it. I’m not against equality, just disrespecting the country. This is like hating one room in a house and burning the whole house instead of dealing with the one room.
@@troyt6532 You don't need an analogy when you have real life to reflect on. He asked a veteran what he suggest he does in order to not disrespect the flag. How much more could he do? Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it disrespectful.
The statement about police having less training requirements than cosmetologists in California is sadly true. profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/08/30/kaepernick-was-right-about-police-vs-cosmetology-training/ Just lost a friend who was attempting suicide and the cops were called to stop him and they shot him within less than a minute of arriving to the scene. The wife had called to get him help. Police came, started yelling at him, pointing their guns at him (he had no gun, but had a knife...cutting himself). He started walking towards them. They shot him 5 times. It all happened in less than one minute from the arrival of the officers. By the way, he was white. This issue is worse for people of color, but this is a UNIVERSAL issue we need to address. How can a cop make $243,000, be armed, and have only 6 months training?
Listen From 6:17 and then seconds later... 6:30 "Someone that's holding a curling iron has more education more training than people that have a gun and are going out on the streets to protect us.". Damn. This is frightening.
Im so mad that he was hated for doing this 4 years ago. He was way ahead of everyone fighting oppression in this country by PEACEFULLY protesting and now America is GTA in real life.
He dude be aware of this whatever you do... Bow, stand, or kneel kneell....kneel? That is what you chose... Okay. knell....knell! KNEEL FOR USE.. BOY. And yeah by your action I do mean .... BOY!
If you have evil intentions in your heart,police training is irrelevant. Once you're out on the street,you're going to do what u want to do,regardless of your training. There needs to be a systemic change across the nation ,officers need to face tougher consequence when the willfully choose to go against their oath
@@nickatnite16 Agreed. After what I've seen the last month - and what Black people have seen their whole lives - I don't even know if police reform is possible. We need a whole new approach.
I never cared or even thought about that. I disliked him and found him to be an ignorant hypocrite because: he only knelt after he got benched, he took Nikes money and they love slave labor and because he can call out his own country...best country on earth and can't find good in it but will wear shirts praising Castro. He's a misguided ignorant moron.
I’m watching this now .. for the 1st time 3 years later .and I’m so blown away about how correct he was .. Sir I owe you a Apology . You open many eyes . To me personal you belong in a history book next to Rosa and MLK .
You’re an idiot you have no idea what the real story with this guy. He’s a straight scam artist and just wants to play the victim card to make money. Plus when all this happened it’s funny he started doing this it was after he got benched for Blaine gabbert. He wanted to attention to change from being a wash up bust to being some “hero” then took it way too far. This guy is a straight a$$
He should be given a lot more respect then he’s gotten for using his platform to bring awareness to social injustices that have affected the lives of black people everyday.He should be regarded as a hero for all the sacrifices he's made to make people more conscious to whats been happening in our society for centuries .Colin Kaepernick is a hero in my book as far as i'm concerned.
Agree completely. I also agree the police obviously target blacks far more than whites. But they kill white folks unjustly too and it gets no coverage because we are white... I think we all need to come together. These paid vacations after killing people need to 🛑.
I remember when this first happened quite sometime ago and I was much younger and surrounded by people who villianized him and only focused on him disrespecting America. I didn’t think my perspective on him would change but it did. I didn’t even know what he was kneeling for and now I do. Everything he said in this video was complete facts and very well thought out responses.
Sacrificed his job for the betterment of the people.. you had my respect before.. but watching this after the George Floyd incident has brought me to tears... I stop watching football a few years ago, and I don't think I can go back.
"Stand for something, even if it costs you everything" I will NEVER forget Kaep's sacrifice and i love him for his courage!! Hands down the most courageous football player ive ever witnessed
@@notyobiz6207 sure, because he loves playing the game... just like brady wont retire, just like many others who play way past their primes... so what are u really trying to say?
@Skeptical Libertarian exactly what lies? Cuz police brutality is very much so still happening... and so many other injustices in the law... plz tell me what lies your talking about
Kaepernick wasn’t just talking about African American people about police brutality, he said that people of color are targeted by cops more, which I believe is true, and if it’s not racism, then it’s fear, but he did say people who are oppressed and people who are affected by police brutality. He’s doing this for you too.
It’s not that. I’m Hispanic and UNFORTUNATELY the majority of time we live in neighborhoods that are gang infested. Their is unfortunately a “profile” in these neighborhoods. They are either black, Hispanic. I don’t think cops wake up and hope “God thank you for today I’m going shake a Mexican or black down”
The most violent cities are predominately black. When 8% of the population commits 60% of the violent crime and homicides there is a certain race and age group doing this and to each other for decades.
@Bill Bill So you tell us to protest peacefully and when Kap does it you have a problem with it? We riot because of the same issue and you say "why can't you protest peacefully." Sounds like racism to me. You people would've hated MLK too
***** Why isn't he protesting about the 2300 people who were shot by blacks in Chicago this year? Are their lives less valuable? Or what about the fact that twice as many white people are shot by cops every year? Is it only an issue when black people are shot?
the rascal of life Exactly, 90% of the people who idolize Castro wouldn't even be able to answer basic questions about the man's life or what he actually stood for. That along with many other things was evidence that he's just jumping onto a bandwagon without objectively looking at the facts.
Of course theres twice as many white people being killed by the police because most of the U.S. population is white. Kaepernick has the right to sit down during the national anthem anyways. He is exercising his freedom of speech.
Yup, he's exercising his right to free speech by making a fool of himself. There are better uses of it... like criticizing this fool for his foolishness.
I respect the fact ppl are commenting that now they understand but the premise wasn’t that hard to understand i respect but I’m still dissapointed it’s sad it took people protesting violently to bring the awareness of the issue
When Fox News shows the vilified side of the story it’s hard for them. Trust me I watch fox. They never put this video on their program. I don’t think they put it on their program until he actually knelt and they had Jon Bauer on their program
Just watched it. He was very explicit about that 4 years ago. A lot of progress could have been made... A very brave man. He was willing to sacrifice his career for this cause since the beginning. May God bless him beyond measure!
Nah he only did it for spot light. He can care less about any minorities. He talks about how our police abuse their power but yet praises Fidel Castro! He is the biggest hypocrite!
Colin Kaepernick took the right stance 4yrs ago. Today, in 2020, the USA should honor him for his stance. Colin showed bravery in realizing what his stance would cost him. He was prepared for it. Some people like money. Colin Kaepernick loved principal. He set a great example for us all.
Kap was right all along. People are just starting to watch this interview. This interview was 4 years ago ! What Kap is saying is What Malcom X was saying and Martin Luther King was saying. He is the New Age Malcom X & Martin Luther King .
@@CurtisDensmore1 I can see why what I said sounds like I am comparing Kap with X and MLK, but I am not. MLK definitely had something to say. However I think Kap in this interview had something to say as well.
EVERYTHING HE SAID ITS TRUE!!!!! Now they talking about it, it’s ashame George, Breonna, Aubrey, etc etc etc etc been killed behind everything he said😭😭😭😭😭
@@jahpetemo I think it shows a lot about a person that they care more for a flag of clothe.. than actual human beings. But then again I also imagine its hard for people to feel what others actually feel on a daily basis.
There is no question he was meant to go through all this. God has been guiding him! Wish he plays again with a team that really sees his talent as a player. Had to listen to his words after all what's happened. Who is watching this in June 2020?
This gives me chills man. This man spoke from the heart, laid it all out unapologetically. The courage this took, the world will cherish you Colin, we will never forget!!! Some say that he was going to get cut anyway, but what they don’t understand is that if he kept silent, he would’ve went on to make 15 mill plus as a bridge QB, backup, or starter. QBs like Ryan Fitzpatrick and Case Keemun (who are decent but not even in the same stratosphere at their peak as kAP) made around 15 to 20 mill, if Colin had stayed silent, he would still be making a lot of money in the leauge!
@Skeptical Libertarian He is kneeling for equality due to racism and police brutality in the United States. So many soldiers died for this country to allow Colin to kneel. He's basically a modern Martin Luther King Jr. #Hero
How is the black lives matter movement “vile lies”? The black lives matter movement is just promoting black rights due to the racism in the United States which is totally fine with me. The black community deserves a platform to fight the police brutality and the criminal justice system. Personally, I see no harm in protesting against racism and injustices in America just as long as they do it peacefully #1st amendment right. Kapernixk is kneeling for his fallen brothers and against racism in the United States PEACEFULLY. What’s wrong with that? If you don’t believe me watch Kaepernicks interview on kneeling to gather more information.
2:02 For the ones saying Kaepernick is disrespecting the soldiers he is clearly saying he is not trying to disrespect our soldiers, in fact he clearly says that our soldiers are fighting for us to have liberty freedom and justice for EVERYONE and when you have blacks facing systematic oppression in the US, our soldiers are dying in vein.
much respect. it's hard to stand up for what's right. Especially when you are a black man in America you are not suppose to have your own voice. I respect the military people who put their life on the line. I just want us all to be treated fairly...
Make no mistake, this man will go down in history for taking a stand, for using his celebrity voice to be heard on a huge national stage and knowingly put his career and entire livelihood on a thin red line for the sake of good. Now THAT is bravery.
Yeah, he sure is brave. It's ironic that most people who deride this man are people who would never have the guts to stand up for what they believe in. They hide their cowardice by saluting the flag insincerely, and use it as a tool to persecute innocent people, especially children.
Colon Kaperprick receives millions of dollars through NFL contracts that are taxed by the US government. He's paying for the American way of governance and going home to cry in his mansion. If this piece of racist shit doesn't support America, then he should stop paying US taxes and leave the country. I'd like to see where he goes.
I finally got to listen to this man. I did not know how to feel about the whole kneeling thing when I first heard about it. Now, I gotta tip my hat for him. He was right all along 💯 facts
Colin has the courage to fight for his convictions...something A LOT of so-called “patriotic” Americans will not do. Republicans have a different (and sometimes absurd) notion of what patriotism means. This is the bottom line of the polarization within the United States.
the way he answers the questions shows me he thought it through. Not something he decided before the game. More like something that festered for a while
I cant believe that there have been so many reporters over the last two years who say that they want to hear him speak. He said all he needed to in this video.
@Cyrus the great I will take it deeper, Satan rules the world through governments and has blinded the minds of unbelievers. 1 John 5:19 and Revelation 12:9. Jesús never preached or taught to kill, not even your enemies so which God does the US represent and have on their money? Satan the Devil
It's shocking some folks still don't understand what his motive is. He isn't disrespecting veterans that sacrifice their lives protecting our country, he is making a statement towards police brutality that hasn't been improved since day one. Justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor;
they hate him because hes right. #JusticeForFloyd

Did you know that over a hundred unarmed black men are killed at the hands of police? but this isn't an issue? did you know that blacks serve longer and harsher sentences than whites for committing the same crimes? that's the issues were addressing. no one is blaming all white people. no one is blaming all cops. if you truly loved your country you would fix the issues it has and he did the right thing bringing awareness to the issue. and like every civil rights movement. change WILL happen. goodbye and have a nice day.
AJ lamar Police brutality is still extremely rare regardless. And by protesting and causing violence and not standing up for the national anthem is not the solution. Many blacks in the hood think that if they "stand up for themselves" by rejecting a police order is a good thing, ITS NOT. Thats why this extremely rare issue happens. Btw the people of the BLM movement do express hatred toward whites and cops, not all of them but there are some who do so.. Have a nice day
Why because he's speaking the absolute truth
Bye
We elect a black president who hasn't changed what some people want changed so how is Colin going to change anything we live in a country with 300 million plus there is always going to be shit goin down
i think Sackerpick is just so use to the bench now he forgot to get up
Your statement/ comment is accurate ... to me, Colin is a "public patriot" if anything, for standing up in his position to the injustices of this country, a country that actually disrespects what this country and our Constitution should stand for ... instead, a country of politically corporate controlled legislation and mass incarceration as well for corporate profiteering, and killing innocent citizens.

He needs to grow the hell up! You make millions of dollars and you were given that freedom to get paid to PLAY A GAME!! These "people of color" being "targeted" by police are criminals who disrespect the law and don't listen to commands from an officer and get their asses shot for it! Stfu he can leave our country since he feels so disrespected! Bye bye!
Once person fighting for a cause lost everything sacrificed his career, but now we know why !!! Bravo one person can bring a change!
He went 3-16 in his last years as a starter and was benched on 2016 after going 1-10. He lost his job cus he sucks not for kneeling.
@Sherri Pie So how did Blaine Gabbert take over his starting job lol?
@Sherri Pie I'm sorry but if Cam doesn't have a job then Kap ain't getting one any time soon 😅
Atleast you listened..... Unfortunately someone got to die first for your to get it
We love you kap... Your so real
"Ali was at the time the Greatest. But when he spoke out, he went to jail, man. Like even his greatness couldn't insulate him from those rules that they'd set up. "
"At the end of the day, when I decided I was going to start speaking up, and not giving a fuck about the backlash or if it effects me... my whole mindset well, it's not about me."

Now i finally understand his point. He warned us, and half of us ignored his message. I have to admit I did ignored it, now I finally understand his message. Bring Colin back to the NFL, and R.i.P George Floyd
Not sure there’s anything any of us can do about getting him a job in the nfl
Is because trump is president , the commissioner is white , the owners are white and most GM and coaches are white
Respect for saying that
Matthew how can u ignore it,you must not b black,but either way...u dont care about a human life,wow
No
Just watched Colin in black and white and later found this interview .... at 6:57 he basically tells us his "plan" to continue his activism ..wow it's pretty amazing , a true fighter for what he believes in.. and is still doing it... for im glad 5 years later he was finally able to speak his truth, and to not just the 1,000,000 people here but to now some of the entire world.
I watch it too till this day it’s still happening I played football for my school and it have been a lot of kids dads coach for the team they put they kids in spot where the light at I played quarterback the coach son plays quarterback no matter how hard I try to fight for that spot but i never got it my senior year I played my best at quarterback I never played my senior yeah I never got the chance to show my talent or skill now I work and trying to get in to a college because of that it have ruined my life

@Bryant Pace nah man
He's clearly stated his respect for the military....but people don't wanna hear that part lol
No, he has not
but actions speak louder than words. colin should have kept his protests off the field. I understand his cause. the cops are a problem in this country. I don't agree with him protesting during the anthem and on company time. everyone has the right to protest but you have to deal with the consequenses of your protests.
@Van Damme but the field is not his platform. He is not the nfl owner, the team owner, the stadium owner or anything. He was an employee of the 49ers. The 49ers can tell him how to conduct himself when he is on company time and he was. He has the freedom to protest but he nfl also has the right to fire him
@Van Damme but he would still be in the nfl somewhere. Now he is begging for a spot on a team. No team will pick him up now. You cant sue your employer and get your job back
@Van Damme then he needs to accept the fact that he will no longer be on the nfl. He is putting it out there that he is in shape and ready to play. No one will sign him
He stood all by himself against police brutality, way before this nation did!! And he was fired and hated for it.
He may have gotten fired, but God blessed him with money from the owners of the NFL teams and Nike😊
😊😊😊😊😊 Still hate him. 😊😊😊😊😊
I feel bad for the successful black men in entertainment and sports, the political world telling them they should shut up and be great-full for what they been “allowed to have” speaking out will only make things complicated, one day these brothers would come together and teach black people how to live on less thereby being more.
Fr. “Allowed” it’s disgusting. Like please excuse me if I want to be able exercise my rights
"Be grateful!" that is what white supremacists love to say. 🙄
@Carl Ward Feel free to stop watching ( success to you with that)
I wish all black people would drop out of professional sports and show the world how we're needed the most for America's entertainment industry
Kap was exactly right! He will go down as a legend, a hero because he was so fkkn brave. To put that amount of money on the line tells you a lot. I was with him before but now with what is going on now ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾!!!!

He had the chance to make a statement and he took that opportunity and did so eloquently and with tremendous courage. History will absolve him.
He gave his career away and freakin was punished for speaking out and banned what kind shit is that
@@moalston4203 his career was at best stagnant, at worst in free fall. His remaining years would have been strictly as a back up.

Unfortunately (a year later) the conversation is about kneeling or sitting than about the reasons he did it.
THE REASON WAS BULL CRAP.......POLICE BRUTALITY IS NOT RACIST AFTER ALL......BLUE LIVES MATTER TOO !
Lynn Lobliner Thank you. Anything to avoid the issues.
Gabriel Szohner Shut the fuck up clown.
Lynn Lobliner: He explained his reason for doing it but he should have chosen another way to do it.
Disrespecting the anthem and flag publicly in this manner is insulting to a lot of people because they see it as an abuse of free speech and expression. Many of those people insulted are football fans.
Liberal often say that "hate speech" is not free speech and they expect all to live up to that standard. If it disagrees with their thinking, it is hate speech.
Lovers of the anthem and flag see kneeling for the anthem and flag as disrespectful and hateful and they are offended. "Unfortunately a year later" this is what the NFL, managers, coaches, the players and you still don't get.
They can protest their grievances off the field in another manner without giving the figurative finger to the anthem, flag and people who venerate those things.
In other words, plain and simply, "RESPECT THE ANTHEM AND FLAG" and we will have more respect for them.
"Hate" is not free speech as the liberals remind us when they are offended.
Because there is no reason, ever notice same old sorry tired reasons, blacks have same opportunities as whites, cry me a river, thankfully the public as a whole DOES NOT SUPPORT IT
Even though he’s been explicit for his actions these reporters still asking some dumb questions, what a world we live in.
History always vindicates the righteous in the end. 4 years ago, Kap sat down in PEACEFUL protest and upon hearing a former veteran voice his concern that his method was disrespectful, he later knelt instead to be “more respectful” AND STILL his critics burned his jerseys, walked out of his games and demanded his removal. All because of a PEACEFUL PROTEST. The same people who constantly badger on about their first and second amendment rights, made sure to stifle his. And now look at you, a country on the cusp of complete destruction. Chaos. Anarchy. Mayhem. Enjoy x
So from what you are saying others who don’t agree with Kaps stance don’t have a right to disagree with him in protest? Also this guy literally just compared playing in the NFL & making millions to slavery. Sorry this guy has lost touch with reality…. I agree with him on things like police brutality but other than that smh, especially when he’s getting paid millions by a company like Nike who actually uses slave labor to make they’re products.
I now understand that this was not about disrespecting the flag, this was a peaceful protest to injustices to which I was ignorant. I now have a lot of respect for this man which I didn't have before. I encourage everyone to have an open heart to learn and empathize
I respect u for being honest
It is disrespecting the flag which stands for the entire country, not just part of it. I’m not against equality, just disrespecting the country.
This is like hating one room in a house and burning the whole house instead of dealing with the one room.
@@troyt6532 That is a terrible analogy.
billweir1745 you come up with one that shows your opinion on it
@@troyt6532 You don't need an analogy when you have real life to reflect on. He asked a veteran what he suggest he does in order to not disrespect the flag. How much more could he do? Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it disrespectful.
Do ppl see why now?
No. Unfortunately not. Look at some of the comments in this thread.
The statement about police having less training requirements than cosmetologists in California is sadly true.
profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/08/30/kaepernick-was-right-about-police-vs-cosmetology-training/
Just lost a friend who was attempting suicide and the cops were called to stop him and they shot him within less than a minute of arriving to the scene. The wife had called to get him help. Police came, started yelling at him, pointing their guns at him (he had no gun, but had a knife...cutting himself). He started walking towards them. They shot him 5 times. It all happened in less than one minute from the arrival of the officers. By the way, he was white. This issue is worse for people of color, but this is a UNIVERSAL issue we need to address. How can a cop make $243,000, be armed, and have only 6 months training?
If a person is coming at them with a knife the police can’t take that chance they are legally allowed to shoot!

If you have evil intentions in your heart,police training is irrelevant. Once you're out on the street,you're going to do what u want to do,regardless of your training. There needs to be a systemic change across the nation ,officers need to face tougher consequence when the willfully choose to go against their oath

@@nickatnite16 Agreed. After what I've seen the last month - and what Black people have seen their whole lives - I don't even know if police reform is possible. We need a whole new approach.

So well spoken. I can’t believe after this interview people still felt his intentions were to disrespect the flag
Um, maybe some people are Cuban and didn't like him praising their brutal dictator, Fidel Castro?
I wonder what everyone thinks about him making millions off the backs of child slaves in China. His principles are a lot like his arm, non existent
I never cared or even thought about that. I disliked him and found him to be an ignorant hypocrite because: he only knelt after he got benched, he took Nikes money and they love slave labor and because he can call out his own country...best country on earth and can't find good in it but will wear shirts praising Castro. He's a misguided ignorant moron.

You’re an idiot you have no idea what the real story with this guy. He’s a straight scam artist and just wants to play the victim card to make money. Plus when all this happened it’s funny he started doing this it was after he got benched for Blaine gabbert. He wanted to attention to change from being a wash up bust to being some “hero” then took it way too far. This guy is a straight a$$
He should be given a lot more respect then he’s gotten for using his platform to bring awareness to social injustices that have affected the lives of black people everyday.He should be regarded as a hero for all the sacrifices he's made to make people more conscious to whats been happening in our society for centuries .Colin Kaepernick is a hero in my book as far as i'm concerned.
Agree completely. I also agree the police obviously target blacks far more than whites. But they kill white folks unjustly too and it gets no coverage because we are white... I think we all need to come together. These paid vacations after killing people need to 🛑.
Someone who is holding a curling iron has more education than someone holding a gun....YES!
I remember when this first happened quite sometime ago and I was much younger and surrounded by people who villianized him and only focused on him disrespecting America. I didn’t think my perspective on him would change but it did. I didn’t even know what he was kneeling for and now I do. Everything he said in this video was complete facts and very well thought out responses.
Sacrificed his job for the betterment of the people.. you had my respect before.. but watching this after the George Floyd incident has brought me to tears... I stop watching football a few years ago, and I don't think I can go back.
He didn't sacrifice anything. He got benched cause he sucked. Then he opted out of his contract. Not very smart of well spoken.

Some people are so gullible. This man praised a brutal dictator like Fidel Castro! Ask a Cuban what they think of kaeperdick.
Kaepernick wasn’t just talking about African American people about police brutality, he said that people of color are targeted by cops more, which I believe is true, and if it’s not racism, then it’s fear, but he did say people who are oppressed and people who are affected by police brutality. He’s doing this for you too.
It’s not that. I’m Hispanic and UNFORTUNATELY the majority of time we live in neighborhoods that are gang infested. Their is unfortunately a “profile” in these neighborhoods. They are either black, Hispanic. I don’t think cops wake up and hope “God thank you for today I’m going shake a Mexican or black down”
The most violent cities are predominately black. When 8% of the population commits 60% of the violent crime and homicides there is a certain race and age group doing this and to each other for decades.

***** Why isn't he protesting about the 2300 people who were shot by blacks in Chicago this year? Are their lives less valuable?
Or what about the fact that twice as many white people are shot by cops every year? Is it only an issue when black people are shot?
the rascal of life Exactly, 90% of the people who idolize Castro wouldn't even be able to answer basic questions about the man's life or what he actually stood for. That along with many other things was evidence that he's just jumping onto a bandwagon without objectively looking at the facts.
Of course theres twice as many white people being killed by the police because most of the U.S. population is white. Kaepernick has the right to sit down during the national anthem anyways. He is exercising his freedom of speech.
Yup, he's exercising his right to free speech by making a fool of himself. There are better uses of it... like criticizing this fool for his foolishness.

When Fox News shows the vilified side of the story it’s hard for them. Trust me I watch fox. They never put this video on their program. I don’t think they put it on their program until he actually knelt and they had Jon Bauer on their program
Because this was misreported by media. They did not hear their side of the story.

They're flaws ...love denying shit
Plot twist: most countries have these issues
You don't learn that on Snapchat and Instagram though, so let's act like its not happening.
Just watched it. He was very explicit about that 4 years ago. A lot of progress could have been made...
A very brave man. He was willing to sacrifice his career for this cause since the beginning. May God bless him beyond measure!
Nah he only did it for spot light. He can care less about any minorities. He talks about how our police abuse their power but yet praises Fidel Castro! He is the biggest hypocrite!
Colin Kaepernick took the right stance 4yrs ago. Today, in 2020, the USA should honor him for his stance. Colin showed bravery in realizing what his stance would cost him. He was prepared for it. Some people like money. Colin Kaepernick loved principal. He set a great example for us all.
Kap was right all along. People are just starting to watch this interview. This interview was 4 years ago ! What Kap is saying is What Malcom X was saying and Martin Luther King was saying. He is the New Age Malcom X & Martin Luther King .

How is the black lives matter movement “vile lies”? The black lives matter movement is just promoting black rights due to the racism in the United States which is totally fine with me. The black community deserves a platform to fight the police brutality and the criminal justice system. Personally, I see no harm in protesting against racism and injustices in America just as long as they do it peacefully #1st amendment right. Kapernixk is kneeling for his fallen brothers and against racism in the United States PEACEFULLY. What’s wrong with that? If you don’t believe me watch Kaepernicks interview on kneeling to gather more information.
@Skeptical Libertarian how u feel now u fucking bum? People like you are the problem it's not Colin
2:02 For the ones saying Kaepernick is disrespecting the soldiers he is clearly saying he is not trying to disrespect our soldiers, in fact he clearly says that our soldiers are fighting for us to have liberty freedom and justice for EVERYONE and when you have blacks facing systematic oppression in the US, our soldiers are dying in vein.
much respect. it's hard to stand up for what's right. Especially when you are a black man in America you are not suppose to have your own voice. I respect the military people who put their life on the line. I just want us all to be treated fairly...
Wow.....for someone at his age, his knowledge astounds me... much respect for this man! ✊
@Anthony Joseph exactly! Yet, all these victims choose to follow and worship him. Sad!
If Zack doesn't want to record a new Rage album Kap might be available
haha I was thinking the same thing.
he totally jacked his style.
+KJ XXII he looks like his on crack
LMAO. No kidding.
+Mark schellins have a fabulous weekend Mark 😊
Make no mistake, this man will go down in history for taking a stand, for using his celebrity voice to be heard on a huge national stage and knowingly put his career and entire livelihood on a thin red line for the sake of good. Now THAT is bravery.
Yeah, he sure is brave. It's ironic that most people who deride this man are people who would never have the guts to stand up for what they believe in. They hide their cowardice by saluting the flag insincerely, and use it as a tool to persecute innocent people, especially children.
Colin is a real man.
No he isn't. He's an ungrateful shit.
Colon Kaperprick receives millions of dollars through NFL contracts that are taxed by the US government. He's paying for the American way of governance and going home to cry in his mansion. If this piece of racist shit doesn't support America, then he should stop paying US taxes and leave the country.
I'd like to see where he goes.
你是弱智
Colon Kaperprick
+Eli Chandler word
Wow! This man is serious about his beliefs.
KJV Psalm 94:16
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
ISE apttMH for brother Colin, one day TMH will wake him up and will know why exactly he’s doing what he’s doing...
Salute to you sir !!! Stand for something or fall for ANYTHING
STILL VALID NOW TODAY 😔
Karla S Robbins just like the Word of God
@@mycryptodance4353 LMAo not even. close, get that shit out of here
LudicrousKid ok ok, I was tripping, lol
I finally got to listen to this man. I did not know how to feel about the whole kneeling thing when I first heard about it. Now, I gotta tip my hat for him. He was right all along 💯 facts
Me too. His message was so powerful that it shook the nation.
Colin has the courage to fight for his convictions...something A LOT of so-called “patriotic” Americans will not do. Republicans have a different (and sometimes absurd) notion of what patriotism means. This is the bottom line of the polarization within the United States.
the way he answers the questions shows me he thought it through. Not something he decided before the game. More like something that festered for a while
I cant believe that there have been so many reporters over the last two years who say that they want to hear him speak. He said all he needed to in this video.
Facts
2:13 is the part he says about people in the military who served their country were murdered unjustly this is the truth
@Cyrus the great I will take it deeper, Satan rules the world through governments and has blinded the minds of unbelievers. 1 John 5:19 and Revelation 12:9. Jesús never preached or taught to kill, not even your enemies so which God does the US represent and have on their money? Satan the Devil
@@LEX-yd4if unless its fighting the good fight which is what their doing
2020 Same situation he told us and lost his job #Ripfloyd
@Carl Ward wth? Dude politics and sports go together
It's shocking some folks still don't understand what his motive is. He isn't disrespecting veterans that sacrifice their lives protecting our country, he is making a statement towards police brutality that hasn't been improved since day one. Justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor;
