  He talks about new leadership, rejecting gangs and the welfare state, but says nothing about voicing dissent against racism.

Peaceful protests directed at the actual violators (in this case MPD and Minneapolis City Hall) seems to me to be the right approach. Are you justifying the use of violence because ____ ?

As far as Kaepernick is concerned, he expressed hatred for the whole United States of America rather than blame those responsible, and not just during the National Anthem but in lauding Castro's Cuba as being better than the US. He has the right to protest peacefully, but that doesn't protect him from the observation that he's a despicable idiot.

Complete horse [BLEEP].

He did no such thing-exoressing hatred towards the U.S..  He consulted a former Green Beret-Nate Boyer- on how to best express dissent on this issue and show respect to the military and the country.  He was trashed.

The people who who show the hatred for this country are those righties flying nazi and confederate flags.  You know...flags of entities that WAGED WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES AND KILLED AMERICAN SOLDIERS!

Of course, no condemnation from you or other righties.  They are patriots.  Very fine people as your fuhrer...president would say.
