@cocosy itâs more along the lines a rich pampered jerk pretends to know what itâs like to struggle as a normal person and refused to stand for the national anthem ( to the country that gives him the freedom to be a millionaire) to spark controversy or something like that cause he sucks and needed the publicity. Either way people in this country have so much freedom they wouldnât know oppression if it punched them in the face!
I think there are people out there whoâve come to know oppression when it shot their children in the back.
And I think the fact that millionaires who have been blessed by God not only with incredible wealth but also with incredible empathy and perception are far too few in this country, and that Colin Kaepernick is one of those sole exceptions. Heâs a man doing the Lordâs work, bringing attention to the plight of the helpless and persecuted, and though Pharisees and naysayers such as yourself may sit back upon their luxuries and salute their idols of stars and stripes without ever once considering where payment comes from, I take comfort in the knowledge that comments such as yours are few and far between enough that I only need to respond to such mediocrity once every one thousand notes. Rest secure in your ignorance, but when the time comes for your eyes to be opened, remember that heroes like Kaepernick tried to warn you and you laughed.
May God grant you wisdom and acumen, but most of all, may He grant you empathy.
Goodnight.
