**** like this makes you realize how many racists you really know.
It should actually be the opposite. If they come to the realization that they DO hold power when making a political stance they'd do it more often. It's already been said earlier in the thread, but which sponsors are going to be ending their partnerships with athletes because they stood up to social injustice? Bigot CEOs would only be exposing themselves and risking losing revenue from blacks and other minority groups. Brandon Marshall got cut by some credit union but he also got picked up by Russell Simmons, so I'd say that's a come up.View media item 2170509
Can you blame my generation, subjected gentrification,
Depicting their frustrations over ill instrumentation
Cause music is the way to convey to you what I'm facing,
Placing my life in front of your eyes for your observation
Now if you can't relate then maybe you are too complacent,
Athletes today are scared to make Muhammad Ali statements
Not defending the study, but I work in statistics, and you certainly need around that number to extrapolate those numbers to a fairly large populous.
not even popularity - only 500 people polled (we can guess who) and we can draw this "conclusion"
not that this points to the greater issue of gentrication in SF
Brandon RoyGarfield Seattle right?
They realer than the Seahawks
Did he just use that tweet and Kaepernick's popularity to promote a clothing line though?Can you blame my generation, subjected gentrification,

"Dominicans aren't black...."Funniest thing is that his knuckles and other parts of his hands are still Dominican/black. Can't bleach those parts

Bruh...why are they kneeling tho.........
Is bowing down considered somehow more defiant than standing up now?
I mean sweet protest and all, if bowing down and kneeling hadn't been one of historys ultimate signs of submission.

[h1]DESCENDANT OF NATIONAL ANTHEM SONGWRITER RIPS COLIN KAEPERNICK[/h1]

but theres this
Old hag had the nerve to say this?? I guess she conveniently forgot about that third verse and the fact that her great great great grandfather was a slave owner. SMH.... when these people's viewpoints die off this world will be much better.
“It just broke my heart to think that someone that gets so much money for playing a ballgame, who is half black, half white would do this," said Shirley Carole Isham, a great great great granddaughter of Key’ and whose ancestry was verified by the Daughters of American Revolution in 1977 when she gained membership to the group. “So many of his black race are oppressed, but it’s not by the whites, it’s by their own people. Look who their leaders are, and the president. Has (Barack Obama) done anything for these people?"
Isham, who lives in Longview, Texas, said Kaepernick’s constitutional right to protest in the manner he has is beside the point.
“If he’s not going to honor his country and his countrymen, he’s dishonoring himself,’’ she told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday. “This tells you an awful lot about him."
Not all descendants of Francis Scott Key share Isham's opinion. Suzanne Key Boyle Herrmann, who is a second cousin of Key, expressed support for Kaepernick.
“He had every right to do what he did,'' said Herrmann, 73, a social worker who lives in Morristown Township, N.J. "And because of what he did it has sparked conversation and conversation is so healthy in this country to have on the issues of equality and rights."
Herrmann said she represented her family in 2014 at the 200th anniversary of Key's writing the national anthem and noted that Key had been a slave owner.
"We as a nation, I think since the anthem was written 202 years ago, have evolved greatly,'' she said. "But I understand protest. I understand how people feel. We have a lot to think about.''
NJ stand up!Her own family don't agree with her.
