Former NFL player Colin Kaepernick on Saturday accused the United States of targeting minorities "at home and abroad," just days after the administration ordered a drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
"There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism," he tweeted.
In a separate tweet, Kaepernick decried "American imperialism" and its "policing and plundering of the nonwhite world."
"America has always sanctioned and besieged Black and Brown bodies both at home and abroad," he wrote. "America militarism is the weapon wielded by American imperialism, to enforce its policing and plundering of the nonwhite world."
It's unclear what specifically Kaepernick was referring to, but his comments came amid left-leaning criticism of President Trump's decision to kill Soleimani, who led the elite Quds Force within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC); the U.S. government has long considered him a terrorist.
Kaepernick's agent did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
The ex-NFL player previously faced a wave of backlash after he claimed to protest systemic racism by kneeling during the National Anthem. On Thanksgiving, Kaepernick attended an "Unthanksgiving event" where he accused the United States of stealing "over 1.5 billion acres of land from Indigenous people."
Kaepernick had already faced immense criticism for previous comments, apparently pressuring NFL teams to avoid recruiting him.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seemed to quash any possibility of a Kaepernick comeback in December.

Whatever.
Truly a broken record.
Candace Owens shut him up..ha..about Persia colonizing Africa and Europe for thousands of yrs and told him. To go read a book.
Ha HA
Kaepernick, where relavency left the road.
This guy is dumb as a bag of rocks just unbelievably uneducated and ignorant and stupid. But I guess he be da man.
I HATE ghetto black thugs..yeah.. I’m racist
lo
I might have gotten mad even 3 years ago but like the saying goes...don’t go away mad, just go away.
He was adopted by white folk and raised as a rich kid in the burbs. He needs to have a scales from his eyes moment.
Just shut up Crapperdink, or Trump may show up wearing your rings.
Raised by white grandparents after his black parent abandoned him. Like Obama.
Nike’s shill for slave labor.
Who cares? Kaepernick isn’t relevant to football anymore, and only a moron cares what he has to say about anything else.
Mr Social Justice has made millions off the Nike Sewat Shops that pay children 20 cent an hour compel 70 hour work weeks.
He is 100% full of shit.
F him.
My guess is that his white liberal parents raised him this way with all the garbage victimhood and supposed oppression of blacks to this day what a jerk and he can’t play football
This spoiled brat was raised in white america by white parents with all of the soils white american could provide for him.
He is a pretender is all of this racial crap. Try a few days of res life and he would be crying for his white mommy to save his pansy ass.
Just because he got famous making an asshole out of himself does not mean he is smart, wise, or knows a damn thing about serving our nation. He is none of those things.
I challange this pansy ass to go and find an army or marine recruiter and put his own ass on the line. He does not have the balls, honor, ethics, or courage to to that.
He is a coward who has always let others pay the price for the rights he enjoys today.
I served beside many minorities who paid a huge price for his right to talk crap.
He is not fit to lick their boots.
He’s too old to be worth a damn to the military and I don’t care what color you are. Who wants this azzhole in a foxhole with them not me.
