EthanHe was in the right
PenPineappleApplePenHe screwed his career up
ĆäśśïëQüëëńit's pretty fucked up.
🐫👑MirandaIsAware👑🐫He has a right not to stand. It's like the right to free speech but inverse no one can force you to do that it's ridiculous. And he had a reason too- a good reason. I know someone who didn't say the pledge in school because it says "under God", which she doesn't believe in, and she isn't overly fond of America, and honestly I agree. Does she deserve to be shamed and jobless and shit? No.
People should leave him alone there are way worse famous people than that guy like c'mon
PenPineappleApplePenThank Odickhead
EthanPlus, one of the original verses of the star spangled banner was about dying slaves
🐫👑MirandaIsAware👑🐫Didn't some baseball player assault a 70 year old? Why does no one talk about that? Instead everyone's harassing this dude who just wants black peoples to be able to live without fearing for their lives like cmon
ĆäśśïëQüëëńI think it's wrong. Basketball players have it written in their contracts, and the worst part is Colin Kapernick is half white, adopted and raised by white parents. I don't think it is right because like Mandi said he is paid millions upon millions of dollars to frolic on a field in tight pants smacking other dudes on their asses for a few hours. There are people who would KILL to make that kind of money and I think that if you can't stand for a few minutes to represent our country as one, then he can find another job. This is tearing our country apart, racism and I think that it's not that hard to stand. It's sad that black people are calling white people racist, but white people are labeled racists just because. And the black lives matter movement is just an excuse for rioting and killings. When a Black man is killed, it's blown up, and everyone is losing their heads, but a white police officer is killed, who cares? That's part of the job. The most common cause of black people death is by another black man. That's all I have to say. I'm not really up for debate.
🐫👑MirandaIsAware👑🐫Can someone please for the love of god explain to me how his income/career is at all relative to his personal beliefs? Because you all seem to think he owes the government love because of his wealth and I'm not seeing the connection here
🐫👑MirandaIsAware👑🐫also white people can care about black lives too; that's a thing for people who aren't racist pieces of trash so I don't know why you're acting like caring about it is bad? And he's still part black so even if there was logic behind the white part it still doesn't make sense overall?
🐫👑MirandaIsAware👑🐫"Not that hard to stand" innocent people are dying !!! Black people are afraid of driving because they might get shot for nothing and you want them to just take it??? Jesus Christ
🐫👑MirandaIsAware👑🐫And you're playing that off as nothing saying its "not that hard to stand" yet you can't tolerate people saying white people are racist. Like black peoples being shot is fine but white people being called racist is horrible
🐫👑MirandaIsAware👑🐫this is so problematic I can't even
🌸Miss_Mandi_Mae🌸But police are being targeted because of their career. This country would be chaos without the police and advocates of this cause seem to clash with the police. But who protects them when they are in danger? Police. Your point works for both sides, so therefor is invalid.
🌸Miss_Mandi_Mae🌸police who have done no harm for that matter.
EthanMuhammad Ali. Tommie Smith. John Carlos. All of them were vilified by white america for speaking out about social injustice and are now held in high esteem by the same people. I'm not saying that Kaepernick will have the lasting impact as these men have had, but eventually this will all blow over and the blind conservative white people will have to conform to the new norms of our society.
