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.

I’ve been a Cowboys fans for decades. I hate Romo’s bad luck but think Dallas will be fine under Dak.

The 49er's and the NFL should be asked if they support one of their athletes wearing such attire while having a press conference behind their microphones!

I saw a picture of his mother today, I think on Daily Mail. She is as white as she can be.

Kraperneck is another lying African and a second string QB making 1.5 million per month. He has no idea who his daddy is. It isn’t working. The racial thing, I mean. The hunting of whites, beatings of whites, calls for attacks on whites. In the age of cell phones, the media can hide only so much.

To avoid admitting that we are seeing a racial insurgency, the media insist that the police are the problem. They are not. Blacks are unmistakably gripped by a powerful racial hatred of white people. If the police were perfect, nothing would change.

He’s just one confused guy — not typical or representative of any larger group. No more representative of Blacks than you are of Whites.

His mother put him up for adoption because of the supposed ‘shame’ that would be brought to her family for having had an affair with with a black man.

You keep posting this on threads but have never posted a link for a quote from Heidi Russo stating it as truth. You are just posting garbage unsubstantiated gossip about his birth mother! Until you post an actual link to this supposed reason, I'll keep calling you out as a gossip monger!

I had one phone call when he arrived, just to say he was there, and one call about 2 weeks before graduation, just confirming he was on target to be promoted and to ask if we planned to come, only the briefest conversation. My son was at San Diego. My husband’s two sons went through PI, as did he. His father was in USMC in WWII at Peleliu. My husband and I met through the USMC parents’ internet board, then my son and his younger were roommates after my son completed infantry school.

I repeat: It happened on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL! I heard it with my own ears. If you do not watch Monday Night Football then you are uninformed and cannot condemn me! ;-)

There seems to be a lot of mixed-race people in BLM. Compensating for not being 100% black?

Nation of Islam is a dangerous cult, and BLM is a domestic terrorist group which actually is international in nature since they have foreign ties.

When this POS puts on the uniform of the NFL, “National” Football League, when he takes that field as an employee of the NFL and is representing the NFL to a national audience.

I work for a major company. When I speak before a large audience, sometimes it is an international audience, I am representing my company. Not myself. I am an employee.

I can speak my freedom of speech on my own time.

But not when I am representing my company. If I was before an audience on company time, being paid to do so, and I go off subject and start ragging on whatever I feel angry about - let us say I decide I believe in nudity and that America is an evil nation because we cannot go about nude while shopping in the mall, and I pull my pants down and fling my shirt to the side and wave my dong about... well, I could say “freedom of speech” but I would be fired.

I hold the NFL responsible. I suppose my company could also choose NOT to fire me, and think my nudity antic is a good idea. I guess that is their choice - but likely a lot of other people would be disgusted with my company. But I will guarantee they will fire me and no amount of saying “freedom of speech” is going to save my job.

The NFL needs to fire this guy. If they allow this, then that means the NFL SUPPORTS HIS POSITION. They have every right to fire this employee. He can rag on the American flag on his own time. But the NFL doesn’t have to allow this on THEIR TIME.

But if they do, to hell with the NFL. I had season tickets during the Montana days with the 49ers. Today I am a Patriots fan, 49ers (but maybe not), and Chicago Bears fan.

But if the NFL allows this to go on, I blame the NFL much more than these idiots in the uniform doing these antics.

I will fire the NFL from my life.

“Methinks you are going to see the Niners with a new starting QB and back-up on opening day.”

Indeed. The only real question is cause and effect, namely, does Kapernick already know this so he felt “liberated” to show the whole world what an ungrateful, flaming asshole he is, or will he be relegated to 3rd string status because he showed the whole world he’s an ungrateful, flaming asshole.

Up pretty late on a school night, aren’t you? Careful you don’t miss the bus and have to have Mom drive you to school.

LOL, dream on, Mr. Strange. Take your self-obsession and go play with it in private - you're not only irrelevant, you're far, far out of your league.

Look, something shiny. Go fetch.
