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.

Why does anyone...anyone at all...pay the slightest attention to what this piece of human excrement has to say?
Persians are caucasians. Kaepernick Is an idiot
There is no reason for Fox to even post this story. Why give this enemy of society any free publicity?
Kiss my white Southern Christian
Trump-voting America loving Cajun home
girl a$$ Colin!.
Oops. I was calling Kaepernick a dolt in my previous reply, not you.
Yes, true. Colons white soccer mommy was a vocal racial SJW while he grew up.
Kaepernick is a perfect description of racist.
Why doesn’t he stick to playing with something he knows about? Oh....wait...that isn’t working out so well, either.
He should head to Iran to show solidarity.
“Persians are not black and brown...”
And not just that. “Iranian” means “Aryan.” Back in the 1930s, the Iranians were white enough to get Adolf Hitler’s seal of approval.
Kaepernick’s so predictable. Oh - and his mansion is an in all white neighborhood:
Unlike Hitler, the Iranians really were Indo-Aryans. :^) The real issue here is, Colin Kaepernick is a horse's ass.
Whoever is kind to the cruel will end up being cruel to the kind is a well-known teaching from the Midrash
The popular folk saying asserts, He who becomes compassionate to the cruel will ultimately become cruel to the compassionate.
Most of the problems in this case are due to liberals empathizing for groups that arent really victims.
Thus the compassion for Muslim fundamentalists and terrorists and not everyone literally afraid of their safety because of Muslim rape gangs and terrorist attacks. No, the victims of Islam are the evil meanies by being afraid and alienating the sacred Muslims.
Thus the liberal compassion for illegal aliens and foreign refugees who are the opposite of our culture. Give the illegal alien who violated our laws and will sap resources (on average) free college tuition and healthcare we pay for. Make disabled vets wait longer for healthcare and deny Americans in need public housing ...
<< Air Drop him into Iran. >>
And the Nike execs who signed him.
