Benjamin Watson Tight End in the NFL gives best response to half black Kaepernicks crap.

[Ridgerunner]

BTW, WTH does Kaepernick's protest has to do with the military? I'll tell you...zilch, zip, nada. The military nonsense is just a red-herring the reactionary right has thrown in the mix to distract from the subject of the protest.

What does kapernick's protest have to do with the military? Just exactly what is the protest attached to. The National Anthem, that is what he is using as a vessel for his protest. Call it protocol or etiquette there are certain customs when the Star Spangled Banner is played. Kapernick's failure to follow these customs is a sign of disrespect.
As far as some dumbass's failure to see the connection to the Military is due to ignorance and a huge sign of disrespect. Last time I was in Atlanta they flew the Flag of the United States of America. Maybe marc is working on changing that... This is for you and your non-patriotic friends who have posted on this OP...


"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort M'Henry",[2] a poem written on September 14, 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large American flag, the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the American victory.

The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men's social club in London. "To Anacreon in Heaven" (or "The Anacreontic Song"), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States. Set to Key's poem and renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner", it soon became a well-known American patriotic song. With a range of one octave and one fifth (a semitone more than an octave and a half), it is known for being difficult to sing. Although the poem has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" was recognized for official use by the United States Navy in 1889, and by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301), which was signed by President Herbert Hoover.

Before 1931, other songs served as the hymns of American officialdom. "Hail, Columbia" served this purpose at official functions for most of the 19th century. "My Country, 'Tis of Thee", whose melody is identical to "God Save the Queen", the British national anthem,[3] also served as a de facto anthem.[4] Following the War of 1812 and subsequent American wars, other songs emerged to compete for popularity at public events, among them "The Star-Spangled Banner", as well as "America the Beautiful".

What is the half black asshole protesting? White cops targeting blacks? That is bullshit. Oh, there is a lot of hype, but it is certainly not true.

We all know how you feel about the gentle giant and that lie that you obviously believe. Even though we know every aspect of what was reported by the media was an out and out lie. We all saw how that same media reported the Trayvon Martin case, starting out by constantly posting his 12 year old photo.

We all know the Minnesota cop was Hispanic and so was the Louisiana cop. Hardly a thing about that in the media. Oh, but sure as shit posted the Officer Wilson marshmallow white fluff complexion on a daily basis, while they lightened the pigment of Zimmerman's skin.

Meanwhile the half black Kaepernick cocksucker shows up with a Fidel Castro t shirt while he is supposedly for human rights? (ooops, did I say human?) Did not mean to offend the blacklives bullshit by suggesting ALL lives matter.

Kaepernick has been brainwashed by his pathetic American hating black C word racist girlfriend. Who is a committed socialist/marxist. Hates America. Hates white people. Ever since he has dated that kuuuunt, he has slowly turned to an American hating ass himself.

Look it up.

Stop crying bitch.

Man up!

Yeah, we know. It is bullshit. That is the point freaking idiot. Take your victimology shit and yell in your fucking echo chambers about it. Not with me.

There is actually more BLACK PRIVILEGE than WHITE PRIVILEGE. In fact whites are incessantly attacked daily by the left. Every fucking day in order to edify their minority voting base in this election year.

The blacks that chant utter shit today spit on the slaves and their misery. Spit on all of them, as if any black today even knows what it is like to be a slave. Ironically, blacks are slaves today too. Still owned by the democrats who own your minds.

What is the half black asshole protesting?

Oppression of minorities. He's said that at least a dozen times

Yes, and he was wrong each time he said it. Regardless of that, how exactly does he work to change this imagined oppression by disrespecting his nation?

How was he wrong. Thats his protest. Thats like saying your dinner plate is wrong

What?

Okay, lets put it this way. He believes that the sun is a bright blue and it is causing people to break out in splotches, and he blames cops for this. So, he is going to protest and disrespect his entire nation because he blames cops for the sun being blue.

In other words, he has an absolute right to protest, even when what he is protesting has been proven to be a lie.

Its a lie, but hey....its his protest.

Well, if you have to make up a totally different reason for protest I guess you're on solid ground.

 

[Rustic]

Last night Benjamin Watson gave a full-fledged response and opinion on the matter on Facebook.

I will not have the option to kneel this Sunday while the National Anthem is being played. A week ago, in what would prove to be my last pre-game opportunity of this 2016 season, I stood with my right hand over my heart as the anthem played. And if I am fortunate enough to ever be dressed for another game day I imagine I would be doing the same thing I did in my last. Standing. Not because America is ALL I desire it to be because most assuredly it is not. Racism still stews, families are fractured, the unborn are trashed, schools are struggling, religious freedom is increasingly under attack, violence pollutes our cities and our suburbs, and there is a growing divide between law enforcement and the community.

I stand, however, because I grew up in NAVY town USA and traveled overseas to support members of our armed forces who follow orders regardless of their personal sentiments. I stand for those who were forced to give their lives building the country that confined them to the tobacco fields and indigo plantations. I stand because as a child, I saw my father stand. A man who lived the tumultuous transition from "separate but equal" to the times surrounding the Civil Rights Act when angry people who held signs at his new school viscously screamed "****** GO HOME!" I stand because on the contrary, no one held such a sign when I walked into my grade school.

Before competition, as I stand in shoulder pads and cleats, my helmet in my left hand, adrenaline flowing and my heart raging under my right, I never forget the ills of America but for a moment I envision its potential, remember its prosperity and give thanks to God for the land He has placed me in and the people I love who live in it.

I stand, because this mixed bag of evil and good is MY home. And because it's MY home my standing is a pledge to continue the fight against all injustice and preserve the greatest attributes of the country, including Colin Kaepernick's right to kneel.

His actions and similar actions by figures of the past and present are a vital part of our journey and a key component of the equation for social change and should be respected as such. From the country's inception, such displays against the status quo are distinctly American. My hope, though, is that these actions bring more attention to the PROBLEM than to the PROTESTOR. And that ensuing dialog discover truth and that truth give birth to justice in legitimate situations where there is none. My hope is that in this time of toil and discord we collectively use our positions in public and private life to take responsibility for our role and collectively seek solutions, not because we HAVE to but because we CARE to. Sometimes listening is of greater value than speaking. As elusive an aspiration as it may be, our goal, especially in the arena of race, should continue to be to create an America where eventually everyone can, in good conscience, stand. No matter the historical context or the present circumstance that is the unity I, perhaps naively, imagine when I see our flag and listen to our anthem.

Conflict when handled correctly strengthens. Conflict when mismanaged destroys.

--------------------------------------------------------

Unbelievable response by Ben Watson. Could not possibly read anything better than that in response to the HALF BLACK Kaepernick's spoiled unappreciative ignorant ass.

I know, I know. The left are fixated on my "half black" comment.

Ain't I a stinker?

Of course he has a right to Kneel, but he also has a right to be a shitty player… That he is. LOL

[HappyJoy]

Excellent find Owl. Thanks.

I find it telling that all of Kaepernicks supporters/defenders point to his "bravery" and/or "heroic" stance, yet these same people cannot see the true bravery and heroism of the military personnel (especially the black personnel) who are actually putting their lives and bodies on the line to maintain and improve the lives of ALL Americans. They are doing what this third-string, bench-warming, whiny, ultra-rich, nothing "athelete" claims his actions are meant to be!

Who says that they can't see the bravery of the military?

BTW, WTH does Kaepernick's protest has to do with the military? I'll tell you...zilch, zip, nada. The military nonsense is just a red-herring the reactionary right has thrown in the mix to distract from the subject of the protest.

It's not working, nor will it work.

His "protest" has everything to do with the military -- you don't see it because you don't want to see and will forever refuse to see it!

While Kaepernick stands during the National Anthem claiming that he doing so because of the "oppression of the blacks" and wearing his cops as pig socks then rushing off the field to spend his millions of "oppressed" dollars --- the men/women of the military are dying and giving up their bodies to insure that this "man" has the opportunity to trash his country and the very men/women who guarantee that opportunity!

That's an extremely naive post. Are you saying that only active military and veterans have the right to protest?
If you disagree with Kaepernick then that's one thing, to want to deny him the right to protest because you don't think he's earned it is something else, something un American.

I guess his doing his one knee thing on Memorial Day, a day to honor our military who died in the line of duty, might have something to do with it.
