Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Colin Kaepernick Is The Black Grinch For Those Who Dream Of A White America

[Pluvious]

Will we ever become a united country ?

And fuck Fox four ways from Friday !!

When Colin Kaepernick tweeted on Thanksgiving the white-wing media immediately jumped on it. Breitbart, the Washington Times, Fox News immediately attacked the tweet, which read: “Spent the morning at the Indigenous People’s Sunrise Ceremony on the 50 year anniversary of the Occupation of Alcatraz. The US government has stolen over 1.5 billion acres of land from Indigenous people. Thank you to my Indigenous family, I’m with you today and always.”

And this is what Fox News said about the tweet: “Former NFL player Colin Kaepernick had an odd way of celebrating Thanksgiving, attending an event that appeared to serve as a rebuke to the holiday and the United States.”

2. Okay,yes,there are folks

willing to pay 110 bucks for Tennies,some dude paid 50k for a pair recently. Priorities for some are much different than others.

When I heard our Grand Kid went to Van's and dropped 3 bills on Board shoes,all we can say is,it was his pay check,he earned it and his priorities are sure different than ours.

3. I bought two new pairs of Nikes this past year

Both were over $100 and neither were Mr Kaepernick's (they weren't out yet). Just plain old Nikes.

America in the future will just be America. And will be better for it.

8. I remember when "under God" was added to our pledge

and I was in grade school (b. 1947). I already thought
the prayer stuff was silly, "like, you gotta be shittin me".
I know Eisenhower was president so it must have been
about 1954. From that point I became an atheist though
I am not one now. Make belief for kindergarten. I am
a NONES (none). I am white and recognize my lack of
virtues. I treat virtue as an oxymoron.

7. But...what about the facts?

Colin is right.

Native Americans haven't ever really been included in that, unless you acknowledge the first thanksgiving was to commemorate us killing a bunch of them.
