Former NFL Quarterback Colin Kaepernick Refers To Law Enforcement as 'The Fugitive Slave Patrol'
The American Thinker ^ | 6/19/2017 | Rick Moran

Posted on 06/19/2017 11:50:26 AM PDT by drewh

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who refused to stand during the playing of the National Anthem, has raised the level of his stupidity and ignorance to new heights by likening the police to "the fugitive slave patrol."

Kaepernick made his comments following the not guilty verdict in the trial of a Minnesota police officer charged with murdering a black motorist during a traffic stop.

The quarterback, who, unsurprisingly is having trouble finding a job, tweeted a picture of a police badge and a badge worn by agents for Southern state governments charged with hunting down fugitive slaves.

The reality is that Kaepernick couldn't even stop Kaepernicking long enough to get into training camp. His abandonment of his protest crusade was nothing more than a political maneuver to soothe antsy NFL owners and placate those who correctly saw him for what he was from the outset.

Yet, none of the owners bit, because the true darkness of what Kaepernick believes was always going to come out. Now he has likened police officers, a huge percentage of which are minorities and an overwhelming percentage of which are not racists, to slave catchers.

Kaepernick thinks he's being blackballed for his political views. He is 100% correct. Football is big business. Hiring a high-profile quarterback – even in a backup role – who angers thousands of fans to the point that many will boycott games would be stupid business. Kaepernick wants a consequence-free soapbox where he can scream his inanities without fear of punishment. He won't get it if he wants to play again in the NFL.

Why give a washed-up-used-to-be NFL player this attention?

And law enforcement refers to Kapernick as the washed up former football player.

Seattle is breathing a sigh of relief. I think they were the only ones considering this fool for a backup job.

Also, it’s amazing to see the silence of this story on NFL.com. For the past few weeks, the leftist on the site have been running with a narrative that Kaepernick was being blackballed.

“Why wouldn’t a team give him a chance... he promised to behave?” LOL!

Seattle has enough BLM idiots already on the roster.

And yet, when Kapernick calls 911 the police will protect him like everyone else.

Fred on Everything

For decades white America made a desperate attempt to raise blacks to the level of the First World. It didn’t work. Instead saw a dragging down of society to the culture of the ghetto. Blacks were behaving as usual as spoiled brats. Anything that upset them, as everything did, any expectation that they behave, led to cries of racism and depredations by such as Black Lives Matter.

The culture of the ghetto opposes everything usually believed proper in an advanced society: high academic standards, equality of opportunity, good English, minimal obscenity, equality under the law, low rates of crime, reasonable self-reliance, freedom of speech. Black culture, intensely racist, encourages none of these and opposes most. It is tribal, based on identity, instead of principle.

Education is the keystone of any modern civilization. Blacks alone care nothing for it. Exceptions, yes, but again, overall? No. The countless schools entirely controlled by blacks are the worst in America. They do not improve.

Cities have been the heart of the intellectual and artistic in all civilizations, as for example Athens, Rome, Florence, Vienna, New York. By contrast, blacks have destroyed city after American city after American city. Trenton, Camden, Newark, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Gary, Flint, St. Louis, New Orleans, Milwaukee. At one time in all of these one could live, walk at will, send one’s children to the schools. Now, no. Violence, crime, racial attacks,and illiteracy drive the civilized to remote suburbs. This is not my culture and I see no reason to apologize for it.

Manners have been part of all civilizations. Civil societies everywhere impose a degree of control over obscenity. Everyone knows about sex and excretory functions. We leave them out of conversation. We can speak a sentence of three words without saying “motherf**ker” five times.

Dependence on whites is the backbone of black culture. Free breakfast for their children, free lunches, subsidized housing, free housing, AFDC, affirmative action, racial quotas, waivers. Nobody, not blacks, not whites, not the most dewy-eyed liberal expects blacks ever to live without charity from whites. Don’t believe me? Ask an ardent civil-libertarian when he expects blacks to have caught up and not need affirmative action. Never. It is just another entitlement.

What Colin Kaepernick is doing is unconscionable. People who might’ve had an inclination to do so might have second thoughts about providing a good home for a minority child.
