Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers since dating activist DJ
Fox News ^ | Aug. 30, 2016

NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s conversion to social activism coincided with his romancing of a hip hop DJ of Egyptian descent who has frequently spoken about perceived racial injustices and “Islamaphobia” in the U.S.

Nessa Diab, left, and Colin Kaepernick. (Twitter/AP) Kaepernick, 28, who has come under fire for his decision to remain seated during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner before San Francisco 49ers games, reportedly began dating Hot 97 DJ and MTV host Nessa Diab in July 2015. A few months later, his social media posts began to reflect the Black Lives Matter and Muslim activism of Diab.

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

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends. But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.

THIS IS SO EXCITING. Brings tears to my eyes at the memories of my son’s USMC grad! Yes, 3 months without seeing him, and what, 2 phone calls in the 3 months? Enjoy!!

Ugh. The way this country is headed, someday I may not stand for the national anthem.

I believe you - I'm surprised you stand now.

Looking at him I am not ever sure he is Black. He looks more like and Arab to me

I used to think he was Hispanic, myself.

Sorry, I don’t know why he was put up for adoption. Kindly ping me if you find out, as I’d be curious to know, too.

Seattle and other rival teams should have found a girl friend for him who would seduce him into losing analysis of football.

Have you seen Kaepernick’s girlfriend yet? She is so fine, I would probably say anything that she wanted me to say too if I was dating her, and believe she could easily have me reciting the Quran by heart in no time!

(This post is useless without pictures.)

Very pretty girl; surprised we know what she looks like.

Since we do, I’d suggest to nimrod Colin he look up Taqiyya.

Why did she pick you? To influence and get a big name.

Dude, you are nothing but a Muzzie tool.

Kap isn’t the brightest bulb in the box...I have said many times that his intelligence just isn’t high enough to make it as a high level NFL quarterback.

As long as he was able to tuck the ball and run, and he is very fast, he drove defenses nutz; but as soon as everyone caught on to this and adjusted defenses to eliminate his running game, he has struggled.

The kid is just not very smart...and it is showing.

we had no phone calls. He even screwed the call up when he got there along with many other marines , due to the shouting by the drill instructors. He never knew what hit him as he got off that bus LOL. We are so excited to see our new marine. Was your son at parris island too?

"Ugghh!!! Huge Vikings fan here. Teddy Bridgewater went down in practice today (to hospital via ambulance) and now this jackass is the possible alternative."

No way! Say it aint so!

However, does sound like something stupid the Vikes would do.

Huge Vikings fan here as well, since about 3 (& not from MN).
