The latest attack on Colin Kaepernick came from the highest office in the land.
By Rickey Hampton, Editor and Founder of The African-American Athlete
The pseudo-political rally Friday night in Alabama was nothing more than a Klan rally. The only thing missing was the hood and a burning cross. Check that, the only thing missing was the burning cross because the speaker, the man who lives at the White House, and supposed to be the leader of our country, is a racist.
Really, anyone who condones what that man said last night is a racist, and is un-American. If you got friends who support this man, you need to watch your back, could this is how they really think.
Essentially, the racist man attacked Colin Kaepernick and the other men who have protested the ‘Star Spangled Banner’:
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out, you’re fired!’ ” “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out, you’re fired!’ ”
Now, no one is really surprised by anything this racist says. This miserable human being will say or do anything to feed his narcissistic personality disorder.
What we need to recognized is that anyone who will stand by him feels the same way.
Consider that many of the same people who cheered on that fool last night will be cheering for the black players who play at Alabama and Auburn during today’s game.
Just remember the moment those black players step out of line, they will turn on them, too.
It would be nice to see the NFL push back on what the racist man said. I am not waiting for that moment, though. All the NFL powers want is to see these men block, tackle, and score touchdowns.
Perhaps his attack will inspire more athletes _ black and white _ to protest the anthem before the Sunday’s games. Because whether they understand it or not the racist man’s attack of Kaepernick and others, was an attack on them, too.
