This Hanity wanna be is pathetic.Whatever your belief he has the courage to stand up to an injustice in a not perfect society you gripe for attention Colin gripes from the heart and has much to loose.
Joe,
Aside from your continued slide to true, overt racism – resurrecting “whitey vs. blacks” – and, your continued slanderous rants against those with views differing than you (“lefties”) – throwing everyone into convenient boxes against which you hate: Even amidst all this, old Joe, you hit on some truths here.
Colin Kaepernick indeed received about all the breaks ANYONE could ask for in America. True, to get to the heights he’s achieved he certainly had to work exceptionally hard in his own right. Still, to attend the schools he did, to be raised by such a doting family, to be able to ascend – what more could one want? “The System” – certainly worked for Colin. And he comes across extremely privileged and naive. But let’s remember, he’s not a political scientist. He didn’t study rhetoric or philosophy.
Joe: Colin Kaepernick throws a pigskin 20 yards for a living. I’m not sure we should look to seriously to him for social guidance.
But to Colin’s point, which is valid – Joe you can’t overlook that here in America, 150 years after actual slavery and only 50 years into what we call the “Civil Rights Movement” – blacks continue to work hard through social injustice. Colin got all the breaks. Most don’t.
Joe, you go get born into abject poverty amidst a dearth of hope and understanding and see how far you go. You go live in an inner city slum with inner city schools and see how high your mind climbs. You go live around so much drugs, so much crime, and so few examples of “good living” and see how well you turn out.
The social injustices continue, whether or not Colin Kaepernick is a jerk. Yeah, I didn’t like him before this stunt and I like him less now. But yeah, when we invade innocent nations and tear them apart I won’t sing that song, either.
It’s easy simply to call all opposing ideas away from your budding racism “Leftism.” But the injustices still remain in their own right and they will until they are finally and correctly addressed. Your labeling and ranting, or not.

Name calling….this is what the conservative right has to offer lately. You make everyone in this country just as unpatriotic as you believe this man is by resorting to such a low level.
This “author” just happens to be an expert on practicing “jerkism.” Pot meet kettle.
It takes A LOT of effort on my part to not dwell on the fact that there are many of Joe’s ilk polluting our beautiful little valley.
Bonnie ?
You forgot to mention the white man was also to blame for his father abandoning his mother. Just think where Conlin would be today if his father had been there to help raise him.
Conlin has every right to his actions, AND we have every right to boycott anything he is involved with.
The majority of Americans agree with this and are outraged!!! ( the exception would be some of these people that always like to just criticize your articles!)
Proof? Link please.
Hard to believe this person is allowed to be associated with anything to do with a school.
What he didn’t address was what Colin said about people committing murder & getting paid leave, this is why he sat. I also know that we live in a country with free speech & just because Colin came from a stable house & was raised with all the chances anyone should get does not mean he does not have the right to discuss this issue. Joe’s whole argument is that because Colin was not oppressed he has no right/ability to talk about it, which is just not how it works. I for one don’t think sitting out the Anthem is the answer but I would take up arms to protect his right to do it.
I’m confused. Was he implying that Colin’s bio mom is black? She’s not. Way to show how racist you are and in turn showing exactly why he was protesting
Takes one jerk to recognize another it seems. Newsflash, our country was founded on dissent and as citizens we have the right to practice it. Now, you or I or even the collective “we” may not agree with this particular viewpoint, but Colin Kaepernick exercised his right to do so. BTW, so did the late great Jackie Robinson and Muhammed Ali.
Calling someone a “leftie” or “progressive” adds nothing to the public discourse, it does however, reflect on your close mindedness and lack of sensitivity to a very real issue in this country; the vilification of minorities and those deemed “others.” Like it or not, the 21st Century is here, and this great country of ours now more diverse than ever before. Embrace it, don’t fear it or demonize it because only you will be left in its wake.
I’d say that I was just handed a gift by a mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging, bigoted wingnut today.
The earlier comments pretty much summed up what I would have pointed out, but I am calling you out specifically on what you said, Joe, in your fifth paragraph about Planned Parenthood targeting blacks for abortions. That is not only incorrect but highly offensive. Planned Parenthood is there to assist women and families that would otherwise have no other recourse. Abortion accounts for only about 3% of it’s activities. They do target anyone, you smug white idiot! It’s the right wing in this country that does that.
“Kaepernick was baptized Methodist, confirmed Lutheran, and attended a Baptist church during his college years.[46] Kaepernick spoke about his faith saying, “My faith is the basis from where my game comes from. I’ve been very blessed to have the talent to play the game that I do and be successful at it. I think God guides me through every day and helps me take the right steps and has helped me to get to where I’m at. When I step on the field, I always say a prayer, say I am thankful to be able to wake up that morning and go out there and try to glorify the Lord with what I do on the field. I think if you go out and try to do that, no matter what you do on the field, you can be happy about what you did.”
Kaepernick has multiple tattoos. His right arm features a scroll with the Bible verse Psalm 18:39 written on it. Tattooed under the scroll are praying hands with the phrase “To God The Glory” written on them. To the left of both the scroll and praying hands is the word “Faith” written vertically. His left arm features a Christian cross with the words “Heaven Sent” on it referring to Jesus. Written above and below the cross is the phrase “GOD WILL GUIDE ME”. Written to the left and right of the cross is the Bible verse Psalm 27:3. His chest features the phrase “Against All Odds” and artwork around it that represents “inner strength, spiritual growth, and humility”. His back features a mural of angels against demons.”

Scvtv you just lost me by posting this vitriolic nonsense.
This guy is literally what keeps America from being great. Racist as racist can be. He published a whole account of Hilary and the people she’s supposedly killed with no references for his claims? Whoever runs this Santa Clarita page is also a racist. I hope your proud of yourself. Posting this racist garbage. I don’t even have to question what race you are. I can confirm it with some of your post.
You, making generalizations concerning race are the racist; just in case you were not aware.
