He's so oppressed with the millions of dollars that he's made from playing football.
When did that happen to him? Can you specify one instance of Mr. Kaepernick being pulled over for "being black"? I'll wait.
Yet meanwhile, in the real world, Mr. Kaepernick has raked in millions from owner Jed York. White guy. His movement to take a knee during the "Star Spangled Banner" was copied by players with the Miami Dolphins and backed by owner Stephen Ross... white guy. He can afford a mansion, luxury automobiles, and has access to more material wealth than most folks will ever seen in their lives because he can throw a football and juke defenders. But yeah... he's oppressed. **** outta here.
Ah but he hasn't. So your claim is that racism exists? This is a truly groundbreaking find. Next you'll claim water is wet and the board might crash as a result.
White people can also get pulled over for ******** reasons by black and Hispanic cops. Your point being what, again?
Wait. So he should have a job as an NFL QB because some police officers racially profile their traffic stops?
I don't think he really knows what he thinks on the matter and is just sticking to his ideological playbook. He's kind of all over the place. Probably one of those people that reflexively apologizes to another guy when he holds the door for him and the other guy doesn't say "thank you".
Eh, I'm not how rampant being pulled over for [insert skin color here] is in 2017, but racism does exist everywhere, with everyone (at some point or another). That's the price we pay for the human eye seeing in 1,000,000 different shades. Racism has existed since the dawn or man in one form or another and it will exist long after our bones have turned to dust and daisies are pushed up out of the ground above our coffins. That does not mean that it's as rampant as Kaepernick makes it out to be. That also does not mean that Kaepernick is oppressed in any way, shape or form. With as much money he's made and as much exposure as he's had for playing football, if Kaepernick is "oppressed", as his idiot girlfriend will have everyone believe, then sign me up for some of that "oppression", too.
Well let's not get silly. His moronic use of racial profiling in this argument doesn't mean it doesn't exist at all. This is not the place to debate the dynamics that go into it but it's also safe to say that all traffic stops, and the ones referred to by racial profiling discussions are not happening at 80 mph.
Like I said not the place for this discussion. I was just pointing out that you can't tell the race of a driver at 80 mph is a silly way to say it doesn't happen.
There is rarely consistency or logic in the actions of someone who's primary goal is calling attention to themselves.
