Complete Headline: Colin Kaepernick receives the Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience Award and decries what he calls 'legal lynchings'

Amnesty International gave former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick its Ambassador of Conscience Award on Saturday for his kneeling protest of racial injustice.

[Snip]

In his acceptance speech, the award-winner described police killings of African Americans and Latinos in the United States as lawful lynchings.

'Racialized oppression and dehumanization is woven into the very fabric of our nation - the effects of which can be seen in the lawful lynching of black and brown people by the police, and the mass incarceration of black and brown lives in the prison industrial complex,' Kaepernick said.

Anyone keeping track of bastardized awards?
Such as the Nobel Peace Prize, the Oscars, Pulitzer, etc....
These mesh nicely with bastardized college degrees such as journalism, sociology, political “science”, eddikashun, and anything with “studies” in it.
And finally money? With the U.S. dollar up next...thanks to democrats and the republicrats.
CW-II is going to very interesting.

Amnesty International is a bunch of cowardly leftist who love to lie and perpetuate propaganda.

All the awards in the world are NOT gonna put him on the football field again.

He has made himself into a toothless tiger whose intelligence was already questionable from the onset.

” Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience Award”
worth as much as the nobel peace prize.
Getting picture on GQ is worth nothing, like Kaepernick.

The Left doesn’t actually do any work...they talk and self-congratulate, and award each h other...nothing more.

In terms of prestige and significance that Kaepernick award is right up there with the Nobel prize Barack Obama won for being part black.

Who gives a damn what “awards” he gets? He only gets awards from groups that hate America and use him like a puppet. He is nothing but a house boy for those groups but not smart enough to understand that.
