Understand that Kaepernick was not about protesting injustice. Rather, his was a campaign against the United States of America, the flag as a symbol of justice, and America as an enemy of the Black community. Kaepernick is a Black Power, Black Lives Matters, revolutionary and is more a racist than those he accuses.
Stephen A Smith came to disagree with Kaepernick's developing rebellion. Here is a part of his protest to Kaepernick's nonsense.
Partial transcript Stephen A Smiths:
As far as I’m concerned, Colin Kaepernick is irrelevant. I
don’t want to hear from him again. I don’t want to hear a damn word
about anything that he has to say about our nation, the issues that we
have, racial injustices, needing change, etc. He comes across as a
flaming hypocrite. As far as I’m concerned, I’m not interested in a damn
word that he has to say. I hope he goes away. He’s lucky to be in the
league right now. He’s 0-3 as a starter, completing 52 percent of his
passes. He doesn’t look good at the quarterback spot. I don’t care about
rust or anything else.
My days of rooting for him have come to an end, and here is why. As
an African-American in this country you have to be sensitive to the fact
that Civil Rights legislation was passed in the mid 1960’s, ok? When we
talk about the battles that have been fought, the things that have
happened to people, what they’ve had to endure, the fact that folks
ended up dying for the right for him to have the right to vote in this
great country of ours, you have the opportunity to vote. And what
exactly is voting all about? Ladies and Gentlemen, you know what voting
is? Do you not understand that that’s the reason why we’re the greatest
country on the planet Earth?
It’s not just because of our wealth. it’s not just because
of the resources that we have available to us. It’s because we have the
power to change and manipulate the course not just of our lives but of
generations to come because of the voice that we have through the vote
to provoke change. If anybody in this country should appreciate that
more, it is African-Americans.
