Megan Rapinoe: “It was a little nod to Kaepernick and everything that he’s standing for right now."

"Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989) was an African-American political activist and revolutionary who, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. He continued to pursue an education, eventually earning a Ph.D. in social philosophy.[1][2] In 1989 he was shot and killed in Oakland, California. ..."

"As a student at Merritt College in Oakland, Newton became involved in politics in the Bay Area. He joined the Afro-American Association (AAA), became a prominent member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, Beta Tau chapter; and played a role in getting the first African-American history course adopted as part of the college's curriculum.

He read the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X, Mao Zedong, Émile Durkheim, and Che Guevara.

During his time at Merritt College, he met Bobby Seale, and the two organized the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in October 1966.[3]"

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey [Newton] rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

"'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded"

My eyes! He has to be one of the ugliest creatures on this planet, the male version of Helen Thomas.

Colin Kaepernick isn’t black. He’s an Arab raised by a white foster family.

Oh, how cool! Love the new Black Panther logo! I wish I had seen the "Black Panther" movie too! It was an edgy 'nod' to the "Black Panthers"!

Oh, wait. This is a tribute to the Black Panthers from the Sixties?

The ones who kidnapped Alex Rackley because they thought he was a police informant, tied up, beat him, poured boiling water over him, left him tied to a bed for seven days covered in his own excrement, then shot him in the back of the head and threw his body in a river?

Those Black Panthers?

The same Black Panthers who killed three people in cold blood robbing a Brinks truck?

The same Black Panthers that openly revered Joseph Stalin?

The same Black Panthers whose ideological leader Huey Newton murdered a prostitute for disrespecting him and was known to be violently abusive both physically and sexually towards women?

The same Black Panthers that officially, as party policy, tortured, poured boiling water on him, then shot Sam Napier three times in the back, tied him to a bed.., gagged him, shot him three times in the head, and then set the building on fire. This was all after taking a two year old child and throwing him through a glass window, crippling him for life.

Those Black Panthers?

Those same Black Panthers who murdered Betty Van Patter, a middle aged white woman who kept books for them, raping and torturing her before killing her and dumping her body?

Yes. Everyone should remember, when this Piece of Animal Feces Colin Kaepernick wears pig socks indicating his views on police, and this Despicable Human Stain Megan Rapinoe says “It was a little nod to Kaepernick and everything that he’s standing for right now" keep in mind ALL THAT HE'S STANDING FOR, and keep in mind, YOU STAND FOR IT TOO.
