Gladys Knight did not bite her tongue when asked about Colin Kaepernick’s ongoing National Anthem protest. Gladys agreed to sing the National Anthem before the start of the Super Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Feb. 3.
The seven-time Grammy winner joins a limited Super Bowl lineup that includes rock band Maroon 5, and rappers Travis Scott, Big Boi and Flo Rida, who will perform during halftime.
When asked about the ongoing protests, Gladys told TMZ.
“I have been in the forefront of this battle longer than most of those voicing their opinions to win the right to sing our country’s Anthem on a stage as large as the Super Bowl LIII. It is unfortunate that our National Anthem has been dragged into this debate when the distinctive senses of the National Anthem and fighting for justice should each stand alone.”
The 74-year-old Atlanta native did say she understood the Black man’s 200-year fight for justice in America, but she will not be intimidated by activists asking her to back out of the Super Bowl.
“I am here today and on Sunday, Feb. 3 to give the Anthem back its voice, to stand for that historic choice of words, the way it unites us when we hear it and to free it from the same prejudices and struggles I have fought long and hard for all my life. No matter who chooses to deflect with this narrative and continue to mix these two in the same message, it is not so and cannot be made so by anyone speaking it. I pray that this National Anthem will bring us all together in a way never before witnessed and we can move forward and untangle these truths which mean so much to all of us.”
Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem after he was benched by the San Francisco 49ers during the 2016 season.
When reporters questioned him for not standing during the Anthem, he claimed he was protesting the anthem until police stopped killing unarmed Black men.
Kaepernick did not protest the anthem or police brutality prior to being benched.

Smh auntie Gladys. Have a seat and take the wig witcha.

Well Gladys said she sanging and THAT, is that. You can’t force a 74 yr old to do nothing or change their minds. They are tough as nails.
Dammit Gladys! ????

Loud applause! We need to listen to the older generation. I will tune in to watch her sing just like every other celebrity sang before her…Whitney, Beyonce, etc. It’s an honor. I support her as a black woman. Police brutality has nothing to do with the National Anthem. Kaepernick had a humongous contract but he didn’t deliver and got benched…then he got all black and proud although his woman is white. I support Gladys Knight…my fellow black woman.
The older generation don’t always realize opinions evolve and change in younger generations she’s free to do as she likes . I love America but it continues to be racists as hell .
Netflix is fire.
You stoopid

Gladys: I said what I said
Gladys… I’m gonna need for you to stay in your lane!
We need you to SING… and ONLY sing!
If you don’t bring up Colin… I won’t bring up questionable things in your past!
Thank you!
I mean folks need to cut it …. and yes she fought in the struggle …. but damn let’s not act like…. you saw this as an opportunity .. for…. (self) to come up …. has nothing to do with unity …. cause if it was ya damn sure wouldn’t be singing that mess ….. with the shyt in this country now ….. especially with the NFL I mean who folks think they be fooling chile https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8da4d8422e27bbfc104edfcf9e97b4d2639b1c3ba2774d1e84418218e262a94d.gif
I ride w Gladys… Y’all Fake Justice warriors should NOT care SINCE y’all NOT watching anyway!
I get what Gladys is saying. How can you lump police brutality and other black-aimed inequalities to the national anthem? It’s like comparing apples to oranges. I understand that the anthem is a symbol as it relates to the “take a knee” stance that Colin birthed, but people have their own takes on all of this, including black folks. Looks like Glady’s simply sees it as two separate issues, even though Colin used the anthem as the launching pad for his protest. Everything isn’t always about money. Gladys has money. Perhaps she’s telling the truth about why she chose to sing the anthem *shrugs shoulders*
I think that was her point.
OMG I am DONE for the day. This was funny as hell….and I was singing the song all loud and shit, LOL

If she’s one of those who still thinks he’s “protesting the national anthem”, then it’s a shame she still doesnt get it after all this time.
I support any free thinking person. Colin seems confused. this Guy was raised with white people and know he wants to play light skinned mind games. Go ask the boys in the hood why they kill each other more than the cops Kolin? and then tell me what else is in you light skin agenda.
It’s not a protest of the anthem though. Does she have any kids who didn’t steal from her who can explain this to her??
I’m not looking forward to this Super Bowl traffic. However; I’m sure the girls at Magic City and Blue Flame are doing there booty exercises right now.
Well I’m offended by that hair piece . Patti labelle been did that. ?
You know what I’m clocking out for the day, laughing at these people looking at me like I’m crazy
don’t do dis to Gladys… at least put up a less ‘vulnerable’ pic, smh

Are we still talking about Kaepernick???
Big B00ty Bonita & Chic Chantelle may make enough money to open up their own skrip club!
It is a protest against the Anthem by using police brutality. It was a stupid move on Kaep’s part IMO. Maybe ONE time, he takes a knee. But NOT EVERY SINGLE game. You see nobody’s taking a knee now?
Gladys will be there for that check
Her prerogative, but don’t expect anyone to applaud your commitment to an Anthem that was written while your own people were chains……..but that’s neither here or there.
“Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem after he was benched by the San Francisco 49ers during the 2016 season…..Kaepernick did not protest the anthem or police brutality prior to being benched..”

I keep asking the same question so here it is again. Why can’t the entertainers participate in half time or national anthem but people are still watching the game?
I always hated when people speak about a “code” that races share among each other. But lately I’ve been feeling that. The black race is to quick to jump ship and go ride the wave of Hatred and Bigotry
What animal is on her head ?????
He made millions in the NFL, and millions with Nike, so he should be financially OK… and he’s good with the decision he made. You might think it was a stupid move, but some people are willing to sacrifice money to take a stand for what they believe in.
“You see nobody’s taking a knee now?”
Well the cops haven’t been killing us as much lately. <– sarcasm *sigh*

Sorry Gladys, nobody sang the anthem better than Whitney Houston did in ‘91, and as far as I’m concerned nobody ever will. Still gives me chills, in fact they played it at a graduation I went to last year and the whole room stood and cheered like we were seeing her perform it live, there’s just so much emotion in her voice.
Jenie and this damn gif…. lawd why…

She’s from a different TIME and GENERATION! Her statement doesn’t surprise me! Sighs
(and you know i said that in my vulnerable soft Jackson voice.. *sads*)
Who even did her like that? Whose responsible for that wig? They need to be escorted out.
NOBODY has ever sang the Nat’l Anthem better than my baby Whitney Houston did. And NOBODY ever will!!

HOLLERING!
I wonder how many ignant Black Democrats will call Ms.Gladys Knight all kinds of racist names.I so agree with Ms.Knight about Kaepernick.
I understand her views because she is part of the “Greatest Generation” and they have a different mindset….

They did it right now people just protest like it’s an accessory. People all over the world risk everything to come here and they are protesting an anthem.

Lol…at least it’s not blonde….
Girlllllllllll….on tha real tho!!! Luther, Michael, Whitney…then Prince….they all almost took me outta heah!!! FRFR
I listened to it again, still the best!
The National Anthem was written by Francis Scott Key, a slave owner, and attorney. He wanted to shipped freed blacks back to Africa. While Key’s lyrics are patriotic and soulful, they were written by a man with a dark and violent history… and his rendition of this song didn’t include the enslaved Africans living in “the land of the free” and “the home of the brave.”
Gladys Knight, I respect your tremendous talent. You really should stick to what you do best… singing.
You betta sang Gladys! Everybody don’t jump on the outrage bandwagon.
Jason Van Dyke, the Chicago cop who shot Laquan McDonald 16 times, was sentenced to roughly 6 years in prison. He will probably serve 3. Afterward, he will face 2 years probation. Justice?
Regardless of her opinion, I can’t wait to hear her sing!
NunCCCC…seriously tho…I think MJ was a Highly Sensitive Empath. And what the avg child might be able to shrug off…he could not.
It’s documented that Joe taunted him, calling him “big nose..” and that Joe discouragedall his kids from dating dark skinned people…well…I don’t condone MJ’s actions…but I do understand.
RIP King of Pop!!
Absolutely not.
You better fu$kin’ tell it!!!! I miss her.
You should have seen the looks of the people’s faces in the courtroom. Pure disgust.
No, but it’s better than nothing.
She was a class act. Loved her personality.
you’re right. it’s still heartbreaking though, smh
Sheet ministry uRShuhs on the way to catch you.
Shameful
When Donna Summer passed I gave up the ghost.
She’s a Mormon now which is the same didn’t allow Negroes to join until 1978.
I’m still surprised he was arrested. The fact that he will spend one day in prison is shocking.
I don’t doubt it. A black life is still of little to no value in this country. We are the class of people who were never meant to be citizens. They still don’t know what to make of that.
*said with chest*
ROFL!!!!

Nicely said.
It hurt reading her statement. Why couldn’t she accept the opportunity to perform without negating and discounting Kep. Whose approval does she need or seeking?
She should have declined to comment on Colin and simply stated the she herself was happy and honored to perform. That’s all she had to do so was focus on her performance.
Her high brow condescension guised as elder wisdom is very dangerous considering the larger issue of NFL retaliation and blacklisting against civil rights protests.
Yeeeees mami!
Our legends are dropping like flies, plus she was sick a few yrs ago. Let Gladys live! ?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Can’t draw enough breath to get out the “hahaha!”!

Why did Wig Overboard make me laugh like I had no sense?

chile, we get in our feelings ’bout Nippy REAL quick!!!!
It is. To not be able to appreciate your own beautiful BLACK self…smh..he was in so much pain.
You crazy!
People were hoping that there would be a sentencing for each count against Van Dyke. However, I knew that the judge couldn’t do that, if McDonald was considered dead after the first 3 shots.
Hopefully justice will find him on the inside while he serves those few years.
Nancy, go to bed right nah!!!!

Honey!! The all time bass vocalist!
Today, Van Dyke’s wife took the stand, crying, and asking the judge to set her husband free, because she fears someone will kill her husband in prison.
With gasoline, kerosene, and Maybelline.
You are cracking me up tonight, honey!
LOL, Chile….my late uncle used to say he impregnated 3 women off various Barry White cd’s. Said Barry White owed him child support!! LMAO!!
Girl, I did not need to read this comment after a glass of Honey Jack Daniels. I am ?!
for all their protesting (making a scene & disrupting the game) , did any of them take the opportunity to make any real social progress when it was presented?
I love me some Gladys Knight. With that said, she is wrong. For one, the anthem does not unite us. And second, Kaepernick’s protest has never been about the anthem or even the flag (even though neither one represents Blacks). But you get your check, girl.
Sidenote: Anyone watch the new Fox show The Masked Singer? A lot of people are guessing that she’s one of the masked contestants on that show.

Coming right up, ma’am!
How did they make a scene or disrupt a game that hadn’t even started? A protest doesn’t get much more peaceful than someone silently kneeling.
Literally put his money where his mouth is.
Gladys do you understand these lyrics?
“No refuge could save the hireling & slave/
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:/
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave/
O’er the land of the free & the home of the brave.”
If you do just do us all a favor and step down and go bake some pattie pies ?
Oh justice WILL be served behind those bars. Believe that.
I doubt Gladys even knows who wrote that song.
Heck no. Might Jack up the recipe.
Point made!
He will be in protective custody.
??? well she needs to make some Gladys cakes
She’s from the Civil Rights Era. Surprised she thought it okay to air her thoughts. She should know better.
Nassar was in “protective custody” too.
Old as she is and all the talking she doing… that uppity old field slave that got promoted to bed wench should know the lyrics

Respectfully Gladys……stfu and sit down. Did you forget how this so called united America was when you was entering in the back to do your gig’s etc or how about recent us getting killed just for breathing or better yet lynching RECENTLY being a hate crime?!! Chile sing your slave anthem get whatever coins via streaming etc from this gig and be quiet. I’m going to keep it cute because you my elder but again stfu https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fd1004f8fd7d30b052c57347c49722cf27421c43e26739193c9cb14f79bbe32f.gif
If you don’t like it here…take your black azz back to Africa!!
Which is why they broke down barriers and were more successful than the latest generations. They work hard and have morals.
You’re correct like always. Atlanta’s gonna be Hoe Heaven Super Bowl weekend. I will keep my behind in Gwinnett.
You’re flat out dumb and should know better than to even come for me bitch. Reading is fundamental as my name states where I’m from. Choke on a sck dck and good fckn day. I done had it with you trolls.
That’s why you broke
Spoken like a true entitled White person.
Especially since he didn’t endure jim crow like Gladys. She had to enter threw the back door and saw whites only signs. Gladys>colin… which one actually went through the struggle? Wake up before they close your eyes for good. Ohh black Jesus
Gladys, I am standing with you on this. Baldwin said that we should not let others speak for our experience. Ain’t nobody more proud of being Black just because they refuse to sing the anthem. These no anthem singing folks, in some instances, be the same folk who love they profanity riddled N-word music. Plus! People’s interpretation of the anthem ain’t just interp 1 or 2. There’s many other options. For instance, the words can also be interpreted that there was no refuge for the hireling or slave elsewhere, except for in America where there were options because it is the land of the free and home of the brave. Now, sing, Gladys, sing.
Why oh why must I say something? Why can’t I keep these two cents in my pocket? Respect Ms. Knight. But I thought the history of this “anthem” was not made or written with good intentions for people of col…ahem…I don’t know. Maybe she HAS to speak against it. Ok ok ok… I’m gonna rub my body down with the finest bengay, roll over and go to sleep. Love y’all…nite nite… I guess ???.
As usual Auntie on the wrong side of history/facts. Money must be tight to GK.
Cause her family cost her all that money with that fraud of a restaurant.
I think everyone could hear the hook and her voice pretty clearly!
You are just a peon in this world and have never experienced the struggle like her. So you and colin can take you diet woke behinds and have several seats. HAVING A TANTRUM AFTER YOUR MILLIONARE BEHIND GETS BENCHED IS NOT STRUGGLE. Using it to hide the reu meaning of you vendetta is a disgrace. GOD is my Sheppard and not some light skinned wanna be malcolm and nessa .
Can some of the woke people on here tell me who died and made Colin the king of the black persons struggle? WHAT HAS HE ACCOMPLISHED?What has he done in this time frame that has been for the advancement of black people ? Because there has to be some reasoning behind this sheep action. Who decides when another black person is allowed to do what they see fit? I thought this was a free country now we as black people are putting chains on people.is this some type of post traumatic @@@@ syndrome like dont upset mass@. Free your mind and the rest will follow. Be your own person because Harriet Tubman was a real one not this light skinned millionare trying to play kingman.
lololol
Generational difference. I respect artists such as Gladys Knight who were active and vocal during their time. I don’t begrudge her the need to make money or the (perhaps career-long) desire to perform to a Superbowl-size audience.
HOWEVER just as other voices cannot silence hers she cannot expect to have the final say on this. If some choose to tune her out and never listen to — or buy — her voice again I guess we cannot fault them.
Dead as hell lolololol
Oh shut up!
If you feel the need to perform then perform but there is no need to belittle/or try to refute someone else’s activism to justify you doing what you have the freedom to do.
NOPE! Not for 16 bullets four of them in the back!
And that’s the sad part…I was pissed the sentence was LOW but at least he didn’t walk…our expectations suck..

Did Nessa ever apologize for her racist tweet?
With all the crap that gets played on the radio these days Wig Overboard could be a chart topper
What you mean it came out remember a while back wasn’t it her son who was caught up in some fraud and had those restaurants in Atlanta that she owned all involved in it? And I also thought I saw something about him trying to take it from her cuz her mind was bad let me googled. But long story short yes funds low but I heard they don’t get paid to do the super bowl
If I ruled the world (imagine that) I’d free all my soooooons (even the grandmas) black diamonds and pearls
“Gladys, Gladys, Gladyssss,,woot, woot, woot…“
Hahahaha…..see how easy that was….once they realize we don’t care about y’all and wouldn’t the world be a better place If y’all would do the same.(mind ya damn business)
Do you really think the big name artists (Beyonce, Pink, Madonna, e.t.c) who has performed that are struggling or aren’t struggling financially will perform for free with a large entourage??
???
Me too ???
I’m mad you got my pic up there tho.
Don’t hate bc red is my color.
Auntie funna do a presto-chango…gon disappear for a few days.
LOL, she ain’t slick.
The tweet, when she compared Lewis and Biscotti to Samuel L Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio’s characters in Django Unchained…nope. but since she is the battery in his back he had agreed to stand for the anthem when he got picked up by a team(his words) but I guess she instructed him not to. Nessa is is delilah to his Samson and is using this as a come up. But they dont fool me like the other sheep.
???
#lesigh If you can’t understand why Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem then you’re part of the problem…
lol
Gladys Gladys Gladys. We haven’t forgotten your Aunt Jemina commercial with your grandkids. Now get on the Midnight Train and get the hell outta here. Press play.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1zmnWUKe50
Very well said!
Both Gladys and the blog owner need to sit their senile asses down. Kaepernick never protested the national anthem.
Is she still a Mormon?
Go Gladys!!!! Glad people are starting to ignore bandwagon personalities…. hope it continues.
Wow your statement is frightening. We do have freedom of speech in this country and Ms. Knight has a right to express herself.
Wow. More Ebonics. Now take your tired complaining azz back to Africa. One less person I have to feed with my taxes. If you stay…respect my country. Believe me no other country wants your uneducated ghetto behind. Africans think and know they’re better than your shiftless complaining azz!
Spoken like a lazy black person who sits around and complains instead of taking advantage of the opportunities this country offers!
I’m just saying I saw stuff that said it free because of the promotion they get I’ve read this on several sites I don’t believe it either https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/07a3d926c9a619ed79ac32a0f35155b7170d25f802b1fcd555ff8ef3b52017cd.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/039af36b0176c77560b5ca8e89dee58d30c1b5584cf3425659402740119c7913.png

SMDH
It’s got mo maple in it ?
Really now? I had a feeling dontgetblocked was white..hmm there’s a few folks on here masquerading as black but they always out themselves at some point.
Great minds!
So all those people willingly jumped on ships, lay packed like sardines, because they were seeking refuge? And of all the options available in this land of opportunity, they chose to work for free for centuries? That’s your interpretation of those lyrics?
I understand an opoutumist when they show thier hand. He said out his own mouth if he got picked up.by a team he would stand for it. Why stand for it after you get hired or is this just a ploy for him and nessa to milk the system? Go back to sleep.
Kaepernick did not protest the anthem or police brutality prior to being benched.
_______________-
Ding ding ding ding. Ppl are dumb if they can’t see that he did this shi t for his own benefit.
That’s exactly what it is.
I’m just commenting to say that i actually have no words for this. Anybody who doesnt see, doesn’t want to see or sees but does not care.
11pink123: Glad people are starting to ignore bandwagon personalities
That’s funny because the entire Republican voting base fits that description.
I mean before Trump no one even mentioned a wall on our Southern border but now it’s all the Republican base can talk about.
Before that it was gays were going ruin every straight person’s marriage and before that blacks.
It’s ironic that conservatives call liberals sheeple when its them who parrot whatever their leaders tell them to think.
They also found the other cops and, i believe, 1 detective innocent of trying to obstruct justice by falsifying statements to help their brother in blue.
Who would want to act like their black? It’s considered the lowest race. You don’t make any sense.
That was sign that Van Dyke wasn’t going to serve a long sentence.
Who cares. They’re both about their own agenda and have the right to do what they want.

Well said
Lol
Let that man be if anybody would understand who lived through those even worse times in the 60s I thought she’d be one of them.
Some give a d**n, some don’t.
Believe it or not, some ppl take murder seriously….even if the victim is Black ?
“She should have declined ..”
Oh, no ma’am. She has got to do a quick tap dance for some change. Don’t know if she got paid directly or indirectly, but she’s benefiting some type of way. Her whole statement was silly and disappointing.
How does one “act Black”??
By confusing their and they’re??
You say dontgetblocked…but i beat you to the punch.
Bye Misery.
You New Niggas make my ass itch. lol You know damn well you and your whole damn family eat Aunt Jemima pancake mix with the syrup!!!!
“But I thought the history of this “anthem” was not made or written with good intentions for people of col”
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING in this country was written with good intentions for people of color. Including the constitution! Now what? Are you going to proclaim you’re not a citizen of this country, not pay taxes and not obey any of its laws…..?Are you going back to Africa? Or, are you going to move forward and live your best life? It’s your choice but if you follow these blacker than thous you’re going to end up just like them broke, bitter, disenfranchise living in the slums waiting for someone to come save you, facts!!!
I like Gladys but, she is being ignorant. He was never protesting the anthem by taking a knee. He was protesting police brutality by taking a knee. A certain group of people tried to make it about the anthem and I see that she fell for it.
OMG…..Lol, you so stupid. #Crine
LOL, THIS ONE IS EVERYTHING! Chile, you are on a roll. I can’t stop laughing!
All the folks who stay up in arms about the anthem should demand it be sung in its entirety at all times.
Gladys, Gladys, Gladys! Wrong answer!
This is what Chrisette Michelle thought she could do by performing at #45’s inauguration. I’m tired of the old Jesse Jackson era way of thinking now. She act like this is still the 60’s and she will be singing to a segregated crowd.
My comment was not about freedom of speech. It is about the “code” her generation lived by that entailed not publicly disagreeing with each other on matters of race so as not to show division.
It’s just a hunch but I’ve never heard a Black person tell another Black person to go back to Africa. But White people stay saying that mess. As if this is their country to kick anyone out of. Tuh.
See, there you go again lol. You can’t even help it, can you? Sounds about white. Always throwing around stereotypes.
Say it again…please!!
I knew that, but learned it for real when I moved from the USA.
The youngest person in the Greatest Generation is 95 years old. They are called that because they fought against fascists in WWII.
Gladys is about 74? She is the youngest of the Silent Generation; them and the oldest Baby Boomers were involved in the Civil Rights struggle. Her record speaks for itself.
And where in Africa do they want folks to go? It’s such a stupid comment to make.
Oh please. You almost NEVER make practical sense on here lady, you’re one to talk. Now take your white ass on…
You know what I’m gonna give them their props. I’m half that size and won’t leave the house without spanx. Lol ? Those white panties tho.?????
2 tons of fun.
Im Christian. I’m not a republican or a democrat.
Not all Immigrants come for a better life. Some have an agenda from there country to doninate and take over the US, so that they can run it like they run there country. Donald Trump is ruining there plan.
I have nothing against immigrants, If there are here to have a better life.
Trumps job is to protect the US and he is about the US only. The rest of the presidents were about a one world order. You gotta pay attention!!!
Miss Gladys Knight is right. I respect her and everything she stands for.
Cont… However on subject. KP bringing attention to himself during “PRE SEASON” intentionally, was a bully move to secure his spot on the roster. That’s why he said that he would donate his “NEXT” check to the cause.. you know the check he might not have gotten because roster cuts were coming up the next week.
And all y’all jumped right on the bandwagon. Because the average person don’t understand pre season football. It’s is like running for President. It’s almost like tryouts to secure your spot on the roster for some players. And that’s all he was doing.
Her grandkids are beautiful
It is when people are attempting to force their activism on you by trying to convince you not to perform in support of said activism when you have already agreed to.
Exactly.
Don’t all sporting events sing the national anthem? yes… So Why are they only tagging the NFL?
And why did KP wait until pre season, a week before he was going to get cut to start bringing this up?
Why didn’t he do this when the Trayvon Martin situation was going down?
And how is the NFL or national anthem going to stop the police, shouldnt they be kneeling at the city or police stations or something ?
Or was this all really about KP bulling the NFL for another season? He said he will donate his “NEXT” check, a week before he would’ve had “NO” Check.
He was protesting racism at large including police brutality which made him a threat.
Then, his protest evolved to protesting unethical and discriminatory practices in the NFL.
Then, his protest evolved to addressing equal employment rights and illegal retaliation and blacklisting against whistleblowers and activists.
Taking a knee became a revolution.
That’s not even touching on the identity politics and white NFL owners completely bewildered by a racially ambiguous biracial man raised by white adoptive parents sacrificing his privilege to take a vigilant stand for African American rights and empowerment.
Gladys STFU!
Gladys said, she was diagnosed with the same illness that killed Aretha Franklin. After she made that comment, she never mentioned it again.
Aunty Gladie doesn’t look to well. Hope everything is fine
“Kaepernick did not protest the anthem or police brutality prior to being benched.” – This right here, err body has their own agenda and wants to make a difference when THEY feel like it only.
I don’t know why the NFL owners are surprised that he would take a knee for blacks. His real mom is white and so are his adoptive parents but he is considered black or biracial and when the police or any other white person for that matter sees him, they see a BLACK MAN. He knew exactly why he took a knee. He knows that a white mother does not make him immune, he is still black.
Now Now, she’s an elder, let’s keep it respectful.
Blocked for sheer ignorance. I’m allergic to stupidity .
protesting in itself is disruptive & making a scene.
it was peaceful but not progressive/productive.
& they made it even more peaceful by allowing players to sit the anthem out in the locker room.
& the politics of the protest caused viewers to not want to watch because you felt like you had to choose a side & take a political stance when all you wanted was to watch the game. Much respect to protesting police brutality & American injustices…but if you are going to protest & refuse to move the American social standards forward once the protest garners attention that can change social standards or correct injustices then spare the people who watch/love the game from having to take on one more political injustice issue when they are trying to take a break from the many they already fight daily.
I can not y’all fell for this KP pulled a fast one on idiots who don’t know anything about football. Dude it was pre season, he had to secure a slot on the roster. He stop kneeing and as soon as he got what he wanted he nailed out of it, while everyone else is still on it.
Then be allergic to yourself.
This guy was raised in an upper class environment. I’m sure his encounters with police were very few, if any. Anyone that really watches football knows that this was an attempt to extort the NFL since he was getting cut. He knew that focusing on victimhood would immediately get the support from blacks
She has a great understanding, which is why she called out this fake outrage
Republicans and Conservatives have always voiced displeasure with the immigration issues, we just didn’t have anyone strong enough to push the agenda. Even if he doesn’t build the wall, he’s garnered the respect of many because he actually made an attempt.
…What you’re saying should be pointed to the majority of people criticizing the Super Bowl performers. Any black person whose willing to perform is immediately labeled a coon or sellout
**** that anthem and flag . Ask her how many blacks, native Americans , or any non whites that hand input with that song.
Not one single non white had input on tht song or flag. SMH
Say it louder for the sheeple in the back!!!
Upvote x infinity!
Trumps job is to protect the US and he is Christian.
Ba wa wa wa!!!!
Stop lying on Jesus.
Young people today are heavily influenced by the biased information they read on social media. They don’t question the fact that Colin did not begin protesting police brutality until he was benched by the 49ers. They also don’t question his own girlfriend’s racism.
SR stfu stupid another black man was just killed and he decided enough was enough…And Gladys Knight that song is about slaves being slayed so go google the lyrics fool
How can social standards be moved forward when people obviously care more about a game being disrupted and someone making a scene? Or the fact that people seem to care more about HOW he protested than WHAT he’s protesting for? If it made people uncomfortable and/or not want to watch football, oh well. Race relations and all the nuances that come with it in this country has never been comfortable. If hearing about racial injustice makes a viewer uncomfortable, they should try to imagine how it must feel actually living it daily. Instead of having a knee-jerk reaction of anger, they could try to be empathetic.
Meanwhile the ‘national anthem’ was written by a slave owner… tell Gladys to sing the third verse
The fact remains that the anthem was created by a racist slave owner period.
She’s an Uncle Tom, slipping through backdoors to sing for racists.
Well, just because that’s what is always focused on does not mean that’s all that was going on. And it wasn’t. Do keep in mind that the slavery story is always repeated for more reasons than mentioned. Them books very selective and effective.
Sometimes people — even old people — must be allowed to make mistakes, suffer the consequences and learn. It does not negate her activism in the days when it was hard to say that Gladys is out of step in 2019. She is a legend in the black music heritage, we can express our displeasure without diminishing her.
“Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem after he was benched by the San Francisco 49ers during the 2016 season.”
BLATANT LIE
Colin was sitting for the anthem before he decided to take a knee DURING THE PRESEASON. He was benched in December DURING THE SEASON.
He was protesting before it became national news.
“That’s not even touching on the identity politics and white NFL owners completely bewildered by a racially ambiguous biracial man raised by white adoptive parents sacrificing his privilege to take a vigilant stand for African American rights and empowerment.”
Well said. This is why they are especially confused and enraged by him. They deigned to accept him into the big house and he aligned himself with the field slaves — against them.
Nothing in my statement diminishes her role as the ‘Empress of Soul’ in the music industry. Try again…
But he only became an “activist ” after they told him his skills were doing he had a chance to say something when he played in the super bowl did he? Nope
She is almost 80
You’re right. I’m pretty sure all Black people who voluntarily migrated here back then flew in 1st class on American Airlines. I bet that old story about the horrors of slavery is all a lie. ?
I feel that Gladys has earn the right to do whatever she chooses whether we agree eiyh her or not.
Exactly
Gladys is at the age where she earned EVERY RIGHT TO BE THE DECIDING FACTOR IN WHATEVER SHE CHOOSE! SHE GREW UP AND LIVED IN AN ERA that was WAAAAY worse than today. She had to endure what we can’t imagine. These pansy ass folk TODAY don’t appreciate the REAL STRUGGLE..in fact it’s only a struggle when one person choose to stand up after millions ignored. LEAVE THIS WOMAN ALONE. DO YOU GLADYS. You owe this generation NOTHING.! This generation has totally disappointed and want what’s easy! FOH…
That’s the problem… And probably why she don’t GAF. THIS GENERATION N IS THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL TO IT’S ELDERS! SHE DON’T OWE THESE SNOT NOSE PHUKKERS NOTHING.
Dontgetblocked is one of the top five, pseudo intellectuals on this site. If he/she isn’t arrogantly spewing ignorance all over the place, they are infecting the blog with their anti-black rhetoric, and vile racism, disguised as “patriotism.” I hate it when people think they are more intelligent than they actually are.
“Your country?” You wouldn’t know patriotism if it bit you on your hairy dimpled ass, not with what I’ve gathered about you thus far…
dont give a damn about the anthem or the words or who wrote it. i watch the game when toe meets leather, the kickoff people.love you Gladys, but i dont care who sings. and i dont watch halftime either. i watch the game only. everything else is bullshit. Kap is not for me. he got that NIKE MONEY. HE GOOD
YOU CANT CARRY HER PURSE NINA. YOU DONT KNOW HER .
Sorry Sis. My jealousy just slipped out.
We good.
Gladys is above your shit… go away and dont watch….
I’ll bet they make more $money$ than we’d think. Lots of men like big women but are afraid to declare it in public…young men too.
Yeah, we need to take girlie shopping…size 12 in black.
So what is he, if he ain’t Christian?
Right
Exactly
That’s what I thought. I been hearing about this wall since middle school. I thought it was just because I was in Cali only 2 hours way from Mexico. So I ain’t want to get Mr. Roderick all upset… So I actually edited my comment and took that out. Cause if he not from Cali, I understand why he don’t know this been an issue.
Thank You!!!! And he did it during pre season 1 week before he was going to get cut. And then said he would donate his next check..?. Like he ain’t have 10k extra in his account already to donate?
Then he stopped after he got what he could out if it.
This whole country was founded by slave owners. Does that mean your black ass is moving back to Africa? No.
And you’re not even fit to shine her shoes.
???
I don made you made. Got some sausage and Alga Syrup 2 go with them pancakes.
Where are you getting your facts? They are wrong. I watch football. It was preseason. If you don’t believe me google it
Per wiki.
Kaepernick began sitting during the national anthem at the start of the 2016 NFL preseason
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._national_anthem_protests_(2016–present)
And if you still in question pull up game footage. Because he was on injured reserved 2015 season, so I’m a little confused how you calling out a lie, but you the only one not speaking the truth.
Ms. Bojangles starring Gladys Knight
Sandra this is why I like your site!!! You are all real!
Wig Overboard??!??????????!!!! I am hollering!!! ?
She will be dead soon and you can tap dance and R Kelly on her grave!! Shanga told us she had dementia and Alzheimers, so what do you expect?
Did she do any research on the flag, and CK, and why he protested? Glady’s is a Mormon, which in my opinion is a cult, and she has seen a lot of racism, so it surprises me how she dismisses all the other athletes, who have done this before CK. However, she has every right to do what she feels is best.
And with a commmet like that, you might want to pray God allows you to get that age…. watch your words…
There is no such thing.. just fairytales!! Watch my words for what?? Dead is dead ! You probably believe in the tooth fairy!
“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.” A. Einstein
I think I’m going to believe Albert Einstein over anything you have to say! ????
Besides what’s a commmet???
Marshawn Lynch been sitting for years.
Exactly! No one is too old to learn something new. We should be united in zero tolerance for racism! Does it even matter why someone protests?!? Isn’t the cause most important?
When did he ask her not to perform?
I don’t disagree with you and I don’t begrudge anyone who feels the need to perform or the people whose opinion is that the performers are sellouts.
It says the refugees couldn’t save the slaves Thur the terror at night or the bloom of the grave … girl bye but you marched and walk Thur back doors
So she should know that song is about killing slaves.. if you google the full lyrics it says the refugees couldn’t save the slaves Thur the terror at night or the bloom of the grave.
Google the full lyrics it’s about killing slaves how y’all don’t know this it says the refugees couldn’t save the slaves Thur the terror at night and the bloom of the grave
Yes so they can see it’s about killing slaves and sending them to there grave
His protist wasn’t even about the song it was about police killing black men in record numbers and whites like to reverse- psychology and make you think what it ain’t… NFL means not for long
The fact that she’s been Thur all that and still don’t relize the song is about killing slaves, it clearly says no refuge could save the slaves Thur the terror at night and the bloom of the grave. I’m really surprised at her old age she still a fool, google the full lyrics to the song, No black person should sing that song.
How about you ask your boy Kap why he’s not married
to and has kids with a black woman.
Didn’t think so.
Tell it.
Yall allowing a male with a white mama who is dating a arab chick to control your policy how stupid is THAT. If Kap was so down for Black people he’d be doing an Obama and marrying a BW. But keep on caping.
It’s not about none of that, who cares who he with and who he ain’t. It was never about the song he did it because he was tired of black men just being killed and nothing happens to them. But if you google the full lyrics you will see it’s glorifying killing black slaves. That’s nothing to sing about it clearly says no refuge could save the hilting slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave. That means it was no safe place for the slaves that do our dirty work and they were terrified Because they were going to send them to there grave. Just google the full lyrics
???
??????
Welp, we see what happened to Chrisette. She found out the folks at the trailer park ain’t buying her music.
It was written by a slave-owning lawyer who spent his life fighting against the rights of African-Americans.
It was written by a slave with a white master and slaves couldn’t read or write but if he was a house slave those are the ones that worked directly with master beating and slaving the slaves, if you really believe they would make a slave song America national Anthem, you are sadly mistaken, don’t believe everything these people tell you. What white Americans did was reverse psychology on y’all and have you loseing focus on what this is really about, Racism and you know like I know it was never about the song.
If you believe a black slave wrote racist America national Anthem, then you believe Christopher Columbus discoved America and with that I’m done with you
And you’re saying it was written by a slave owner so how the f$ck a slave wrote it, You to old to be this dumb
A slave owner who was a lawyer fighting not for our rights but against our rights. Slave owners were white. So like I said it’s a song about killing slaves,that is nothing to sing about. War and bloodshed it was so much killing going on they say in the song they was surprise the flag was still there
I’m checking out of this conversation because you’re talking to yourself in the mirror. ??
You should check out because your brain washed, How are you going say a slave owner lawyer wrote the song and still don’t believe the song is about killing slaves? Slave owners were white! Then you say he was a lawyer that fought not for our rights but against African Americans rights for years. Your a f-ing moron
We must be mis understanding one another because all your other comments speak facts.. don’t know we’re we got lost
Where in my comment did I dispute the color of the slave owner and the fact he wrote the song? I simply stated he was a lawyer who owned slaves and fought against black people to have rights. Reading is fundamental and comprehension is lost.
You’re just heated that’s all. Cool down.
OMG ?I thought it was you who sent the comment saying sit down! How a slave that can’t read or write wrote the song! I’m so sorry and need to cool all the way down.
I did but realized I misunderstood your comment and deleted it. I get your point though.
Lol well back @ ya,?? reading is fundamental and comprehension is lost ???
touche’
Lol
Why insist on being so boring? Stop talking to me.
Mayo sandwiches are scared of Beast Mode… Colin isn’t as scary so its easier to TRY to “bully”
that bitch old bitch Gladys knight need too sing we shall ovecome at the super bowl cause im a be there
Wow you keep moving those goalposts, my friend.
Now you’re going into conspiracy theories.
I appreciate you finally revealing yourself as a typical loony Trump supporters.
Enjoy your own reality.
The fact that she came before diet woke ch and his arab concubine should speak volumes. Gladys entered through the back door in Jim crow times. She held her head up high and didn’t bow or take a knee this show pride and integraty. Colin was benched and decided to take a knee this shows defeat in the face of adversity. I bow to God only and will continue to hold my head up high. The highest office in the land was occupied by a black man so what in the Sam hill are we taking a knee for. Time is a teacher but you keep following the fool colin off the cliff and bow or take a knee. I stand black and proud becuz my ancestor built this ish off thier backs. Let the Mexicans take a knee or the arabs . I’m not with the knee take ish.
I glad she is standing so colin can continue to bend over or what ever his slow behind is doing. We as black Americans build this ish off our ansestors back. Taking a knee shoes defeat. Black power stance standing with your fist in the air is what real black athletes did at the Olympics. Taking knees and bending over is a sign of defeat and bowing should be reserved for God.
Don’t nobody care about no damn knee. I said we have to stand for something or we will fall for anything . Don’t let these people reverse- psychology on you and you lose focus on what this is really about racism., and on top of all that it’s a racist song. Writing by a slave owner that was also a lawyer who fought his whole life for African Americans not to have any rights. The song glorifies war and bloodshed of them same ancestors you talk about they killed so many black people they say in the song they were surprised the flag was still there. And I’m a leader not a follower but I do know if it wasn’t for Rosa parks and Martin Luther King, we wouldn’t be able to move the way we do today. And the fact that it takes a man that came from a white women to protest because even he’s tired of seeing black men being killed over and over again. Should speak volume but y’all lazy mi$$as can be bought
MLK and Rosa Parks took a knee to pray in Selma. The revolutionary leader took a knee while leading a prayer on Feb. 1, 1965 outside the Dallas County Alabama Courthouse, along with several other civil rights marchers.
The march, held over the right to vote, and prayer occurred after the group of about 250 was arrested for parading without a permit
Okay so what you saying now you’re ready to take a knee? Because Rosa parks made change … you just said you ain’t taken no knee let the Mexican and Arab take a knee. Stay focus
I knew you didn’t want this smoke your a fu(King coon and a dummy all money ain’t good money, the song was written by a slave owner you fu(King clown and the fact it takes a man that came from a white women to protest about racism seeing black men killed over and over again should speak volumes, but you sound fat lazy and dumb I’m finish with you they reverse psychology on ya clown a$$ and you lost focus on what this is really about racism.
Because none of that is important. The fact that he’s protesting about black men being killed is the focus. White Americans reverse psychology on you and now you lost focus on what this is really about. Racism, they got you believe because we benched him or his girlfriend, stay focus, the song was written by a white slave owner that fought against us having rights. But this prove y’all ni$$as can be bought
That’s even more reason to stand for something or or fall for anything. It takes a man raised by white people to say he is tired of seeing black men being killed over and over again, stay focus and Gladys Knight should know that song was written by a white slave owner who fought against black people having rights and the song is about killing slaves, google the full lyrics to the song
No I’m saying in plain English I take a knee for My Lord and savior in worship and prayers. Saved by grace and walk in faith. The purpose of taking a knee is to to show humility and obedience to a higher power. I reserve this honour to God our Lord and savior and not a flag. This is why we dont take a knee since it is blasphemous to God. You only show humility and obedience to him God. COLIN IS CONFUSED. MLK AND ROSA took a knee in prayer to priase God not honour to a flag. When you wake up and stop letting the devil take you for a ride In your feelings you will see the false leaders.WAKE SHEEP!
Gladys should just STFU and sing! Didn’t her son say she’s senile?
You got me fu(k up I put my faith in god I have never pledged to a piece of cloth I have no faith in men because they will fail you every time. My point was this man that was raised from a white women is tired of seeing black men being killed over and over again and nothing happens to there killers, they actually become household names, like George Zimmerman, I have no problem with white people so let’s be clear on that it takes to much energy to be a hater, but I will not be played by them either. So my whole point was that song was written by a white slave owner that fought his whole life for black people not to have any rights. And it glorifies the killing of slaves and my question was why would any black persons want to recite such hateful lyrics
That’s so irrelevant lol. Someone is in their colorism feelings right now clearly. You basically just described him as being non racist & mixing with different races fluidly & normally. No race should be exalted above another. We are all equal.People can love who they love & it’s great. Mind your business.
you are garbage, sucka
I love me sum Glady’s but ion know about this one Ms. Knight & where the Pips will they be joining u too O_o
Wow the King Center is being smashed to pieces for honoring John McCain at their Salute to Greatness dinner this King weekend. John McCain refused to sign the bill to make his birthday a national holiday, was against any civil rights legislation and also backed a bill where a black person could get longer sentence with they had crack versus a white person with cocaine. He only had Barak at his funeral just to piss Dump off. Folks went in so tough they took McCain name off the website. They r keeping the celebration of McCain quiet. They said they was honoring him for being a war hero and battling cancer. Folks said they are tired of whitewashing John McCain’e legacy and the truth needs to be told. This is getting good. When folks saw Cindy tweet she was on her way. Folks were like hell to the naw. Stay tuned.
My ansestors fought in many wars as black men for my freedoms that I enjoy to day. The flag is only a symbols and meanings for them evolve over time. The anthem is an ode to the sacrifices made, lives lost and freedoms we gained throughout our struggle in this land. MLK tought you all better this country has given this black man a holiday in his name and becuz of one light skinned demon you want to piss on your country and it’s flag and anthem ? Well you must be 2nd or third generation immigrant’s and we all know they are a bunch of sells outs.
Listen house ni$$a you can come wash my windows
You’re ignorant AF and sound like a lame SJW you fool. I refuse to allow myself to be dictated by a man with a white mama and an Arab girlfriend no he doesn’t rep ME but YOU do YOU. And I will repeat you’re a fool so stop trolling me.
THANK YOU. But he’s not light bright with a white mama doe and dating an Arab chick!! He’s just a regular Black man.
Corrected for you.
Girl all I can tell you is God Loves you, Jesus loves you… and Remember those names when you need them.?
I like trump. Nothing to reveal, no secrets….
I don’t follow the masses.
Do y’all think KP missed either playoff game tonight?? ???….Doubt it!! There is no way he played football all his life and missed the final playoffs tonight…while y’all on strike… for him?
Let’s Go Rams… and Great Job Brady, glad he shut down KC…
If y’all missed the games tonight, sucks for ya, cause they were Good!!! ?
those statements are so pretentious. if she wants to sing the anthem then sing it. her statement was uneducated. we have to remember that most of these entertainers stop school at the age of 14-16. just like the jenner girls. we listen to them because they have a lot of different experiences but honestly…. they arent smart. she shouldve just said she sees the anthem and whats going on in the country differently. it reads like the nfl wrote that statement. no matter she turned me off with that statement. what the nfl shouldve did was ignore him kneeling.
entertainment has been awful these past few years and its time to take up books again.
if i am remembering correctly he kinda sort gets a pass because he is a war hero and he was just trying to make money when he made it back to the usa. you could buy his vote.
when he made it back to the usa cindy (her family is filthy rich) wanted him. he left the wife that waited for him and married rich cindy. now this surprised me: he had an affair with lena hornes daughter or granddaughter.
i am glad that people are being honest with his history. he was a poor senator until he got older and saw he could be a force.
I’m not with KP either. I think what he did was all BS, just to secure his spot on the team…
however, with that being said….. I know from seeing him out and about at parties, he do hang with niggaz and he do date black woman. He’s not a white boy like that. He’s the only white QB I’ve ever seen at black parties. He’s definetly not faking trying to be black, that’s something he always wanted to be long before this protest.
colin k was kneeling for a long time before the pressbox decided to focus on him. i honestly dont think the nfl minding him kneeling. quite a few players have sat, talked, and some even came on the field late. the coaches and staff talk and drink water through the anthem. those small owners and jerry buss made it worse by talking.
Marshawn Lynch gets much more attention than KP… are you kidding me?
Nobody is going to interview Marshawn Lynch about not participating in the national anthem. Him participating would be more of a surprise. The nigga is from Oakland…
He is a nigga nigga… the NFL and everybody else already know that. He prob ain’t never stood up for the national anthem… and neither have I.. but he also don’t go out of his way to disrespect it for attention either..
He was kneeling for 2 weeks before they said something to him. He was not kneeling before that.
Right.. ain’t nobody stupid enough to ask Marshawn Lynch about some dumb shyt like that… the nigga is Pro black, been Pro Black, ghetto and super hood.. like you kidding me right now..,
First, I do NOT call BM “N’z”, OKAY!!
He’s not walking the walk HE’S NOT WITH A BW. If he wanted to troll/control Black American policy he’d do as ALL’ Black civil rights leaders’ do and BE WITH A BW. It’s that simple he’s not walking the Black walk. Partying with “N’z” isn’t like marrying a BW, ok?! Jesse Jackson, married to a BW, Martin Luther King, even Shaun King is with a BW –if you don’t understand why it’s important for a BIRACIAL MALE with a WHITE MAMA who is trolling as a Black policy leader but isn’t with a BW but is with andARAB CHICK, then, we have no need for further conversation.
And for you high school drop outs don’t step to me about colorism as you fail to see the historical big picture.
Please-ALL RELIGIONS are cults!! And don’t talk about the money grubbing pro-bastard black church, TF!!
” Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem after he was benched by the San Francisco 49ers during the 2016 season.” <<< This is the truth. Side note: The real champions took the field yesterday to show everybody how to play football. Go Patriots !
11pink123: I don’t follow the masses
No you follow kooks like Alex Jones.
Everything in this country was built by racist white people. Are you going to boycott everything?
Since when did going 2 war give one a pass where we dont call them out. I have seen enuf channels 2 know that soidiers r criminals like everyone else. How is he gonna get a pass for fighting 2 free people in one oppress country then come here n purposely oppress others. As a soldiet he should know better. He gets no pass from me.
????
You’re racist… I’m not!! why does a white man have to be married to a black woman to support black ppl? You not scoring no browny points with me because you think your uplifting black woman. I’m black and I would pass on someone like you all day… I want a nigga, not a corney azz black man that’s going to jump off a cliff because someone used the word nigga or he think he better than everyone cause he got his raggedy degree that really don’t mean nothing.
And btw, I graduated from high-school and college. A real college, not a bootleg one. And I still ain’t learn nothing relevant there. I barely know the different between there, their and they’re. So I’m trying to figure out why you think that makes you smart? Cause I can tell you some of the smartest ppl I know did not finish highschool and some of the dumbest ppl I know got PHD’s.
Now like I said he hang around niggaz, if you choose not to use that word, do you. Now would I call Obama a nigga, no. But the niggaz KP hang out with are niggaz and so is he…
But I still don’t support his movement because I believe it was about his career.
Thank you.
i also dont believe in all this milatry and police propaganda. most just want benefits and to lord over people. however, mccain was a pow in vietnam for 5 1/2 years. he was tortured and beaten ever two hours for long periods of time.
a year into his imprisonment his father became a commander and the vietnam was going to exchanging him. he refused unless the other pow’s that came before him was released- which was protocol.
thats why he gets a pass. he was already injuries when they captured him and he was tortured for years. just like bob dole lost his arm during a war. mccain shouldve been in jail for bribery years ago but he got re-elected based off being a pow then it turned into he had great seniority.
no he wasnt. go read up on it.
Now he doesn’t. I stand by what I said. How is he gonna fight for other people to overcome oppression in another country and oppress people in our own country.
Someone of her age and status shouldn’t have felt pressure to get on a soapbox about a gig she’s done some variation of 100 times. Just sing your songs respected elder, and keep it moving.
You are a troll period. And a boring one at that.
I’m going to take a wild guess that you’ve been called corny before…. sounds like I struck a nerve… ???.
Ayyyeee….. thanks for discovering my husband is black.. I never knew it was supposed to be a secret….
And you the only one lying.. you ain’t never seen no picture of me… if so I give you all rights and authority to post it…
So let’s see who the real liar is…. ?. … we all waiting…
For a so called married lady LOL!! you sure do have tons to time to TROLL. LOL!!! Whew you hood rats love to bring the drama.
I’m waiting on that picture, though???
So back to the subject at hand. … KP does like black ppl.. he hangs around all blacks and has been since his college days… I would tell you how I know that but you wouldn’t believe me?
You’re crazy as hell. Trump loving bih. Stupid hypocrite you exposed all you lies, Pro-Kap, loves Trump. HYPOCRITE TROLL.
i wanna say “iron ya hair, hoe!” but i got too much respect for mama gladys. i’mma sit this one out.
I don’t have to I used to watch the games. And I already did go back and check to see if he was before…. he wasn’t,
I’m still waiting on the expose.. you went from faking being a sophisticated black man to hood… real quick???. Which I already knew that you were. You the only one not keeping it 100 sir.
Foolishness.
Funny…
If the players actually used the opportunities that were presented to do anything with that protest besides disrupt the game.. I could answer your question.
but after watching the protesters & the message/reason for the protest be lost in kneeling silence.. i just dont want people who deal w/racism daily & navigate race relations as a life style/ life long commitment to be forced to politicize watching the game.
Had the players got off their knees when the time came & used every opportunity to right injustices.. then it would be one more good fight for the cause… but ..
They knelt in silence. & can now do so in the locker rooms while the other , dare i say “Real” fighters, take time to catch the game
Race relations and all the nuances that come with it in this country has
never been comfortable. If hearing about racial injustice makes a
viewer uncomfortable, they should try to imagine how it must feel
actually living it daily.
——————
100%.
she come from an era where cooning for massa was necessary… why yall shocked?
any black person who sings the racist ass star spangled banner is a coon anyway… i give her props if she fool us all and bust out the black national anthem on they white ass… but we know she wont…
that devil was no war hero… he was a POW who sold out other troops…
Hey I wanna ?h?t with you?
