CBS News: Colin Kaepernick removed from Black History Month resolution in his home state
- Thread starter StarCreator

That's pretty disgusting.
The way Kaepernick has been treated says a lot about how much his protest has struck a chord with Republicans, and says a lot about how deeply racism is likely ingrained into the Republican mindset.
For all intents and purposes, Kaepernick is a hero of the people. One of these days his sacrifices will be known and honored, and I hope all of those who dragged him down with racist coverup and intent are shamed.

This shit right here....just fire every single GOP Wisconsin official into the goddamn sun.
Black History Month but we whitewash is so that it's about the whites trying to act like they care about the blacks rather than it actually being about the blacks.
Self avowed patriots that they believe they fight for the flag, constitution, etc.
And racists pieces of shit.
OP
OP
We're halfway through February and they're apparently still debating the resolution. Given that, the Republican opposition must be insurmountable and this was preferable to there being no resolution at all.
Ignorance, racism, propaganda, etc. A lot of layers to unpack. Racism isn't a paradigm leaving anytime soon.
GOP:
Condoleezza Rice worked for a war criminal administration that killed lots of brown people = One of the good ones, worthy of black history month
Colin Kaepernick asking for police to stop executing black people on the spot = uppity black man, get him out of here
Republicans are the white power party

I don't understand how any black person there can proudly support the resolution after the GOP have soiled it with their racism. It's a farce at this point.
Guy who kneels during pledge: Teh Bad
Guy who hangs with Russian Intelligence agents and assets: Teh Gud
It's Wisconsin. There's like 7 Black people in the state at any given moment. The Black Caucus is heavily outnumbered.
Honestly I think back to InnuendoStudio's "Angry Jack" video and it explained a lot of the mentality.
It's not so much that kneeling was the problem as much as it was people getting defensive that the protest was implying something about themselves.
I'm sure if a white guy did it, they wouldn't mind so much. Might even call him brave for it.
honestly i think knees are an affront and people should be punished for using them
GFDI Wisconsin. Why you always do this?
And my cowworkers wonder why I don't want to move there. Politically, the state's a mess.

White politicians having a say in who the Black Caucus is allowed to honor for Black History Month just... doesn't compute...
Like these people associate Kaep as like Robert E Lee or something. Like he is that offensive some how?
Simultaneously one of the loudest and most quiet protests of all time. The kneel heard around the world.

It's America. If you're not white and you take a sociopolitical stance, no matter how righteous, then expect to get shit on.
