Are you surprised? People make their minds up and stick with it. Look at DK and Russ. Those guys are Satan according to many posters on this site.

Exittium":24oywgq6 said:I haven’t seen it, and I’ll be honest when it was first announced and I saw a clip of it, of him in assuming (I could be wrong) comparing the NFL combine and other things in a Sport that got him his millions $$$ and the attention he craved, to slavery and being treated like objects and making it about race when the nfl is has a mix of a variety of races and backgrounds.. I said nope. Especially when yearly there’s alway an article that seems to come out about how he says “he wants to play in the NFL, and has stayed in shape”…, I’m sorry bruh, ya cant keep biting the hand (NFL) that fed you and expect it to keep feeding you. Especially in a documentary so you can get your point across. There are as many people have said in the past better ways to go about it with more respect and maturity.
Does it bother me what he’s done and am I offfended? Hell no. I wasn’t even offended by his peaceful protests. But in the end He’s at least found an appropriate platform to do it, and bring awareness.

As far all the instances I obviously can't speak on those, I never spent a day with the man. What I can tell you is, as a person of color, before he was who he is, even today,, he experiences bigotry and racism just like every other person of color in this country has. I can go all day on my experiences as a mixed person if color, raised in a middle class neighborhood being 1 of 10 black students in the school, but you don't want to hear the truth. Doesnt fit your agenda.
Critical learning my ass, it's called American history... lol. I'm done. Enjoy the rest of your angry little life...
So basically no answer, ok got it, thanks for sharing.
It's a waste of time trying. Folks like this don't want to hear the truth, they've already made their minds up years ago, I could type responses till my fingers bleed and it won't change a thing. So why bother. They're just looking for a fight. It's sad folks go through life with so much anger and hatred.
I mean seriously the real question is, why do they really hate Colin, what did he do to them? What did he do to affect their life to the point where they hate him? Such a strong emotion, certainly he did something other than just protest?

First off in all this typing you've done you could have typed an example of how CK is oppressed. It's not that I can't understand more like you can't give one.
I never said I hate CK, I just don't think he is the one that should be representing the oppressed, he clearly has never experienced oppression.

I know boo boo. Life's not fair. Sorry not playing your game..
If you don't know what oppression is by now it's because you don't want to know.. if you do, educate yourself you'll learn more...

Oh I know what oppression is and it's not CK.
You've spent more time deflecting than answering the question. I'm sure you can find examples of oppression just not with CK. Just admit you're wrong about him and move on.

Again already have bud. You just choose to ignore it..
Fact of the matter is I could destroy your little quest here, but it would be a colossal waste of time. You are who you are and no examples or evidence or personal experiences i share with you is going to change your mind. And that's not my problem, it yours. Like I said you're a angry, hateful little man, who will live out his life filled with anger and hate.. So good luck with that.

You can't even come up with an example of your argument. The only thing you're destroying is your own position.
Good luck with life. Moving on now.

For those on the slow bus, I'll type it again. One example of him being oppressed, is
"getting blackballed from the NFL for his peaceful protest".
You want more examples. Do your own research.... :2thumbs:

CK is an employee, when you work for a company and violate their rules you get fired.
If you do things that in the eyes of the employer make the company look bad you get fired.
CK got fired, then hired by NIKE and other organizations. This not the definition of oppression, if it is, we've all been oppressed.
Because CK was NOT protesting his personal treatment. He wasn't complaining that he was being oppressed, at least not before the insane RW rage directed at him after he rather quietly decided to kneel during the anthem. He was protesting for those who are not as well off as he was. He was protesting in empathy for those blacks who have faced inhuman treatment from police around the country.VA49er":8qqfrmll said:hawker84":8qqfrmll said:VA49er":8qqfrmll said:hawker84":8qqfrmll said:I know boo boo.

Stand for the flag, kneel for the fallen. As a former soldier myself I don't have to like his kneeling during the national anthem but it's why I served to defend his right to do so.
I still don't think he is in any way shape or form oppressed. I also don't think he should be the spokes person for those that are actually oppressed.
His comparison of the combine to slavery is absurd. Slaves had no choice. The combine is a try out with the potential to earn millions and a choice.
