Colin Kaepernick Compares Modern Day Police To Slave Catchers

I’m no expert on political stances that unemployed NFL quarterbacks should embrace on Twitter to ensure that they have a chance to play in the league again, but comparing modern day police officers to slave catchers probably isn’t helpful.

His self-loathing at being abandoned by his biological parents is being acted out through his anger at everyone and everything else.

It sure seems like everyone I know who is adopted suffers from issues of being abandoned by the original parents (I know my wife has never really gotten over it, and it happened 50 yrs ago). In the case of black people who are then raised by white people, it gets really odd. Obama is another example of this. Both this guy and Obama have a desperate need to prove their authentic blackness.

I’ll plunk down a ten-spot that says he gets hired as a commentator for ESPN.

Well, ESPN is full of leftists. He would be right at home.

Just when you thought this guy couldn't possibly get any more outrageous, what a buffoon.

Actually, he’s auditioning for his next job as a tenured professor of Modern Racial and Social Theory at Evergreen State University. :)

So Colin continues to try to stay relevant as he sinks into obscurity. Tsk tsk.

This guy is such a deep thinking genius.
His parents have to be very proud of his towering intellect.

Though it is rude by modern standards, even its title, it references the slave catching patrols of yore.

It is likely a traditional song, but was recorded for Colombia Records in 1924, by their first Hillbilly group, called The Skillet Lickers. 82 of the 88 songs they produced were commercially issued.

I am wondering. Is he talking about the Arabs who operated the slave markets and the African-Islamic converts who actually did the rounding up?

Perhaps, the point is Kaepernick is just echoing the BLM manifesto. He’s completely BLM.

LOL he was never a slave and knows nothing about slavery!
Love how these ignorant little pricks can make millions playing a game, and still not know about basic knowledge and life skills. Keep doubling down on what caused you to be where you are today though!
