I as always agree with your premise on this. However you are incorrect in your MLK comment.
<<< his intentions were to be the next MLK type figure >>>
MLK called himself a conservative, and I have a lot of admiration for MLK.
Actually, Kaepernick has worn shirts with Malcolm X pictured as his hero, as he has with Fidel Castro.
Malcolm X was a 1960's far left radical who encouraged violence. MLK also from the 1960's, never preached violence, and gained fame and respect for comments such as (paraphrase) judge people by the content of their character, not by their skin color - I completely agree with that.
MLK was a uniter. Malcolm X was a hateful divider, which is one reason why the societal malignancy named Colin Kaepernick adores him so much.
Those who ignorantly support Colin Kaepernick shouldn't be fooled by him. I think if many out there understood the real reasons behind the kneeling protests, they would run away from their support of Colin Kaepernick.
Notice that there were very few kneelers the first week in the NFL. Word is getting around as to what Colin Kaepernick is truly all about.

"willing to give up everything"
Actually that is a totally false narrative. Those such as Colin Kaepernick don't wish to give up anything. They want to take everything...and that is a stone cold fact.
Right now there are four threads in the top 10 that cast current and former black athletes in a negative light:
* is Colin Kaepernick a jerk?
* is LeVeon Bell a punk?
* is Serena Williams a cheat?
* Derek Jeter is making all American-born players and coaches learn Spanish
These four threads were started by four different people.

Nope just facts. If white althetes were making sound topics to discuss we would be on top of them. Can you name anyone we are missing Geordie? Or are you just jumping at any opportunity to be overly defensive for Black people?

I have no doubt that there have been law enforcement officers who have done bad things, criminal things. Instances of this have been noted on the news. But there have also been outright assassinations of police offices by the very people Kaepernick claims he is representing.
There is also racism left in this country, but many African-Americans have done very well in the county. They have done much better than many others of their race have done in other parts of the world.
To kneel, week after week in condemnation of the entire country, like we are something like Apartite South Africa, is just plain wrong. If Kaepernick really wanted to or had the brains to really make a positive difference, he should have articulated it in a more objective manner. As it is he just comes off as an angry, hate filled guy who has been able to laugh all the way to the bank with many millions of dollars he has earned from the system he roundly condemns.
He has also damaged the system which has brought great wealth to the race Kaepernick says he represents. As such Kaepernick deserves to be ignored, not praised as some sort of great civil rights leader.

Actually Geordie I think you are looking for any excuse to support your agenda and I call that frothing at the mouth, I would say that to anyone that has brought up as many incorrect opinions about what might be racism here. Your post about us picking on Black people offended me straight up, it’s your politically correct way of calling us racists and you have insinuated that numerous times. The funny thing is your white and the same black people you are defending wouldn’t defend you under any circumstances. I call it the way I see it, I’ve already stated I won’t let this come between our long standing friendship here Geordie and it won’t on my end, if it does on your end then so be it, I still respect you and enjoy your input outside of this thread.

Right out of the ol' playbook. A staunch defender of Sacred White Identity accuses a white man (who was almost an articulate black man) and who is defending a half white/half black man, who in turn is protesting harsh treatment by police officers of black men and women, of judging people based on their skin color. Well played, Herr Glickmeister.

Am I the only one that has noticed that the ones bitching the most in this thread are the "overly patriotic white men"? But riiiiight, I'm the snowflake.
Don't have much of an opinion on the Redskins, but I can see how the name might offend a Native American. I've got other things I'm much more passionate about, though.
Urge to destroy statues? Nope. Would I like to see all Confederate statues removed to a museum? Yep. The Confederate South were traitors to the United States, and they fought for, among other things, the right to own other human beings. That is a part of our nation's history, albeit a shameful part. In my opinion, that can be memorialized in a museum of some sort.
What is it with you guys and Chicago, Chicago, Chicago. There's crime in other cities, too. But sure, let's solve Chicago. Hey, how about this? Let's talk about the fact that almost all mass shootings are committed by bat-bleep crazy white guys? No? Okay, back to Chicago, I guess.
So why did Kaepernick kneel? Why did Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson kneel yesterday?
Because Botham Jean, who was killed in his own apartment by an officer who thought she was in her apartment. She first claimed the door was locked, then that the door was partially open, then that she gave him verbal commands that he didn't obey - because he was in his own place and didn't have to obey commands from an off-duty officer who didn't have a warrant or exigent circumstances.

In other news, Nike stock closed today at $82.10, which means they have recovered all but $0.10 of their slide on August 31. Angry White outrage doesn't seem to have had any kind of long-lasting effect.

I mentioned LA, and Mark really didn’t like my counterpoint and you might have missed it Geordie? That police officer shooting the guy in the apartment has more details that have yet to come out, there are people that claim to have seen them together before on social media or something in person not quite sure. I see you addressed several people but me, Now Geordie since you mentioned the word “Passionate” and I assume your talking about changing bad white peoples views on social injustes let me ask you this, what do you do about it besides indicate that us bad white guys are racist? Oh and where did you find that liberal trump hating photoshop pic? It’s hilarious that you people are actually are saying she is blowing her nose when she is clearly scratching her cheekbone, nice try though.
What do I do? I have real-world conversations with as many people as I can get to sit down with me. People from my former church world. People whose backgrounds I used to shun and vilify. People of different faiths than my own. I'm not having as many conversations as I'd like, but each one allows me to gain insight into views that I had never considered before. I might not agree with some or most of them, but I get to know the real person behind those views, lifestyle and faiths. That's a good thing, imo.
I vote, and encourage others to register to vote, regardless of who they'll be voting for. I promote candidates who aren't beholden to lobbyists with deep pockets. And for the first time in my life, I participated in a peaceful protest on March 24. I may do more of that kind of thing, but I dunno. That took me way outside my comfort zone.
Oh, and I'm learning Spanish. It's a cool language and one that will serve me well if I plan to spend the rest of my life on the west coast.
Beyond that, there's not much I can do, other than be the best husband/father/dog lover/person I can be in my little corner of the planet.
Thanks for asking.
ps: I did see that you commented on L.A. You and I both know that Chicago is the most-used "whataboutism" in these kinds of conversations, though.
Well Geordie then I commend you for actually doing something about how you feel. Now it’s making sense why you are so passionate about this, you are a church goer, I get it now. My mother is a huge Church person so I do have respect for that even though it’s not my thing. Have a nice evening and thanks for responding

MLK was not a saint by any stretch, do some research. That being said, I was probably wrong I should have said Al Sharpton figure
For the record I do agree 100% with MLk’s main message though. All men should be treated equally and judged by their character
We all know about MLK and his rendezvous with a lot of women, if that's what you were referring to.
However I fully supported the naming a holiday after him. He deserved it.
MLK helped bring our country together, and that is a historical fact...something Colin Kaepernick with his real intentions, has no interest in doing.

Oh, and I'm learning Spanish. It's a cool language and one that will serve me well if I plan to spend the rest of my life on the west coast.
Beyond that, there's not much I can do, other than be the best husband/father/dog lover/person I can be in my little corner of the planet.
Thanks for asking.
ps: I did see that you commented on L.A. You and I both know that Chicago is the most-used "whataboutism" in these kinds of conversations, though.

Well Geordie then I commend you for actually doing something about how you feel. Now it’s making sense why you are so passionate about this, you are a church goer, I get it now. My mother is a huge Church person so I do have respect for that even though it’s not my thing. Have a nice evening and thanks for responding

If everybody did this it would be a GREAT world!
ya except cats are better than dogs
No way man. Dogs are a mans best friend...…..cats can't be trusted.
now I AM offended! 😂
My wife and I have always had a cat and two dogs. Our current kitty is a snowshoe Siamese. I’m his chosen human - he actually walks the block with us when I take one of my dogs for a walk.

Chicago is toast. Detroit of two decades ago. They will manage to carve out some safe spaces, but the heart is gone.
Dogs have masters, cats have servants...we all know this.
Cat's are always sitting around trying to think of ways to kill ya.
If anyone's cat thinks there is another human out there who will serve them better food, then they probably would.
And regardless of how cool your cat is, he or she is always plotting your painful death.

Hey I want to get in on this too.
My 130 lb baby bullmastiff Cam. She’s a lover. Lives for kisses

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Wow.....I bet those kisses are wet!
Our cat, George and our American Bulldog, Ella. Ella has never lost her fascination for her brother.
