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 think you have a crush on me.

And I think you want me to have a crush on you.

Post on Free Republic, you're going to get replies. That doesn't mean you're popular, little narcissist. Especially in your case.

It's incredible that even has to be spelled out for you.

She’s older than him. As for hot...from the waist up she’s kinda cute. From the waist down it’s Hillary Clinton.

Congratulations! That sounds similar to when my son joined the Air Force, four years ago. I was so impressed at the ceremony; all kids should have military training instead of the crap that they are fed with in today’s schools.

It’s thrilling to see all those young people instilled with a sense of maturity and comradery!

Yes I heard they have just finished the crucible and have arrived at the parade deck in order to give their oath, say a prayer, and then receive their globe and anchor which then they will become marines in about the next half hour. So proud, shame he has to serve under this empty suit for the next few months.
Congrats to your son.

"or will he be relegated to 3rd string status because he showed the whole world he’s an ungrateful, flaming asshole."

There's no way any team can keep a $20 million dollar third string QB on the roster. If he doesn't win the starting job in camp he will be cut.

Really, do you have any notion how many Africans vote for Africans just because they are black? Actually, his attitude of race pimping is representative of the majority of Africans. I contend he is quite typical.

Thank you.
I had an argument today with a Clinton voter who told me he will vote for her , because she will run the country better .
Yes that is how stupid liberals are, even with all the facts of her in front of him.

Thursday we get to see him and cannot wait. Sunday we can have our first phone call since he left over 3 months ago. He only had just graduated high school too.

I feel your pain. I have a thirty something married for 12 years daughter that somehow got influenced by liberals. I think I’m making inroads somewhat with her libertarian husband. I post pookies toons on facebook every chance I get. LOL! It will be a marvelous experience to see your son as he graduates basic!!

it will be a day never to be forgot.
All this liberal kept saying is how racist Trump is and yet I kept asking him to present any facts and they gave nothing. Then he said Trump has broken laws and still when asked which ones, nothing.

It is like talking to a child talking to a Dem voters I swear.

I am making inroads with our system admin; a millennial who voted for Obummer twice!! BWA HA HA. He says he can’t bring himself to vote for Shrillarly!! It helps that I’m an assistant network analyst. I’m in my mid fifties yet I’m learning bash shell to program raspberry pies and WSUS.

I think he admires the fact that I’m an “oldster” yet willing to learn “new” technology AND I’m conservative politically!
