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.

You are the one spouting horse [BLEEP] here. Kaep openly claimed that Cuba was better than the US while wearing a Che shirt. Maybe you missed that part? You do know that Che killed lots of blacks in Cuba? Kaep "consulted a Green Beret" so that makes it all OK? So now we're having one person decide the way everyone should feel? If that's the case maybe we should consult Thomas Sowell in all things black. Whether or no you believe that Kaepernick was not acting anti-American, there are millions of people who see it that way.

Explain to us just how protesting the US national anthem rather than the cops who cross the line (and maybe their leaders) is the right way to go. To me it makes as much sense as burning black-owned businesses because a cop in Minneapolis murdered a black man. Nobody in this country (well, there are always a few exceptions in a country of 300M people but I haven't heard of any) supports the cop who murdered George Floyd, yet you are willing to burn down the country, a country of people who believe as you do in this matter.

There were claims of people flying nazi and rebel flags at the open-Michigan rally, but that may have been a lie. The pictures I saw only had lots of American flags, you know, the one Kaepernick disrepects. If you have a picture that shows people carrying a nazi flag, post it here. Otherwise admit it's a lie.

And yes, there were idiots who fly nazi, and rebel flags at Charlottesville. There are also people who fly Soviet flags at rallies. They don't represent the majority of people there, or are you also willing to claim that the [BLEEP] hat march was a pro-Communist venture?

There aren't many nazis around these days, although both sides politically like to call the other side that. Any who once preferred Trump don't, now that Trump has given Israel 100% of US support. Certainly the Left has the majority of the Jew-haters these days.

Even assuming everything you are saying about Kaepernick is true from the very beginning of his protest, does it negate the underlying truth behind why he kneeled?  Does it negate the idea that African Americans are entitled to the same ife, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, Due Process, and equa protection under the law afforded to white Americans?

[BLEEP] no it doesn't.

Those of you on the right wanted an excuse to ignore the subject and jumped on Kaepernick's so called lack of patriotism as a justification for ignoring or encouraging the blatant racism that afflicts this country.

As for the presence of nazi and confederate flags, the conservative National Review acknowledged their presence, even though they used contorted logic to justify and excuse their presence.

In your (plural) perpetual finger wagging, the right demanded Muslims publicly denounce the terrorism of Islamic extremists.

In this very thread, I was tasked to reject gangs.

No such obligation has been foisted upon the right, nor has the right taken the initiative to disavow the racists-if they represent a minority within your ranks.

In closing, since, according to you (expressly or tacitly), Kaepernick's message was tainted by Anti American sentiments, I offer this.
