Rap mogul T.I. Harris supports benched NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick who refused to honor the flag during the national anthem.
Kaepernick, 28, stayed seated while the national anthem played before a preseason game on Saturday.
He later said he refuses to honor the American flag while black people are oppressed and brutalized by police in America.
There are rumors that the San Francisco 49ers are considering cutting him, but Kaepernick, who is biracial, said his message is very necessary.
Harris, 35, reminded his Instagram.com followers of America’s racist roots in a series of posts recalling black civil rights protests.
In one B&W photo re-posted by Harris, a white policeman snatches an American flag out of a black child’s hand.
The accompanying text reads:”
“THEY” snatched flags outta young black people hands because THEY didn’t want you to be apart of America. Now today THEY’re mad because you won’t stand up and pay homage to a damn flag that THEY used to snatch outta black people’s hands.
These people are sociopathic.”
Harris added: “Anyone who objects… Understand my posts are rooted in FACTS!!!! I’ll take it down right now if u can call me a lie & prove it. But if not…. “Eat it Up” #Accountability”.
More NFL players have pledged to join Kaepernick’s one-man protest during future NFL games.
The NFL does not require its players to stand during the national anthem. But some NFL coaches expect their players to respect the flag.
The American flag is quickly becoming a symbol of oppression for blacks in America.
I been said they are sociopathic. This is nothing new but what’s strange and idiotic is that black people are saying he disrespected the flag.
They are so pressed about this issue. It’s a true statement, if the flags stands for liberty and justice for all, and you are not receiving liberty and justice, then the flag is a LIE!!!
I support him because he has a right to do as he pleases. It is not part of his contract that he has to pay homage to a flag.
that’s what’s up. Damn that pic Harsh up top
The flag has nothing to do with the anthem. I admire Kap for taking a stance and KEEPING said stance. He didn’t apologize or back down.
Never understood the significance of this ritual at sporting events…..
They wasn’t ready. I don’t know what they was expecting to hear when they put that mic in his face and asked him why he was sitting. But they was not ready for the direct and unapologetic reason that he gave them.
And folks been stroking out ever since.
That’s exactly what it is. A ritual and I’m done participating in their sheit especially when I’m not clear about what it is.
sociopathic
_________
Got all the way to the END and just could NOT resist using one of your bigger words huh?
Its not like he burned it…which is free speech too
Exercise your rights bruh!
It wouldn’t be #tiplogic without one.
??? like Fred g. Sanford
atleast they are keeping the heat going….Never Calm Down or Cool over till the Next Murder happens, and TRUST it’s gonna happen, it’s just a matter of when and where…
anywhoo,….afternoon my gentile brothers and sisters! (you became a gentile through alexander the great all the way till now )
I am no relation to Alexander the Fake. Lol
no no no no LibraGirl…LoL….he forced us Israelites to become Gentiles back in his time…LoL…giiirl
I guess its a good thing that he’s pretending to be woke or whatever… and bring more attention to the situation… I guess…
Idk, I just don’t take him seriously anymore. At all. He talks out of both sides of his face to me. I mean he is the same person that gave us Iggy…and as far as I am concerned…he will never…ever…be forgiven for that.
A black man can make a stand in a NON violent manner and still be considered violent
Jackie Robinson said same thing.??
Cnn has a good article on facts ?
now you know it’s always some boot-licking nigga/nigga-biish waiting to defend the white man universe like blank man
Another player said he only mixed so it don’t count ?
We burn stuff you don’t like it, we riot you don’t like it, we sit you don’t like. Please tell us massa how you want us to protest you killing us.
At first I was like what Kap do? He didn’t give us Iggy. Oh wait… This is a TIP post.
That dummy.
tell that player to have his DNA tested.
IKR…that iggy thing was just ugh.
Man Colin needs all the support he can get but T.I. irks my damn nerves.
Did a blk player say it? Smh.
Chile….
Yeppers
IONO who though
My stupid ass went over to TMZ’s comment section. Smh. They will make you hate the Shyt out of white people.
I thought I heard something before the season started about how the NFL didn’t want players speaking out about social issues. Welp, there goes that!
He did. Rodney Hairson I believe.
They asked Tomlin his opinion he was like nope. What about your players doing this, I have no comment whatsoever.
I know about him and what he did lol that’s why I said he’s a fake. We all need to start reading and researching sheit.Folks putting their hand over their heart for a song that’s not for them ouch!!!!
Smdh. .Let me google this. Because their had to be a point that comment…had to be…
P.S. I know I’m not going to find a point but I’m going to look anyway.
Three places you don’t go….TMZ, Yahoo, and MSN….Blood pressure will go through the roof.
As long as don’t no players wives or mothers start twitting ???
Let them handle this. Don’t have no parts in your man/hubby/child losing their income ??
Thoughts?! ?
Chris Brown is in a standoff with police ..I hope he makes out okay ..
I’m pretty sure they are saying the same thing about some of us on this blog site too:
” My stupid ass went over to Sandrarose’s comment section. Smh. They will make you hate the Shyt out of black people.”
LoL
I know they hate my guts and I’m GLAD!
?Bring Byke A Point!!!
??
Luv this…
so that was for real?…Dang, they don finally pushed him over the edge
Oh lawd
Somebody Gone and gas up the ?Chopper! Go get him! ?
He pissed me off when he brought up BLM after the death of Toya’s brothers
TI is on point. Sociopathic and, yes, it’s in their blood.
Some Muslim woman just called me a monkey. She’s a fool because these white people DONT like Muslims either. So sad
they dont….they just want us to stand there and take it
Americans have very short memories. Many of the folks protesting Kapernick were probably small kids when their parents and grandparents were part of lynch mobs going around town killing black folks. In my town there is the legacy of Sam Hose….white folks hopped on trains and came from all over the state (directly after church) to see him lynched…many took body parts as souvenirs.
Mike Tomlin say, ‘You is not about to have me had, took, hoodwinked, and bamboozled.’ Mike Tomlin say, ‘You is not about to have me falling for the banana-in-the-tailpipe.’ LOL
Some woman said he pulled a gun in a rage .. Police tried to enter the home ILLEGALLY ..they were told to enter a warrant would he needed .
Something i said in a previous post that I jacked from google and i’ll leave it right here
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and 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 and the home of the brave.
Sounds like the black folk who “should be thankful we get to make and spend american dollars”… were slaves that would have no refuge during/after the war.
HE gave and folks ate it up, until she got “comfortable”
I think he is trying to get back in our good graces. Are you gonna let him in? Lol
What happened? Why?
Honey Yahoo have you steaming. That don’t hold back.
call her Ishmael
they hate when you call them their Biblical names, because they know the significance of it.
Look dwn
No
Breaking story…white woman is a stating Chris pulled gun on her over jewelry…
BLOW BY BLOW
The woman who called the cops on Chris Brown
says the singer pulled a gun on her because she was admiring a piece of
jewelry … and afterwards his people demanded she sign a
non-disclosure agreement.
Baylee Curran appeared on “TMZ Live” and said she
had partied with Chris in the past and he was always nice, but this time
he appeared to be out of it … on drugs or alcohol.
She says she came to his house with a friend, spent a little time in
the hot tub, and then walked back inside where a member of Chris’ crew
was displaying a piece of jewelry. Baylee says when she admired it the
guy went nuts, and then Chris followed suit by demanding she “get the
f*** out” and pointed a gun at her.
The craziest part … as she tried to leave she says Chris’ people
wouldn’t let her take her cell phone until she signed a non-disclosure
agreement. She refused to sign, and she and her friend left.
TMZ broke the story … Baylee, Miss California Regional 2016, called 911 and that started the standoff with Chris.
Colin wasn’t being disrespectful or disreputive. He peacefully protested by sitting down and saying nothing during the anthem. Why are people acting like he ran through threatening to shoot anybody who CHOSE to stand fro the anthem?
good gracious.
Its so much they don’t know chile
Just like they were shocked when Michelle said the White House was built by slaves. Wait til Black Wall Street is brought to life by John Legend
Hail no.
Wait but they don’t even want Muslims in this country according to Trump and his people so who she trying to impress? See I would be wanting to track folks down and knock on doors like, come again hoe?
So she left in one piece and still called the fuzz?
I know folks dont like TI at times. But this is the same on Nate Parker. We cant pick and choose what folks brung to the table as far as their previous white dealings are or were. The fact they are here for the cause right NOW is what counts to me. Domani song he did was about BLM. Clifford done marched in BLM protests. He has given money for the cause And he did a spoken word item on BLM about it at the 2015 Triumph Awards. I think he is geninuely in. Not just for appearance sake. This man has black sons.
But the guy in the background with the glasses looks so shocked. I guess he wasn’t ready for that scene to take place before his eyes
TI got enough on his plate, He need to worry about his wife and kids right now,,,Support them!
That is where the term picnic comes from. They gathered, ate and watched a lynching. If that not crazzzzy then I don’t know what is. Hump!
I told y’all the other day to check on Cb …
Yahoo will have you ready to smack the next white person you see.
Didnt TI do a PSA with the police about crimestoppers?
What kills me is that when the white swimmer lied and ran out on the plug and got busted by the Rio police, no one said too much. But the black football player takes a peaceful stance and they want him to hang. Fugg people to.
I didn’t eat it up. From the moment that heaux said she was a slave master and had the audacity to have that *kapoosh* whip sound sound in the background. Nah, bih.
LoL….yeah you right, he aint great, he’s Fake!
Lol I don’t blame you!!
All they remember now is that those who participated in those activities are now waiting for them in Heaven.
There is a subdivision in CA that has a “whites only” occupancy rule. But we can’t peacefully protest about the injustice and oppression of black folks?
http://fox40.com/2016/08/25/el-dorado-hills-subdivision-has-whites-only-clause-on-books/
And they call is animals. How could you sit and watch another human being get literally torn apart??!!!!
Needing to get their approval on how to protest oppression is proof of the oppression that they deny.
That’s what I’m saying…just be talking. Like a used car salesman…sometimes he’s right (like a broken clock)…other times he’s just fast talking and getting on your dam nerves.
Folks saw nothing wrong last week with being called “colored people”…
Folks in my comments from last week STEAL ???
So family life must be perfect to support support ? Why we gotta pick apart those who do choose to stand for something ?
Yup. And they been there since three am. If they could not get a warrant all this time, that should tell people something. LAPD are clowns.
AND….hung out with him on occasion, said he was cool.
I’d kick becky ann out too…She looks shifty like a crack head…
nah son. his kids gotta live in this same america. he can do both and he should.
Girl
I see both sides of the argument
The NFL does not require its players to stand during the national anthem. But some NFL coaches expect their players to respect the flag.
—————————————————-
so if my employer doesn’t “require” me to do a particular thing, but my supervisor ‘expects’ otherwise, to whom does the final say belong?
What!! See that’s what I’m talking about letting sheit like that slide is the reason they keep doing it.
Chile… I’m glad you know you have to get their permission first. Sad part is this is sarcasm, but some of us really only want to do things that are approved yt folks…
I know. I understand. +1
From U.S??
Yup
Yes there is a hot firey seat in hell for those poisonous sacks of sinew.
They do need a warrant.
Exercise your rights Chris! No illegal searches or seizures in this bish
* bangs gavel *
Wow
Hell, they basically patted his lying ass on the back and said “atta boy!” He got more publicity than the gold medalists + a spot on dancin w/the has beens…
The person who signs my check. The NFL.
Tell me the other side.
What ppl fell to realize is that we were LEGALLY considered animals . We had to fight to be seen as humans . Every race has been enslaved at some point but at no point evahhh were slaves looked upon as animals besides us .
Well of course it was in Jest. He can support who he chooses. I look at priorities and if his intentions are not trying to ward people off of his non-perfect life. Just me though.
Nah we not the animals and the violence we learned came from them. Hidden Colors four talks about all of their vulgarity.
Hmm. So a white girl was involved. A beauty pageant one too. And the hoe talking to tmz too. Hmm.
Exactly .. We can multitask.
WHYYYY is SWAT outside of Chris BREEZY’s crib…surrounding it? Can we get the post please.. i know i can go to TMZ or Fox….but i feel so much better when Auntie delivers the news in my way of speaking…
Can’t burn a flag. Can burn Kaepernick’s jersey. The hypocrisy is real.
I just love shooting the breeze bout tip. He thought he had a winner with Ikky.
ex-player. That was Rodney Harrison, he does that NBC broadcast that comes on before the evening games on Sunday’s during the regular season!!!
Lovely example …my coworkers could kiss my ass
Becky ran straight to the cops and the papers like a true Becky would.
TI standing with Kaperink
Wonder does he stand for The Equal Pay Act of 1963..
BYE
Did she leave with her phone? That’s one of the things I would like to know immediately. And contrary to popular belief yt folks steal. When I get out my car around white yt folks…especially in nice yt areas…. I clutch my purse and beep beep my car alarm three times… sometimes I even say out loud “cause yt folks be stealing”.
Yes it does. The reason Scott Key supposedly wrote the anthem was an ode/tribute to the then…national flag. Only had 15 stars and stripes back then. They are related.
He definitely can…maybe this will improve his somewhat tainted image.
They will never learn .
I wonder why there is no outrage when the image of the flag only covers the top half of a YT teens boobage? Old Navy should be boycotted?
He probably can.
The American flag is a symbol of idolatry. It should not be worshiped or allegiance pledged to it. I pledge allegiance to God and my family and friends, but I will NOT with a flag that’s colored red with our blood. People talk about “loving country,” but one can love the U.S., but call out the injustices it stands for. When Blacks get credit for building this country, then that’s the litmus test for how far we’ve come, but as long as our contributions are hidden, they can kiss by Black behind with their nonsense.
I really knew he she was, I prefer Jazz.
They had breeding farms for black people. They made mother and son and vice versa which is where the term mutha fucka comes from. They raped the men women and children on those funky arse ships. Filthy animals.
Oh thanks. Learn something new everyday.
They are the worse. Bunch of pigs.
He did. Now do I hold her against him as far as being BAD hip hop? I sure do lmaooooo.
Proof of that privilege that they act so blind to .
And we only sing one of TREE verses I think I read?
We SHORELY don’t sing the part with the word ‘slave’ in it.
I also read that he wrote that part trying to be sarcastic or something like that. I have to go back and reread.
“The American flag is quickly becoming a symbol of oppression for blacks”
Nah. It has been for many moons. It’s not just Blacks (capital B) either…Its been a symbol of oppression for Muslims, women, Foreigners, those who are anti government and so on…Plenty of flag burning videos dating back to the 60’s??
The American flag is long since becoming a symbol of oppression for blacks in America.
=============
Fixed that for you.
It’s sad. It could be the most innocent story and they cut up.
hmmm?
? nigga bish
I believe the term is nigress
You already know the Kang of the South is super sexist. How can he manage that when he has a daughters IDK.
….all while being threatened with extreme violence
exactly. how you gonna offend and threaten me, but then wanna dictate what’s ‘appropriate’ for me to do in response to your inappropriate behavior????!!! dis dat b.s.!!
I see slavery hasn’t ended. We are forever enslaved to the White employer. We can’t exercise our first amendment rights and we can’t name our children certain names because massa might not like it. I’m so tired of it. That’s why I believe it is imperative that Black people become entrepreneurs and start building our own infrastructures.
*waits with LZ*
His daughters will never have to worry about a 9-5.
All of this. That’s why I can’t rock with him.
Absolutely. Chris may be bat poop crazy, but he is absolutely in the right about making the police do their jobs.
Just horrible.
That bish is lying.
Slow down little red corvette.
ION think she got here until the late 60’s.
? She was tew busy eating tea and crumpets ?
How long do you think we will have to wait?
Ray J has now posted a video on his gram about the incident and spoke with police early this morning before leaving.
What? No, you speed up.
Right…her few acknowledge the sickness that lies within their history . They not only raped us but our men too. (Buck breeding )
Y’all remember when Lindsey Blowhan was stealing ish from all of her rich friends’ houses? Y’all remember. I’m telling yall…
Lol I’m trying to be silent. Oh sheit that was funny.
Doubt it
Funny but not funny…
Does he finally know that many other countries have/had women Presidents.
Yep
Exactly Lovezoe..EXACTLY
Lmaaaaaaaaaaaao. I was about to say something until I saw he posted something about TI and crime stoppers…I refuse to be distracted and redirected…
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smdh. Jesus helps babies and fools. So please Lord help him. Smh
There are many places in the U.S. that still have laws on the books forbidding Blacks in certain areas from renting or buying homes.
Girl stop.lol
While you’re waiting, hold deez?
The person alleging Chris Brown pulled a gun on her is a white bitch. Becky went to his house with an ulterior motive. She wants publicity and she wants money. Niggas need to leave groupies alone.
There’s an LAPD command post camped out at Chris’ house rn. Knock me over with a feather if he makes it out of that house alive.
I agree with Colin. I stand by him and others who believe he was right. I’m tired of this new stupid blacks who act like America treats us equally. You silly rabbits tricks are for kids.
Stuuuuuupid?
Lawsuit regarding unpaid wages, eviction from his restaurant, and things that the public doesn’t yet know.
Plus he needs time to hide the yayo ?
I think you didn’t understand the analogy..you may wanna call a life line .
That’s why Rio said Nah son we gonna get your butt.
yooo
Proud of Colin scared for Chris smh. I be rooting for that child….
Late 60’s you say? That means she was college aged? So yeah, she was busy eating something??
Lol. You don’t remember that? Her and one of her junky friends were stealing silverware, jewelry and whatnot? Lol. Real life…
iono stay on topic (BIG GRIN)
Baylee Curran
========
Why is this name familiar to me? Lemme do some research.
Maybe I didn’t, so you be the lifeline.
I really hope nothing happens to his crazy ass. Deep down I beleive he has a good heart , his demons just aren’t managed well ..
I am wondering if they police are making it a deal because of the alleged gun being he is a felon.
Yeah but according to TIP, she can’t be President of the United States or anything high up and important. Smh
I thinks she was in a pagent,
Most of us are ignorant to symbols. Especially our own symbols.
He burned the flag and they were donating to his cause FOH
Glad they dug up her info and pics with the swiftness?? She created this, doesn’t deserve anonymity?
That’s the best you got for Whig NUMBER 1. She used all her brain power and you got is Hmmmmm
At least say sure ya right Hmmmmmmmm Okay.
and
HI
I have a stars and stripes bikini…nobody stands or salutes when I wear it ?
There’s already a line waiting for you ..I dont feel like educating you today .
Oh, but she wants fame and money. That’s why she went to his house. They should’ve kept that ho anonymous and not given her what she wanted.
Let’s give fame to those who have talent. Everyone isn’t deserving of such a platform.
Harrison is boring on Sunday nights. And his comment about Kap is beyond sad.
Yes that’s why I laughed cause I pictured how she looked trying to get away from the PO PO while taking those black men hostage lol.
Man…Lindsey and that Wynona
Ryder are some thieving chicks!
Law enforcement doesn’t care about his heart. But they will use his demons as a justification for murdering him. That, and the fact that he is a convicted felon with a history of DV as well as a recidivist.
I hope he has a living trust.
That crew is plain boring. I like Dungy but dang them 3 can go……..!!!
Girl come thru with the facts in this bish
Too murch stress….Hits play for Keys of Life
Deuces
They are going to make a big deal about everything the black man does. They want revenge for those cops.
Me too.
Right both strange and idiotic. But those black have been completely brainwashed.
Do you job and nothing more. It’s really simple.
I won’t speak death on him .
Whatever. If I misunderstood, cool, say that, but I don’t need the stank attitude. Have a blessed day.
Zoe! you know that latest MD license plate is supposed to be in honor of the ‘war of 1812’ and the flag flying Ft. McHenry (against the “rocket’s red glare”)! I don’t mind telling you I was HOT when they popped that mess on my vehicle and told me I’d have to pay extra it I wanted one of the other tags!
Mm hmm… His plate is full of all kinds of meals and food groups…lol but hey! If he can multi-task and eat, chew, walk, pat his head and say rubber baby bubby bunker at the same time, I am not mad!
????? you know what,,,Initially I was gone say damn…you smart? But I always throw that joke @Nancy when she puts on her smart girl panties/period panties so I decided not to.lol
They aint finna kill Chris Brown
You can burn a cross on my lawn … and I can’t sit down quietly on a sideline…. ???? what…???
No I think her term is perfect.
If I misunderstood your reply, I apologize.
Keep me posted please I can’t even look.
I was taught to sing this anyway…
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us,
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers died
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forgot Thee,
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
??????
You don’t have to. He already spoke it upon himself.
Why thank you. I love peanuts.
Until blacks we get our 40 acres and a mule.
Lordt, this gave me the giggles…
Well, okay .. In this example the employer is the NFL . The upset ppl are the coworkers . Lets say you come in to late work late every Wed your coworkers are upset but your boss is cool with it ..Do you ingnore your coworkers? Keep in mind you are late for a valid reason or continue to do what you havee been doing ?
Yessss we sung it in grade school.
SO EYE just went off (via text) to folks that aren’t going out to vote today in FL & AZ…
Unreal ?????
They’ve been looking for excuses and manufacturing excuses to take his life. Sam, Sam, Sam Cooke, y’all. The 2016 version.
Kk
bet they blindly voted for the black dude when he was running… won’t support a woman the same way which is in fact helping the white male trying to trump us all…
idiots.
right!
The Ford Plantation In Richmond Hill Georgia is another one.
coon
Im worried about chris, they are trigger happy out there
one more thang
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k3pYwFlr_I
Make it good one, prayers and love being sent to Chris Brown (people often to fail to understand, when one has a brilliant mind, they also suffer from mental illness and try and soothe that with drugs and alcohol and sex. My heart goes out to all dealing with mental illness..
hopefully so
LMAO!!!!!
Girrrrrrrrrrlllll.

that’s what I thought! FOH!
also, Blackhawk …. in CA… ironically named…
???
Chris Brown supposedly about to be arrested. TMZ
Tmsleezy hates him so them and faux news are on it I see.
12:28 PM PT — Law enforcement sources tell us Chris is about to get arrested.
New post on Breezy
For what? And bet it is immediately charges dropped. They have to arrest him at this point in order to justify all this mess
for not letting them in without a warrant?? lol. this is too much. he gonna stop letting them thots in his house thinking they about to get some cash and get mad when he throw them out with an IOU.
TMZ made sure to let us know she’s a beauty queen… she wanted publicity
I would and i will LOL
I think this is it exactly
Attorney has arrived and CB is about to get arrested.
They stay with the mess.
That frog faced heifer is anything but. Lol. I saw her sashes, but she is far from beautiful or a queen.
Bye, sashy! Lol
Girlllll
And they’re family.
Bernie supporters. They mad at him still.
?Growls
Four?
I’m going to ask a very simple question. If you hate America so much why not move to another country?
Or just denounce your citizenship and move…there are many other democratic nations around the world, they have the resources, why not just pick up and leave? Nobody has to be an American. Take it from someone who is well traveled there are FAR worse countries to be a citizen of right now. But in Kapernick’s case as well as TI, they can afford to go to the best locations. Why not just go?
The problem with Kap’s stance is the same country he is mad at is the same country that made him a millionaire…..
We are not suppose revere any person or object but God. Yet we are a Christian nation that laughs at people for bowing down to a fat statute. Can’t have it both ways.
Why not just exercise your right to free speech
Thankfully we have both options
? its fuego!
Yt people recruit our brothas and pay them millions of dollars to palm a damn ball and run up and down the court/field so they can be praised like a damn Clydesdale. We have no rights anymore. They burn Colin’s jersey and bash others for speaking out but at the same time copy our gestures, hair, and everything else they can consume. Im sick of this. Land of the free my azz…..
Lawd knows I tries to entertain ?
We not a Christian nation though…freedom of religion is our right too
Does he really know what it’s like to truly be oppressed? Most of us don’t have a clue about real oppression. Our grandparents couldn’t even breathe the same air as white folks in this country let alone protest and exercise the freedom of speech and expression that we do know. Most from our era don’t even know the meaning of the word oppression. I see that he is trying to make a point but he offends a lot more people than just cops by disrespecting his nation…and if he doesn’t want to be a part of the nation like a said before, why not just leave? This could all be so simple for him. It’s funny, I always hear Americans talking about their “rights” and then in the same breath will speak about how they hate the country. Do people realize that these “rights” don’t apply everywhere? In a lot of countries he wouldn’t have even had the “right” to do what he did.
Intelligent people who know the history and ALL of the lyrics to the National Anthem understand the reasons why people of color would protest ( hint: a quick google search on the subject would explain quite a bit). Its not about being “well traveled” or measuring the quality of life between countries – its about THIS country that WE helped to build and how it has historically treated people of color.
To suggest that someone move because they choose to exercise their 1st amendments right to freedom of speech is simply asinine.
Y’all would love that, huh? Well how about this – my people sacrificed too much for me to just pack up and leave. Not gonna happen. Sorry. Y’all are just gonna have to put up with us fighting and protesting.
I don’t believe anyone who states an ‘unpopular’ opinion regarding a country has some festered hatred kicking up for it somewhere. People are becoming more awakened and some have the fiber to avoid conformity by recounting history in order to be cognizant of the present.
I did not want to visit Hawaii after reviewing how it was acquired by the USA (annexation) but for every historical reference there is a new milestone around the corner therefore I am moving forward. I am blessed to have discernment.
So let me get this straight. We see injustice. But because it’s WORSE somewhere else, we should say whatever?? Or if it’s not happening to us personally, we should just say whatever?? I guess during the Civil Rights Movement, all those privileged whites and Jews who sat with us and marched with us and fought with us and for us should’ve just said, oh well, better them than us?? I got mines…y’all are just SOL.
What’s that’s got to do with exercising his right…yes we are still oppressed…not physically with lynchings and firehoses and Jim crow laws its much more subtle now. Police brutality still exists that is a fact. Why get offended by someone exercising their constitutional right?
I’m not gonna debate…troll someone else ?
I wasn’t trolling you, at all. If you feel like you don’t have anything else to say cool, but don’t accuse someone of trolling when they are just having a conversation. Nobody was called out of their name, no snippy or rude remarks were made, just a conversation.
Thanks for the first well thought out response! So “hate” was a strong word, should not have said that, but I really do believe if he really wanted to take this message far he could have found another way. That anthem represents the flag to many, and his actions were offensive to many because of that. It is good to see people with a platform speaking out against brutality, but I personally did not like the way he did it, just my opinion.
So flucking what! New flash america doesn’t give a shit about black people. The millions Colin gets paid is chump change compared to the billions the owners and the NFL make off of their heads . Besides black people bulit america from the ground up, we were here first. So you and the rest of the Neanderthals can go choke on a dack!
Well sir or ma’am…we are in America…and we have the right to free speech
…so we exercise this right (or not) as Colin did…in action (not standing during the anthem) and in speech (against police brutality). That’s what this country is all about…so called freedom. So why do u suggest he move elsewhere instead of exercising his right?
His talent made him a millionaire! Whites saw and wanted to capitalize off of it( as usual) , as of days of old the black man (biracial or not) has ALWAYS been a hot commodity!
+1000
well traveled my azz…that font shole is hillbilly sounding
Rodney Harrison & his ignorant comments. I went in on him on Twitter.
Called out Sir Maejor (BLMATL) about Dick Gregory’s apology & he got in his feelings & blocked me. All the damn fuss over an interview 3/28/16. SMDH @ the foolishness. Apparently this is one mountain Sir Maejor wants to try and climb & hopefully make it back down.
He’s not doing this just for himself so what’s your point. Having money doesn’t free a black man anyways he still will be shot down like a dog if the WM see an opportunity
Racism is everywhere so why don’t we stay here and fight racism. U made the dumbest comment ever.
Lies! everybody knows I only use 10% of my brain power (and that’s typically between the hours of 10am – 2pm), so I was actually already powering down. *stuffs your dusty whig in yo lyin’ mouf*
i’ll ignore this since it’s clearly your ‘time of the month’

Dang Zoe, I’m just now reading this! It’s ironic as all hail that the comment was directed at YOU, of all people, LOL!!!!!
No you didnt compare him to Sam Cooke. ?
I would stand at attention
Have you all read the 3rd verse of the National Anthem. Google it and see why their not singing it….This song is slap in all black people faces.
Sociopathic is the right term for many of those people
Please read about the national anthem-hell ,read about african American history period! Its not our jobs to make white people feel comfortable about acts of racism that have occurred against people of color in the past, present or future. If they feel ‘disrespected’ because a black man has the unmitigated gall to speak out in protest about a National Anthem that contains racist lyrics (when/if you choose to educate yourself, pay specific attention to the 3rd verse), then let them feel disrespected! Again, it is NOT our job to make white folks comfortable. Black people in this country have earned the right- by virtue of this country being built on the blood of our ancestors, to both HATE this country for what they have done to us and LOVE this country for the freedoms that we now have access to when compared to some other nations. It is possible to do both. I have never said the pledge or stood for the National Anthem (which is well within my rights per the first amendment), I am well traveled (not that that means anything but you seem to think it does), I have never personally felt oppressed (not that one should need to but again, you seem to think this matters), I both hate & love this country for the reasons previously mentioned and am unapologetic for standing in that truth. If you or any one else is offended or feels disrespected, that is your problem to deal with not mine.
I’m referring to how Sam Cooke lost his life. No joke. I see a set up.
#ignant ????
I just laughed out loud spitting out the wig from your 1992 collection. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5f07c58b6efd67bd1d4ad2f2d2148d0087542090b3c5cff6da837aaa8ecd3bd0.gif
Im with u homie!!! I dont think im celebrating anymore 4th of July’s either
I agree but hopefully it’s all a stunt like SR is saying.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????
??
With yo ??
Oppression comes in different forms.. who do you think the people who are objecting to his protest represent. They are trying to use dollars to control NFL players. ..it use to be sticks. ..batons. ..dogs …hoses. ..hangings. .it’s all about …close your mouth and earn a living. …or live in poverty. ..they don’t want their hypocrisy thrown in there faces….they are not addressing the issues he brought forth. …the focus is on the individual. ..the team. ..the fact that he is being paid… this just validates his point…those not IMMEDIATELY affected by the racial injustices in America choose to continue be desensitized and and continue the dehumanization of African American citizens. ..
You are a dumb c00n I feel sorry for ur children and any woman who choose u as a provider and protector because obviously u pee sitting down. Black ppl have only been able to vote in this country for abt 50 years and we built the bish. The only reason the govt isnt overt and switched to covert racism is because other world leaders took notice and there was going to be a problem for the u.s you know how the u.s stick their noses in other countries business well it was gonna be reversed on the Americans. Racism still exist and it must be stopped please step aside and let us stop it and shut ur dumb mouth
Here are the lyrics to the star spangled banner (verse 3):
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and 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 and the home of the brave.
This is a very self-centered, self-righteous and short-sighted comment and view of things
Pretty much sums up everything wrong with America. Home of the Free(from these people who thinks it’s ok, when they say so), land of the Brave(the land they took from my ancestors and forcibly brought the other half of my ancestors to).
And anybody wearing a swimsuit/clothing in a distasteful manner or laying on an American flag towel is disrespecting the flag also.
So the same people that don’t approve of his right to free speech are the same people that are completely oblivious to when they are disrespecting their own laws and freedoms on a daily basis.
What a bunch of hypocrites.
Want to know the funny thing? Rodney Harrison’s son is by a white woman and his son is about 5 shades lighter than Kap.
are you really that simple minded? no wonder Black men will never get ahead.
Because we here before Columbus “discovered” it kracker, that’s why. We should round you all up and send you back where you came from.
Correct and he is exercising his right to free speech which is relatives also died so that he can use it.
what in the honeybun head hail is that???!!!
GTFOH! Now I really want to throat punch his arse while he’s giving his fake arse apology. Wow, so his son’s going to get it too but far worse….poor baby. Somebody, anybody throat punch or taser his arse for subjecting his son to this mental terrorism & anguish from the inside.
He’s married to Erika.

Don’t fake the funk….Your collection dear
I hope all the black players join in. Let white America decide if they are going to continue supporting this garbage. May the lines be clearly drawn.
I agree with him. I see white players not standing all the time. They chose to ask him why cause he part black. I have seen white guys waive the mgmt when they sitting. If its not mandatory I feel no more questions should be asked. My school still had school pray(quiet time),school song, and national anthem. I think its all illegal but they didnt care. Well I prayed and then did whatever, I was mad at the school so I finished some homework, and I stood for the national anthem. he still loves the country just not certain factions.
Go Kaep. All I got to say.
Not that son, good try though.
Then show me I would like
know. Your sarcasm didn’t go unnoticed & isn’t necessary. Put up or shut up….how about that, how’s that for a good try? ??I’ll be waiting……??
You one of his jumpoffs or something? You seem awful defensive.
Really though? ?
