If you haven’t read this loser’s history, IFI’s Laurie Higgins gets right to the point:

Colin Kaepernick’s Clumsy Caper

Written by Laurie Higgins - Illinois Family Institute

Colin Kaepernick, NFL quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, has generated a dust-up over his refusal to stand during the “Star Spangled Banner.” Kaepernick said “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.”
While some “progressives” are defending his stunt, arguing that a verse of the National Anthem that is never sung—anywhere—has a racist message, Kaepernick didn’t mention the National Anthem, he referred to the flag.
For those who don’t know, Colin Kaepernick was adopted by a white family after his destitute, 19-year-old, white birth mother gave him up. His black biological father abandoned him and his mother before his birth. Kaepernick excelled at basketball, baseball, and football in high school and in addition to a football scholarship, he was offered multiple scholarships to play collegiate baseball. He has made millions playing for the NFL since 2011.
So, some questions for Kaepernick:
When you say the country, what exactly do you mean? The government? Every branch of government? Every department? Every elected official? The Constitution? Laws? Which laws? The police? Every police department? Every police officer? Teachers in government schools?
Does your assessment of the unworthiness of America include the sacrifices of soldiers who have given their lives to defend and protect people all around the world? Does it include men like my father who served and suffered during WWII? Does it include missionaries and medical personnel like Jim Elliot and Natalie Bullock who sacrificed the comforts you enjoy and sometimes their lives because they love people of color?
Could it be that the “country” that oppresses people of color is primarily constituted by Democrats?
• After all, it was Democrats who supported Jim Crow laws in the South.
• It was only 23 percent of Democrats in Congress who supported the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery, while 100 percent of Republicans supported it.
• It was Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
• It’s Democrats who have been promoting policies and laws that have incentivized fatherless families, which has long been known to be the central cause of poverty and anti-social behavior.
• It was Democrats who through their demand that homoerotic unions be legally recognized as “marriages” have now institutionalized fatherless (and motherless) families.
• It’s Democrats who for decades have controlled virtually every major American city where schools are failing people of color and where crime destroys lives.
• It’s Democrats like Barack Obama who, while sending their children to elite, expensive private schools, deny school vouchers for inner city families of color whose children are instead forced into underperforming and dangerous schools. And it’s Democrats who protect teachers unions that enable terrible teachers to keep their jobs.
• It’s Democrats who support Planned Parenthood, the baby-killing machine that profits from the deaths of far more babies of color than colorless babies.
One of the many problems with public schools today is the imbalanced and dishonest way they address the entwined issues of race and American history. Leftist “agents of change” (also known comically as teachers) present a lopsided view of American history, emphasizing the injustices that mar America’s history while de-emphasizing America’s social and political progress and acts of justice and compassion that ignite the imaginations of oppressed peoples around the world. America undeniably has a troubling history with regard to race, but that’s not the whole story.
America also has a remarkable history of racial and ethnic integration and an admirable history of self-correction. Is there a country on the planet that has as successfully integrated as many diverse racial, ethnic, and religious groups as America? Is it possible to walk through a mall or a public school in America without seeing interracial couples or interracial, inter-ethnic groups of teenagers chatting and laughing together? Can you enter a church without seeing families that are multiracial by choice through adoption?
This is a country whose founding principles and documents have made possible the kind of social progress that enabled a biracial baby to be adopted by a white family and go on to earn millions. This is the country Kaepernick sees as “oppressive” and others see as a social and political marvel.
The American flag represents the greatest nation in history. It’s a country that countless people have died to defend or died in the attempt to arrive at its shores. While Kaepernick continues to publicly demonstrate his disappointment with our imperfect union, perhaps he could tell us which country’s flag he finds worthy of respect.

Don’t you know Nike was thrilled to see their shoes worn on the same feet as those socks? And will these supposedly good student losers EVER take the time to learn who the original and existing slave traders in Africa were/are.

Yeah another indoctrinated genius.

49ers management was reported as saying they were not concerned with what their idiot player did

so we are not concerned with watching or supporting the 49ers anymore until such time as the managment DOES give a dman... or maybe they will trade him away anyway since he’s playing poorly?)

for now, the 49ers can GTH!

Yea it was, would have liked to see App State win but that was a class act by Butch Jones telling the App State team that they played a great game.

My Jersey Girl daughter is a freshman @ AS and it looks like they will have a decent team this year.

I will never watch the 49ers while they have the treacherous scumbag CK insulting our flag and national anthem.

Oh, that’s right, I never cared about watching the 49ers anyway.

I just sent a message to NFL on their website at for lack of a better address. I was polite but said feel disrespected. May not find time to watch in future. Link I used: NFLCare

Hey, Grayeagle....that blinding blue flash that just streaked outside your window was my email to the NFL flying through the ether.

It was HOT, believe me.

Thanks so much for providing the addy.

I hope every FReeper considers this a FREEP and does likewise.

This is what we're here for, not just keyboard commando-ing to each other. Take a minute to let the lily-livered NFL know how you REALLY feel. I did!

Update from central Gulf coast in Florida....I was on my way to beddy-bye (it's almost one AM here....) but just for you I stuck my head out the front door.

Still raining, medium not driving-hard, not much wind, don't see the palm trees swaying....didn't see any flooding in the street-lamp lit reflections, lot of big puddles though. Kinda like a calm before a storm, oh, my....

Well, the worst has yet to be seen....but only maybe "worst"....when the tide comes in from the Gulf around 2-3 PM, surging into our already-engorged canals, channels and inlets that border the thousands of homes and condos in the various subdivisions around here.

But I'll be in Dreamland by then....and will post another report in the morning, either from underwater or above. Taking my snorkel to bed with me.

Nitey, nite, all.

Yeah - that’s the thing. The NFL can do whatever the hell they want because the know the white American male will watch it regardless. Really sad. Same with that mindless crap on ESPN.
