Colin Kaepernick and all of his blind sheep followers genuinely believe he’s some sort of modern-day prophet, but the rest of us know the actual truth.
He’s a sensationalist. Kaepernick used the American flag and the National Anthem in such an unpatriotic manner knowing it would have a nationwide divisive effect, but that’s the extent of what he knows.
And Colin Kaepernick just proved once again that he has no clue what he’s talking about on this key American issue.
When Colin Kaepernick first kneeled during an NFL preseason game over three years ago, the message as to why he did it was ambiguous. We never got a clear answer at first but in the coming weeks, we learned it was specifically about police brutality against minorities.
But what Kaepernick and his supporters failed to understand is that NFL fans weren’t offended by raising awareness on this issue; it was when he did it during a specific part of the pregame that he decided to protest.
The American flag and National Anthem are symbols of overcoming tyranny and oppression. The flag’s symbol of freedom is magnified by our ancestors who gave their lives for it and those that are putting it all on the line right now.
Kaepernick’s protest was either misinformed or misguided. That’s why millions of people were angry including the NFL.
And it was no surprise to see Kaepernick tweet a “lesson” on American history following the U.S. airstrike that killed General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s secretive Quds Force and one of the country’s most powerful figures, who has killed hundreds of Americans.
He began by writing, “There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism.”
There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism.

Terrorist attack? Would Kaepernick consider capturing and executing Osama Bin Laden a terrorist attack too? What’s the difference? Both Bin Laden and Gen. Soleimani were both evil terrorists.
He must’ve been uninformed on what Gen. Soleimani has done, right?
Kaepernick ignorantly elaborated that the United States “has always sanctioned and besieged Black and Brown bodies at home and abroad.”
America has always sanctioned and besieged Black and Brown bodies both at home and abroad. America militarism is the weapon wielded by American imperialism, to enforce its policing and plundering of the non white world.

The last part, in particular, is grossly inaccurate because now we know Kaepernick definitely has no idea about Gen. Soleimani’s history. If he did then he wouldn’t have accused the U.S. government of enforcing “its policing and plundering of the non-white world.”
The reality is President Trump made a decision to take out one of the world’s most evil terrorists. Gen. Soleimani’s race or color has nothing to do with it. In fact, despite Kaepernick’s accusation, it never has before either.
Kaepernick bemoans the oppressed so often but he’s also a hypocrite sponsored by Nike.
The biggest sports apparel company in the world employs Chinese factory workers, which are 80% female, making 20-cents per hour and work upwards of 80 hours a week so that people like LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and yes, Colin Kaepernick can profit off of what is practically slave labor.
He definitely knows but doesn’t speak up about it. Instead, he complains about Nike producing a shoe with the Betsy Ross flag on it.
But then he’ll post something like this:
We hit up #BayArea @shoepalace stores & surprised ppl buying my 1st shoe!ALL profits from the purchase of my shoe from Shoe Palace go back to orgs in the community fighting systemic oppression. I’ll post the orgs receiving donations soon. Thank you for all the love & support!✊🏾🖤 pic.twitter.com/1Rn4f1GU5t

Kaepernick is a clown and only cherry-picks what suits his victimized narrative. And he’ll only defend those that don’t ultimately affect his bottom line.
