If you haven’t seen Colin Kaepernick’s latest publicity stunt, then you have missed out on one of the dumbest things to ever be said and done in modern history. And you need to get brought up to speed, okay? Watch this:
Even though millions of little boys in America dream of one day becoming a professional football player for the NFL, making millions of dollars playing their beloved sport, Colin Kaepernick is dead set on destroying the concept by building the false narrative that players in the NFL are picked and then treated as modern-day slaves.
Here’s what happened: Kaepernick just released this super dramatic video where he says strange and terrible things. He tells black people you’ll only be liked by white people if you act like a white person and do what a white person thinks is enjoyable and funny, like Steve Irkel and Carlton in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
He said white people like how Carlton dances because it’s “non-threatening” and shows he’s an “acceptable negro” which, according to Kaepernick, is a black character that shows “white characteristics” and makes white people feel comfortable.
He also goes on to compare NFL training camps to slavery. He says, “before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod, and examine you.” He claims it takes away a players dignity, and then, on video, as the NFL players walk off the football field, the scene then changes to a cotton field and the players change from players to slaves with rags around their bottoms and chains on their necks as they wait to stand on a slave auction block.
Yeah, it’s that bad.
To make matters worse, this is as Kaepernick gets rich off of Nike money. And oh yeah, Nike gets its money by selling products connected to slave labor in Communist China, where if you aren’t being tortured in the re-education camps that day, instead you’ll be sent to work in the factories. And hey, if you don’t meet your quota in the slave factories, you’re getting beaten then too. That’s slavery.
But in Colin’s sad, minuscule little nut of a brain, he’s the true social justice warrior fighting slavery. My favorite take on the whole thing came from Burgess Owens, a Superbowl CHAMPION and now congressman for Utah’s 4th district, who said this on Twitter:
If you ask me, Colin Kaepernick is one of the most unserious “famous” or “iconic” role models in America today, and he is completely undeserving of his platform.
