I couldn't agree with you more. Well said.

He's actually pretty talented and has done a lot of songs besides his typical hip hop rock songs.

Heck, look at what happened to RG3. The guy used to be a beast and now he's not on a team, neither. RG3 and Kap both have the same styles at QB, and defenses figured this out a long time ago.

This is why I'm not shocked at Kap not being picked up by a team. But....OH NO EVERYTHING IS RACIST!

You're not kidding he sucks! So bad the Dolphins payed Cutler 10 Mil to come out of retirement once Tannehill went out for the season. Most people have no clue what their talking about they just listen to the MSM and follow what's being said. Besides,Kaep is a major distraction for any team right now and most tune into football to escape all this political BS!

It's not nuanced at all you're right. You should be able to see why a black person, even half black, might not want to always salute this flag or a song with lyrics about killing escaped slaves. It's not nuanced at all. And when you had a outpouring of active military and vets "standing with kaep" it's kills any attempt at "well the troops" as an argument.

Haters, gotta hate. I have native American blood, but I still love this country, and stand for our anthem.

How you, can say all that crap, refuse to salute the flag or stand for our national anthem, but still be a Democrat??????? What????????

Being black, or half black, and bitter about slavery, how can they justify refusing to salute the flag, but be a member of the Democratic Party, the party which created the KKK, the Democratic Party who enshrined slavery, implemented voter poll taxes, the Democratic Party who filibustered the civil Rights Amendment, and stood against equal rights and bringing an end to racial segregation.. that Democratic Party.


If you ask me, every statue of any Democrat needs to be ripped down.

How? It is a flag, not a God. Some people pledge allegiance to a higher Power, beyond country.

The Democrat narrative gets old. The average "black" person knows that the majority of "white" people were indifferent to their experiences, regardless of party.

BTW, a lot of people have a sliver of Native American blood but are culturally White American and live life as such. I grew up around a half Native American (Iroquois). His perception was very different from yours, especially being that his other half was Black American. Those who were predominantly white with a little Native American blood carried just as much prejudice toward him as many others.

So yea, haters gonna hate what they can't understand.

Kaepernick is exeercising his free speech. Not only that he does plenty positive for people of African heritage from here to Africa. So I personally take no issue with him.

It's a small world.

But then, maybe that's why Kid Rock is yapping...he figures that he won't see dude. But one never knows.

Funny how liberals are all for pointing out that the first amendment only applies to the restriction of speech by government and that private businesses can impose consequences for employees whose speech is contrary to the businesses values etc.

Until it happens to a liberal espousing SJW crapola.
