Did you edit your comment about his girlfriend? I thought you mentioned she was black but it's not there anymore.
She's Egyptian.

Egypt = from the continent of Africa = African descent = Black(ish).

This. Egyptian is just a nationality. Bliss saying that she's Egyptian doesn't tell me anything about her race (or even her ethnicity/tribe).

I'm specifically talking about the line in Whitlock's tweet where he says "Revolutionaries aren't sponsored by major corporations". I don't know how anybody can argue against that.

You can bet that MLK had high roller endorsers in the 1960s that kept his foot soldiers and family out of poverty.

Having benefactors and sponsors when you're on the front lines of civil rights battles is not necessarily a bad thing.

Anyway, 2/3 of NIKE's customers are 35 and younger. For this generation Kaepernick is a millennial Nelson Mandela.

From what I understand, in MLK's later years in the late 60's, he was hated AF & had low approval ratings EVEN IN BLACK AMERICA.

I bet MLK wasn't getting co-signs or support from major corporations when he went Leftist & started talking like this:


 
It all boils down to one thing: People need to put food on their table, and we can't really blame them for everything they do to make that happen.

Americans who dislike him protesting the flag and anthem aren't "in any ditch" nor are they going after "Blacks" or "Colin".
It's been stated repeatedly, his method to disrespect the flag and anthem is offensive to many. He had an enormous platform to choose from, yet chose the most vile path.

The flag and all its glory allows him the freedom to protest against police brutality. So go protest it then. It's like him slapping his woman to protest domestic violence.

It's interesting because I'd bet much that many of those who were offended are some of the same supposedly fed up with PC stuff and/or others being offended. Logically... Kaepermick, like anyone else chose a method in which he felt the message would have it's greatest reach. Those "offended" people have been tryng to take away his platform for their own selfish (and racist) reasons. I recall reading one who suggested that he protests before he comes to the ballpark. Well that makes sense if your gaol is to reach zero people.

Colin did make a sacrifice and his opposition knows it. Know why? Because there was a time when people were burning his jerseys, throwing away their season tickets and canceling subscriptions to protest him while saying "Kap threw his entire career away/sacrificed his career for a stupid cause. Hes out of a job. Have fun being broke now. You're really going to give up all those millions idiot. You gave up a good thing". It's only now that he done made a huge impact AND secured the bag that people dont see it as a sacrifice.

Agreed! They totally had him being a fool for blowing an opportunity at more millions, and had much glee at possibility of him going broke.

I'm curious. Given the clear implication of your post, do you think Donald Trump is responsible for the white supremacists who endorse him on social media? What if he refuses to explicitly disavow them?

Of course he's not responsible for who endorses him. Now, if you were to read and watch what every mainstream leftist activist media pundit and hosts spout, along with comments from certain members here, he is "100% responsible" for them.
So which is it?
How about the most obvious, which is no.
At least President Trump disavowed their support.
Why is a murderous dictator and executioner enemy endorsing Colin and even speaking on our NFL? NFL??

Don't even try to compare this to the PC crap going on. You think this is equivalent to addressing others as sans-genderspecific or assigning new babies a number instead of gender and names, and all the other PC nonsense going on?

As it's been stated over and over and over, he had enormous platforms at his disposal that he ignored in order to specifically thumb his nose at our flag and anthem.

He absolutely could protest before going to work and after. Do you protest against police brutality on your job and if not, why not?

Do you really think you get to decide what I compare and not??? My point is that many of those were supposedly sick and tired of people (people of color, LGBTQ, etc, of course) being offended, and now they're so offended by someone choosing to take a knee for a damn good reason. It's all about deflecting shit, to avoid the real issue.

He did his protest his way, and the haters are crying over it. They'll either get over it or they won't.

Do you really think you can try to compare it to PC NONSENSE and not get called out on it?

So you think it's perfectly ok to complain if l wear hoops, or Tyler wears dreads, or Nicki Minaj wears Asian clothing, or arresting people for not correctly adressing a 'non-binary-gender-neutral-being'in the correct manner they identify as on that day? (Soory not allowed to say human because it contains man or person because it contains son) . Spare me. It's PC bullshit out of control and you know it. In fact your name is offensive in that "Dude" represents toxic-masculinity. Happy?

Bliss!!! I really don't care what you think with the comparison. I already stated my point. What you call nonsense has real people being affected. Also.. You want to be spared... Fine... put me on ignore.

Lol! Nice try! You're the one spewing crap about what you're tired of. Hence, my last sentence.

GenderNeutral... Lol!

Millions have died for that flag. No one's getting over it.
Have a nice day.

...and many get hurt and die at the hands of abusive cops. Those lives are just as important as anyone else, hence, the protest. Kaepernick rightfully isn't backing down. Those people and their BS outrage is all about silencing Kaepernick and nothing else. Even members of the military have come out and stated that he's free to protest as he see fit.

Hope yours' is nice as well.

Of course disrespect towards our flag and anthem is BS outrage...to you. Of course it is.I'd be shocked if it wasn't deemed "BS" by you!

And many many more Military personnel take umbrage at his abusing the flag and anthem to protest ....ANY THING

Two things are correct here: His message anout police brutality is absolutely on point.
He disrespected the flag because he intended to. This is fact.
The flag is in his corner but he wants to spit on it. He said himself he doesn't respect the flag. So for that he can kick rocks. Peace out.

[I edited the quote, but did not change its meaning.]

You contradict yourself. On one hand, Trump isn't responsible for white supremacists who endorse him. On the other hand, Colin needs to explain why a dictator is endorsing him. How is this not a double standard?
