Colin Kaepernick started out taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality, but his activism has since expanded to encompass a wide range of leftist causes, including a group named after a convicted cop-killer.
The Colin Kaepernick Foundation donated in April $25,000 to Assata’s Daughters, a Chicago “direct action” resistance organization honoring Assata Shakur, who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after being found guilty in the 1973 murder of Officer Werner Foerster.
The grant includes $2,500 for CopWatch, a program that trains volunteers to follow and video police, and $15,000 for teen training, part of the group’s commitment to “develop and train young people, ages 4-19, in the Black queer feminist tradition and in the spirit of Assata.”
Apparently Mr. Kaepernick is also a fan: He retweeted a July 16 message wishing Shakur a happy birthday.
That NFL decision gave conservatives a rare opportunity to take a whack at Black Lives Matter and the manipulations of Obama’s collusion with the media Instead pundits are letting the media divert that direction to “cum bye ja” and a dozen other directions. Because it diverts the focus away from media complicity.

The problem here is not connecting the dots to the democrats who created racial divisuon when Obama through the abuse of his office and the “Bully Pulpit” began creating “victims” out of blacks engaged in criminal activities who were not just resisting legal arrest but responding by attacking legal authority and endangering their lives .
Until this get exposed along with its political purposes which was creating racial division and a impeachable proof barrier as the continung political discourse which has been expanded to include “white guilt” will continue.
When blame the cops for cold blooded killings started by Obama’s it was through his use of the Bully Pulpit. It began with his comments during the Zimmerman trial. Those inspired at least 10* deadly assaults ending in death of any non black who wandered near or in “hoods” controlled by members cf black ganags. One such noteable case is that of Christopher Lane an Australian murdered by Crypts while visiting Duncan Oklahoma.
*(At the time the media avoided any reference made to “For Trayvon” as their reason given for those murders by the culprits mainly gang members. Of the I think the figure (10)is more like 20 racially inspired murders)
Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks. And because he wasn’t he contunued hammering away creating a wider racial division targeting police authority which resulted in cops being targeted and murdered in cold blood.
IF THIS IS BROUGHT UP WHEN THE NFL ACTION GETS DISCUSSED. WATCH HOW FAST THIS GETS SHUT DOWN

No sorry- that’s not true-
colin took a knee because he hates this country- he made that perfectly clear by his comments- many view the other football players who ‘show solidarity’ with him as hating this country as well-
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he said.
He made it perfectly clear he does not respect this country or it’s flag- and he is using a few cases of possible police brutality to justify his hatred of all police and this country- He was teaching children to hate cops and this country fro crying out loud- He didn’t ‘expand to support cop killer’- He stated right from the beginning he hated cops- all cops- wearing socks showing cops as pigs-
Colin is no hero of the supposed oppressed- He is a country and cop hating whiner-
Yup.
The NFL and depraved owners are supporting hatred for LEOs, Military, Flag, and Country. That’s the bottom line.
