I liked watching kaepernick when he was the starting QB...I liked his line drive passes and his 15 yard dashes...I respect him for standing up for the less fortunate and don't buy into the haters who think he's a terrorist...Squiddly..
Hello? The dude is a f*#king walking testament to how awesome and compassionate the United States is.
He was abandoned by his black father when he and his white Mom were young. The loser mother then abandoned him too to adoption. Good thing he wasn't aborted, huh?
A couple of aging white folks wanted to adopt another boy into their family and welcomed young Colin into their home. He did well in his new home and with his new caring parents.
For this little rotten punk to come out this way now and blame America for it's race problems is utter bullsh#t, and quite hypocritical given his past.
He is here BECAUSE of white American compassion. Sorry we can't help all forgotten minority kids, but we're doing the best we can.
I'm tired of this blame whitey crap. F*#k you, move to Nigeria or South Africa if you think whitey is too racist for your precious ass!
I'm tired of this bullshit!!!

Bigotry in America is very active...
Looks like it might even be growing...
Explain how.
EDIT: let me help you out, Locker.
Law/Order and the hand of justice is out of control in this country. We have people in the highest offices of our government who appear to be above the law that usually convicts 'smaller' people.
The average joe still gets pulled over and harassed for the usual sh#t, even bald tires gets you a f*#king fix-it ticket that, if unresolved, turns into a bench warrent.
Next time you get pulled over for speeding, guess what, you have 'bench warrent' for not taking care of your other sh#t. The LAW NEVER FORGETS THE 'SMALLER' MAN. You got to jail overnight and probably make bail.
That's how me and you are dealt with. Like every other 'smaller' person. Doesn't matter what color you are. Crying about race is bullsh#t. All 'smaller' people get f*#ked with the same. Some of us have learned how to avoid confrontations with the law. Mostly.
Some haven't. It ain't about race. It's about class. You can literally get away with murder if you're connected, even espionage.
Me or you dont pay our parking tickets? We know what happens.

blahblahblah wrote... I don't know what Kaepernick's father's specific make-up is, but since most black Americans have a substantial amount of European ancestry
I thought for sure blahblahblah was talking out his ass, but a little digging around indicates that American descendants of slaves are anywhere between %20-%30 white. For men alone, the figure is about %35. But, for Kaepernick, it looks like he's at %95 Hamburgler.

You know bluering instead of always trying to convince everyone you are right and know what's going on, you should listen to what other people think and try to have some empathy for people of different backgrounds. Not only will you come across a lot better and understand other points of view, you'll probably save yourself from an aneurysm.

The problem with people like you is that you assume I'm stupid and have not only not thought about the sh#t I spew, but I haven't lived it and seen it. I have, trust me.
I'm tired of the bullsh#t. Empathy? I have a lot. Like Afican Elephants, I have tons of empathy there.
People breaking windows and looting stores is not civil justice, and will get you the opposite. If people stopped and thought, they could fix this. Quietly.
Instead, everybody wants an excuse to get in the news, break things, and be a 'leader' of the cause.
They don't understand they're doing so much more damage than good. It drives me crazy!!!

I am puzzled as I thought that you were part of the group that believed in responsibility.
Who EXACTLY should be blamed for the race problems in America??

No Bluering I don't think you're stupid. From what you post I can tell you are intelligent. But you do not display empathy for people of different backgrounds who you are at odds with, you usually vilify them.
We are talking about Kaep who is trying to fix this "quietly".
Have you ever been discriminated against because of your long hair? I had a few comments back in the day because I had long hair, once from a potential employer and once I heard it second hand that it had come from the CEO of my company. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But I've experienced a TINY bit of discrimination.
No imagine it's your skin color and you can't change it. Would you just live with the injustice or want to do something about it?
I totally agree that violence or vandalism is totally lame and counterproductive.

You've had this explained to you ad nauseam over years. If you still don't know and lack the the curiosity to do some research on your own it's just willful ignorance at this point. Fingers in your ears insisting this can't be true.
The insistence that white America has that tens of millions of non-white Americans are incorrectly articulating their experience living in our country is a defensive mass delusion. We can't even respect our fellow countrymen enough to acknowledge that maybe our personal experience isn't the universal American experience.

Most of my friends and coworkers are white and Asian and mixed race ....I don't even know what race some of my coworkers are. They all have different opinions and ideas about race and just about everything else. Maybe there are places where white people are all alike but I have not seen it where I have lived. I think phrases like "white America" or "black America" don't really say anything useful and is even a bit racist because it assumes that all people in a race think alike, which I know they don't.

Seriously?

No. Not seriously.
Comical.
Kinda reminds me of the joke about a black man wearing a tux to his vasectomy.

Lol....this isn't Tinder! Why do you ask? I'm not a Trump fan if that's what you want to know....you were looking at the hat, lol? No of course it's not me and I know you already googled it. She does kinda look like me except I'm not quite so.... I'll let you guess the rest!
Oh, Is that a picture of you in YOUR avatar? Weird but cute I guess!

It's a big country and while some places are diverse there are also still color lines and segregation. The best tracts of land are controlled largely by WASP land deals and WASP banks and a largely plantation economy. As hard as my or your German ancestors may have had it in some generations, there is no comparison to the generational disenfranchisement and abuses experienced by American First Nations and the descendants of African Slaves. That is all.
