Give them a few weeks, injuries happen Kaepernick will be starting soon or if Gabbert stinks up the joint. Never mind he going to get more chances than Jeff Fisher.

That's a fuckload of chances...smh

It never even should have been a question if he was gonna make the team

And he should be the starter too.... I know Kap has had his struggles but it's not like Blaine is any better

KAEPERNICK JERSEY SALES HAVE EXPLODED SINCE ANTHEM PROTEST BEGAN

Although Kaepernick is being panned by the majority of media types for his stance, take a look at the tweet below to get a different perspective.

Yep, Kaepernick jerseys — once though to be nearly extinct in the wild — are making a dramatic comeback. That means somebody is out there watching, and being inspired.

If this went to Kaps pockets directly I'd feel a lot better but at the same time good shit nonetheless. Whether they admit it or not people are watching and listening to what he's saying.

Did you ask him what Kaep is actually standing for? It's good if he supports the cause, not so good if he just supports the man.

No white NFL players backing Colin?

Somebody has to ask white america why black people speaking out against police brutality enrages them so much?

When the cliven Bundy ilk says it it's cool and not unamerican at all.

And I hope cam never gets a ring.

Chris Kluwe don't count?

No Kluwe does not count. He does not count at all. Fuck Chris Kluwe

Musim slave trade was worst.

Some historians estimate that between A.D. 650 and 1900, 10 to 20 million people were enslaved by Arab slave traders. Others believe over 20 million enslaved Africans alone had been delivered through the trans-Sahara route alone to the Islamic world.

Dr. John Alembellah Azumah in his 2001 book, The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa estimates that over 80 million Black people more died en route.

The Arab slave trade typically dealt in the sale of castrated male slaves. Black boys between the age of 8 and 12 had their scrotums and penises completely amputated to prevent them from reproducing. About six of every 10 boys bled to death during the procedure, according to some sources, but the high price brought by eunuchs on the market made the practice profitable.

Some men were castrated to be eunuchs in domestic service and the practice of neutering male slaves was not limited to only Black males.

“The calipha in Baghdad at the beginning of the 10th Century had 7,000 black eunuchs and 4,000 white eunuchs in his palace,” writes author Ronald Segal in his 2002 book, Islam’s Black Slaves: The Other Black Diaspora.

I definitely need a source that's not just that book that can support what that book is claiming

I find it funny how white people love to try and point their fingers at Arabs(which technically isn't even a race) to try and deflect from their own major role in their slave trade

That book has 5 stars on Amazon and every review is a white person saying "see look what THEY did to you"

So after hearing and reading so many of these comments about Kapernick stance.

Do some of yall still NOT see that the american flag is a symbol of white supremacy?

It's not. It's a symbol of America and America's story. White supremacy is part of America's story. Hell, it's the biggest chapter in the book, but acting like it's the only part of the story is silly. As long as people think in these extreme terms, people will never come to an understanding, and shit will never progress.

How is it not a symbol of white supremacy?

Never said it was the only part of the story.

I explained who it's not. It's literally a symbol of the USA and everything that entails. If you look at it an just see white supremacy and that's what you feel about America, that's fine. But it's silly to think that everyone will feel that way. I don't care about the flag or even the country all that much, but I'm not going to sit here and act like the only thing I get from America is racist treatment because that's simply not true.

White supremacy isn't just the racist mistreatment of blacks

The US flag absolutely is a symbol of white imperialism, white manifest destiny and european domination of most global territories over the past 200+ years

It absolutely is a symbol of white supremacy. It might as well be the British imperialist flag part 2

I never implied any of that extra shit you talking. I asked a very simple question and you interjected a whole bunch shit I never implied or even spoke on.

Nigga, you literally said:

Do some of yall still NOT see that the american flag is a symbol of white supremacy?

What you struck out is a direct response to that. The answer to that question is "No." not everyone sees it as a symbol of white supremacy because America isn't solely defined by white supremacy.

Yes it is

Every single human being that made their multi-billion dollar multi-generation fortune during the Industrial Age was a white male

Those families still control all industries to this day

If the US wasn't about white supremacy then poor whites and poor blacks would have overthrown the upper class centuries ago

Anyone that kisses ass is a bitch as far as I'm concerned. Just cuz we have it better than most doesn't mean we still don't get treated like shit in our home country. Shit is shit even if it had sprinkles on it. America for blacks= shit with sprinkles. Rest of the world for blacks=shit.

If you say so bruh. America is broken and needs to be fixed especially when it comes to race issues. But my life isn't shit and none of the black people I know have shitty lives. How many people on the IC have shitty lives? And how many of those shitty lives are do exclusively to racism and not personal mistakes or other circumstances.

We can all fight for what is right without exaggerating shit. There are people in this world who can't even count on getting clean water everyday. You think compared to that your life is the same but with a few "sprinkles" added? Ok.

Smh
