Colin Kaepernick's Nike deal

I wonder if Finn realizes that Rosa Parks wasn't White.

Why would anyone burn their shoes in protest just because a black man decided to say something about the injustice of black people being shot by the police.

If this had happened during the civil rights to Martin Luther King, would people have burned their Bibles?

The man simply kneeled down during the national anthem. I've always been taught that kneeling is a form of respect.

We as Americans should come together to treat all of our citizens equally, and let them voice their opinion in situations that could pertain to them.

Protesting this man for finding a job is simply racism, and prejudice toward black people.

Is this behavior Christian, or civil.

Put yourself ,for a minute in his place,

and stop burning shoes.

I think it is more ignorance or totally understanding what Colin is trying to do. I think it is more a lack of understanding on each side.

It is pretty clear that what he is trying to do, and is in fact doing, is calling for black people to be allowed to murder police officers with impunity.

I personally don't think that kneeling during the national anthem disrespects veterans.

I know that people have fought wars to be able to have freedom of speech, and Colin was exercising his freedom of speech. Why are people protesting so harshly.

This man has not been able to find a job because of his protest, do you think this is fair.

I would expect this to happen in a communist country, but not America where all races of people have fought for the right for freedom of speech.

For someone to get so personally involved to attempt to keep this man unemployed is pure racism in my opinion.

I can't believe that it is not your intent to lie here.

You are saying that Colin Kaepernick is "calling for black people to be allowed to murder police officers with impunity".

This is by very definition a lie, it is not factual,

and what he is actually saying is on the public record.

You are saying (repeatedly) a bald-faced lie.

No I'm not a veteran nor have I fought in a war, but I know that what Kaepernick was attempting to protest against injustice.

I know that people of all races have served in the army, but at one point the black men that served had to come home to injustice, and some were even killed. This is about Kaepernick being able to exercise his right of speech without retaliation against him.

Don't ask if your dreams are crazy. Ask if they are crazy enough.

Bullshit Oralloy! I am assuming that you have enough neurons in your brain to make a complete synapse. What you are saying is so idiotic, and so clearly wrong, that when you continue to repeat it, you are passing from ideological to ridiculous.

Kaepernick has spoken quite a bit about his protest. Go ahead, provide a single quote where he says anything even remotely like what you are claiming he is calling for.

You are just repeating to yourself who "I am factual, I am factual" as if you are some cultish trance.
You are being utterly ridiculous.

Rosa Parks was a liberal, Black, civil rights activist who agitated for change and pissed of White conservatives (much like Kaepernick is doing). I am quite sure that were she alive... she would support Colin Kaepernick's protest. How do I know this? Because every civil rights leader who is still alive supports it (as I have heard).

It is funny how after civil rights leaders die, White Conservatives try to claim them as their own... the same people who opposed them when they were living. This also happened to Martin Luther King.

... [Kaepernick;s] call for black people to be allowed to murder police officers with impunity

This is a bald faced lie.

Show me a quote where he said that black people should be allowed to murder police officers.

You are making this up with zero evidence.

You are claiming he says this.
In fact, he never said this. It is a lie.

You aren't even pretending to care about "facts" any more.

This is blind ideology with no regard whatsoever for the actual truth.
