Ted Cruz scored a “pick six” on Colin Kaepernick.

Let Kapernick keep talking. About 1/2 of the people in the US really appreciate him continuously proving what an idiotic a$$hole he really is.

Slavery was instituted in Colonial Pre America.

America abolished Slavery.

Democrats are losers.

Kaepernick's idiocy is typical of people who come from dysfunctional ethnic/cultural backgrounds and simply don't have what it takes to succeed. They utterly resent the fact that "their people" couldn't have built what we have here in the U.S. today if you gave them 10,000 years to do it.

50 years ago this month, an American man became the first human being to walk on the moon. Today, we have a black Congresswoman in Texas who once asked if the flag he planted there would be found by the terrestrial vehicle NASA sent to Mars. Low expectations and the absence of standards in any walk of life will never fix stupid.

“This shows how ignorant the left is.”

More likely they think everyone beyond their clique is ignorant.

I doubt Kaepernick is a history buff, some shadow group (his GF?) trains him and points to the TV cameras.

Frederick Douglass was a great Republican orator and minister of the Gospel, better than any Republican now living. While he was still a slave, he taught literacy to other slaves by reading to them from the New Testament and preaching its plain implications. For this he was flogged almost to death.

It is the role of midgets, I think, to stand on their tippytoes and take potshots at the great.

Slave from early 1800s to Kaepernick; "You mean to tell me you can go where you want, when you want and some company hired you for millions of dollars to play a game? And you are complaining?

Come here, boy."

Vintage Frederick Douglass:

"Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, “What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us

"If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!

"If you see him on his way to school, let him alone, don’t disturb him! If you see him going to the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the ballot- box, let him alone, don’t disturb him! [Applause.] If you see him going into a work-shop, just let him alone,—your interference is doing him a positive injury."

Frederick Douglass, from “What the Black Man Wants”


We need a heapin' helpin' more of that.

I do find it very pertinent that he makes money in the most unproductive, least helpful (to the society) and laziest manner possible...by being a celebrity, tweeting his vapid thoughts, and having his photo taken.

Not knowing the moon from Mars from tilting Guam is par for that course.

Kap should work for the media. He is very good at selecting words to fit his narrative and leaving out the words that do not fit. What a selective liar Kapernick is.

which sought to end the practice of slavery, before and during the Civil War. After that conflict and the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862, he continued to push for equality and human rights until his death in 1895.

Douglass’ 1845 autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, described his time as a slave in Maryland. It was one of five autobiographies he penned, along with dozens of noteworthy speeches, despite receiving minimal formal education.

An advocate for women’s rights, and specifically the right of women to vote, Douglass’ legacy as an author and leader lives on. His work served as an inspiration to the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and his name even became part of 21st-century political discourse, after he was referenced in a speech by President Donald Trump for Black History Month 2017.

You're are probably also against women votes like a typical male chauvinist pig

Watched an old short Film on TCM last week regarding the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

There was a line in the original Draft of the Declaration that Slavery must be ended, but Benjamin Franklin told the others that would doom all the Colonies from agreeing to it.

It was stated that the issue of Slavery would have to be addressed at a later time to get the Declaration ratified by all Thirteen Colonies.

It was a very tenuous situation with the Loyalists doing everything they could to make sure it didn’t happen.

From what I’ve read about Kaepernick’s parentage
(white biological mama + black daddy he never knew)
and upbringing
(white lefty-lib adoptive parents)
Ima conclude he’s suffering from white guilt over his white privilege.

His radical posturing, & stirring up racial strife is nothing more or less than acting out, to get his daddy’s attention & reconnect.

Obama Syndrome.

It would be a hoot if a courageous white person were to tell these race baiting fools: the only reason none of you have been castrated and put up for sale on a Muslim slave block (assuming you survived the process) and your wives stripped naked and put up for sale as well, is because of Christian white people; they are the ones who started the movement to abolish slavery and it is because of them that you are where you are today.
