Oh isn't this rich. A man whose 19 year old mother was left hanging, pregnant by the dead beat black man who got her pregnant. So she gave up Colin, who was adopted by white parents, and grew up in a "white privilege" home.
There, his parents were able to send him to college, where his football talent landed him a big fat NFL contract. And now he doesn't want to show pride to a country, who by its very nature of freedom to pursue our dreams, is responsible for the fact that a baby, that neither birth parents wanted, would not be left to survive on the streets, like so many other countries & cultures, but instead would be welcomed into the home of complete strangers, of a different color, who would love him and help him achieve his dreams.
You are a real class act Mr. Kaepernick. It's the sick, self centered attitude like yours that is ruining this country. Race has nothing to do with it. You make me sick with your millions of dollars, fancy clothes & cars and privileged back ground. You're not out of Compton baby. I don't even see how you identify with the Blacks. You're certainly not living in the poverty level they live in. You just want attention.
When it all comes down to it. You don't care about race, poverty, rampant gang violence or any of the problems that Black America faces. All you care about is yourself. - posted on NFL FB page
Plus, this country and its anthem has nothing to do with how this country is being ran by. Americans voted for these people to be in power.
He shouldn't protest, but to educate people on who they vote for in their communities
