Colin Kaepernich


I have a lot of different thoughts about Colin Kaepernich. He says he doesn’t want to respect his country’s flag because he lives in a country that oppresses black people. Personally, I think he is just a cry baby and wants to get attention. If he wants to see a country that oppresses a race he should go a country that actually does oppress people or go back to slavery times and see true oppression. He has it easy compared to pretty much everybody. Plus, if his country is so horrible to him, then he should just leave.

            Black oppression to him would be cruel treatment to blacks by police officers. There are more police officers killed by black people, than black people killed by police officers. Maybe they should examine the behavior of the people who are getting killed by theses police officers. They are resisting arrest, breaking the law, and are being harmful towards the police officers. I’m not saying that someone has never been killed for any reason by a police officer, but that is very rare. Not to mention, the amount of white people killed by police officers is twice the amount than black people killed by police officers.

            I believe fulling in our rights and amendments. I believe that we should use them and fight to keep them. He has the right to sit down during the national anthem for whatever reason he believes, but the least he could do is make it a legit reason to sit down and not a bs excuse to get attention. People, whites and blacks, are fighting over seas for him to be able to play on a football professionally and make millions of dollars. Blacks people today have just as many rights as any other race in this country and he should open his eyes and see that for himself.
