To Kaepernick, some police have always been part of a mob, and the distance between those mobs, and the lawlessness of sacking one of the beacons of democracy, isn't miles. It's inches.
after a grand jury failed to bring criminal charges against the police officers who shot Taylor dead.."And sustaining and propping up white supremacy have long been part of police officers’ jobs.""I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations,". "Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells.
Thus if a police officer takes part in a riot against a fortified building full of lawmakers, what would that same cop do to a Black man at a traffic stop?

Nobody gives a fuck.
Comparing MLK to Kap is an insult. Please pick a different hero in reverence to the great Martin King. Cops are pigs socks for the cameras? Really?
“We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.” -- The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Kaep knows.
Lol No wonder this shit ass news paper is going down the tubes!!!! Danger is the ghettos, but Colin wouldn’t know that...he grew up in rural glorious home with his white momma, daddy.
Duh.
Let's be perfectly fucking clear. The fault lies not with the law but the lawlessness of generations of black men on welfare-roaming the streets with nothing to do but mischief.
Colin Kaepernick is an integral figure of our time. It is not a stretch to say without Kap kneeling , BLM may have been stalled at the starting line. The Capitol may have never been attacked by domestic terrrorists. Agitation is at the heart of any struggle
Here he kneels w a 49er uniform, the team that supports blm but basically killed his career. I stopped supporting this team for this very reason. No one seems to talk about that
how bout we celebrate by fighting to be FrEE from money slavery every moment of every day ? FrEEME
There’s also this... not really the facts people want to acknowledge 🤷🏿♂️ but some facts are like that I guess. ✊🏿
There’s also this though... the numbers seem different to the picture that is often painted by the racists trying to divide us. 🤷🏿♂️
StephenEspinoza Rev. Dr.
Exactly
50 years ago, as a nation, we should have asked the question Is it right for a police officer to be the judge, jury, and executioner of a person evading arrest? If the answer was No, we should have made it priority 1 to arm officers with non-lethal means to stop someone evading.
Colin Kaepernick will be a long-remembered history-maker. His contemporaries will be long-forgotten athletes. GoodTrouble
How about those ppl, shops, houses and streets attached, assaulted, robbed, destroyed and burned by BLM peaceful protests across the nation?
The Trump coup was about racism and bias. I sincerely hope all the traitors to America are arrested and face justice!! To storm the capital hill building and threaten the lives of the politicians is disgraceful.
Judging from the content of Kaepernick’s character I’d have to believe that MLK Jr. Wouldn’t be a fan.
We need to learn to LISTEN !!!
Cie2011 Justice, truth and mercy triumph over the law. You cannot imprison or assassinate an idea. Remember, celebrate, reflect and act. Happy MLK day!
Indigenous_Me Most of knew why so many was kneeling for the cause. Why cause we either lived it or been with someone who was or racial profiled. I will be the first to say that...color don’t matter, it happens, probably a bit more to people of color but it happens to others as well.
'The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others.” MLK
Or he was the cause of it
But MLK Jr. did not use racism and brutality to push his agendas He had no agendas, he just wanted humanity to come together and learn to respect and live with one another peacefully. You should be ashamed comparing a ego maniac to MLK Jr.😒
You can't remove police entirely-there's a faction of society that requires court system. You can do very intense anti-racial training classes as well as involving the police IN to the communities so they have a better understanding. That takes both sides
So we’re making an out of work football player, that’s struggling to remain relevant, comparable to a legendary civil rights icon 🤦🏻♂️🤡
Kawpernick didn’t even bother to vote and seemed pretty proud of that fact. Sorry but if you don’t vote, don’t complain. He’s no MLK.
America just wasn't listening, Smith & Carlos in 1968, Craig Hodges, the Black 14, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Muhammad Ali, Cleo Hill, blackballing this isn't new and continues today espn ESPNSAS Espngreeny NBA NFL
I'm happy to say I recognized Colin's freedom of speech and expression and was happy to say to a loved one,no I'm not supporting the ban of the NFL over Colin's freedom of speech and expression. ✌️✊🤘✝️☪️🕎☮️🇺🇲
It's about time he gets the recognition he has deserved for years.
I support anyone kneeling, however Colin is an idiot who helped put his own foot in his mouth.
Yes. He totally didn’t wait until he was benched to find something to keep his name relevant. He was totally into this prior to being benched and it’s real and authentic. Look at all those tweets and Facebook posts about police abuse before being benched...oh wait...
Sweatshop Kap built a brand. Made millions being the face of a company which has a history of human rights. A company who abused women here in America. Maybe find better a human to compare to King.
The 'exceptional negro' fallacy rampant in these comments Clearly one side doesn't mean it when they say All Lives Matter only the ones they consider respectable & exceptional
MLK DAY TODAY! STOP THE SPREAD OF WHITE SUPREMACY! WOMEN REVOLUTION! 1820 1920 2020! THE PAT ROBERTSON PROPHECY! LILLY LEDBETTER COVER-UP! KAMALA HARRIS WILL BE PRESIDENT! WAYNE the WALL
For the people that are fake outrage up in here, has used his money he made to help the community.
Wow! Lol
Kaepernick ?! Don't put him in the same Sentence as King !! Kaepernick is disrespectful to US & want US was !!
What team does he play for? Oh yeah. Left sofa
Some of you have reading comprehension problems. 🤦🏾♀️
Colin Kaepernick = principled & courageous. GOP that attack him = weak cowards with no morality.
At least kneeling didn’t endanger lives.
They should have attacked the Capitol building instead of kneeling. The president would have been happier.
Are you 🧐 serious
MLK jr. Was a martyr. Kaepernick got a Nike deal. Stop re-writing history. Stop gaslighting the American people.
So did'Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, Elderidge Cleaver, and Angela Davis'!!!
USA Today is a disgrace. Shame on you for this comparison. Notice how you participate in hypocrisy.
Lol, another Ill informed opinion article trying to be passed off as legitimate news
When it's all said and done our bones are all the same color,,.
Don't compare this race-hustling grifter to MLK, please 🤦
Colin Kaepernick is so far from MLK that there is no real comparison.
