This (My) generation is doomed. This man is a professional athlete. Think about that for a second... A Professional athlete is nothing more than a result of a society where it's citizens have disposable income. All of our immediate needs are met, therefore we seek out things such as sports, movies etc as a source of entertainment. How many potential elite athletes could come out of African countries? Probably thousands! Except in that type of environment there is no time for sports as famine and disease are widespread.

 

So someone like Kaepernick, or Dewayne Wade, who in a primitive society would have absolutely zero influence, but due to our desire to be entertained we have granted them the type of influence that they have. With that said, realistically should what people like this say be given any consideration at all? I don't believe so.

 

This has to be one of the dumbest things that I have ever seen. Oppression? Show me one country in the world where "Minorities and people of color" are better off than in the U.S.?
