Jim Brown To Kaepernick: Desecration of Flag and National Anthem Is Not the Way To Protest

[yseJ]

jim brown another one

lol at 'desecrating flag' too. Kaep did no such thing. not standing up for anthem is desecrating the flag ?

 

[Premeditated]

Yo I never knew so many black people gave a fukk about a national anthem or a flag. This shyt is foreign to me

they don't. They see massa and crackers having an outrage over it and they don't want to feel left out because if white folks are doing it, it must be good. Most black people still unfortunately seek validation(in America atleast) from caucasians.

It boggles my mind hearing civil rights era black folk going on about the sanctity of the flag and the anthem.

It's been almost 50 years since this...

Are there really Black folks out there who have a problem with this?

It not fair to compare that time period to now...
...its a night and day difference.

Plus...football is a team sport in a for profit industry.
Olympics are amateur athletics...solo.
Completely different.

this is way too simplistic.
I hope you really dont think that.

The easy cash grab if youre black is to go along with the majority (and many do).
Speaking your mind if its different than the hive doesnt mean youre doing it to appease white people.

Thats like a whiteboy calling another whiteboy a "cuck" because one doesnt believe in walking with a Nazi flag.

Not comparing the time period, nor am I comparing the sports (tho I disagree with you). Comparing the action with respect to the "disrespecting the flag" / "disrespecting that anthem" comments. Hell, Kaep's even been accused of disrespecting the troops.

 

[The Notorious K.I.M.]

nah


Locker rooms not weak in the NBA like it is in football...look at Dennis rodman vs Terrell Owens

Both did their jobs ... yet Terrell gets labeled a cancer for not biting his tongue.. when the media comes to him..

Basketball players are the product. Football is the product, players are just accessories. That's the real reason they don't allow players to have "personality".

Money is guaranteed in basketball. Great basketball players are rare. Serviceable football players are everywhere.

First time I heard his bytch ass slander Kobe the Gawd I knew this bytch ass nikka was a wholemade bytch.
C00n fukking uncle tom!

blasphemy

You are wrong. All Kaep did was take a seat. What incited everyone was when he was interviewed about it and the comments he made.

You think people give a fukk about the reason why he protested? They didn't care when Lebrun or any other NBA players did it either, the difference is they didn't do it during the anthem.

These leagues are way too invested in white money to offend them. If you offend white people, they can easily speak with their money. They're also the owners,gms and execs.

Comparing the two protests is silly as they were both different, the fan bases are different along with the leagues.

This is only a spectacle because the owners took offence to the protest and are colluding to not sign him. People see through the bullshyt and have a problem with it.

At the end of the day, no rules were broken. You want people to stand, then pit it in the damn rule book.

The message got b*stardized the minute white people got butthurt and started deflecting.

There are people who will kill you dead for disrespecting the neighborhood they grew up in.

If you disrespect the country what else is the expectation gonna be? People will get mad. That's what happened. You can't trample on American exceptionalism and expect it to be business as usual.

White people dont give a flying fukk about this country and this is what black people need to understand. It's not about America, the flag, democracy, or any of that bullshyt. It's ALL about white supremacy. At what point are people going to accept this? This was proven last night for the whole world to see in the Mayweather fight where whites sided with the non American over the American solely due to racial solidarity. That's basically the source of May's come up in boxing. He realized that he could get rich off of white people who desperately want to see him lose, preferably to a non black person whether he's American or not.

Trump's election was also proof that whites don't give a fukk about this country or what it claims to stand for. Imagine if they had the dirt on Obama that they have on trump, he'd be impeached and maybe hung for treason. The same whites who swear up and down how patriotic they are with love for America are the same clowns who voted for trump who has obvious connections to a foreign adversary. You've got to laugh at how blatantly full of shyt whites are.

Trump paints himself as this "law and order" guy while being investigated for colluding with a foreign country to sway the election and obstructing the investigation into whether he and his team colluded. Dude just pardoned a sheriff who was convicted of breaking the law. Trump and his supporters doesn't give a fukk about law and order. It's all game dude.

The concept of freedom, justice, and equality for all is something that whites have never really believed in. Deception is the most powerful tool in the white man's arsenal. They lie all day everyday. Whites only care about things as much as they benefit white people. Blacks have got to wake up to this reality and stop believing in dumb shyt just to soothe low self esteem and cowardliness.

I never heard about this before.

There I was, the black grandson of a slave, the son of a black sharecropper, part of a historic occasion, a symbolic hero to my people. The air was sparkling. The sunlight was warm. The band struck up the national anthem. The flag billowed in the wind. It should have been a glorious moment for me as the stirring words of the national anthem poured from the stands. Perhaps, it was, but then again, perhaps, the anthem could be called the theme song for a drama called The Noble Experiment. Today, as I look back on that opening game of my first world series, I must tell you that it was Mr. Rickey’s drama and that I was only a principal actor. As I write this twenty years later, I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world. In 1972, in 1947, at my birth in 1919, I know that I never had it made

There are people out there that talk that USA is the greatest country on Earth stuff and believe it. Whether or not it's true isn't the point to those people this country is above reproach. It even happens to white celebrities. Adam Levine said some slick shyt in jest and had to back down quick. Ariana Grande had to back down too.

With Kaepernick he never backed down. With other celebs well before shyt hit the fan they apologized and backed down.

Since @SAJ!! wants to make half-assed, vague statements regarding Tommie Smith. Here's an excerpt from his book about Jim Brown.

This was ya hero tho




Threw Smith completely under the bus like the c00n he is. Man fukk this nikka.

Damn.

 

[SunZoo]

When a brother like jim brown has done what he's done for the black community the past 40 years .

Fools calling him a c00n for supporting trump but how many invites to the white household has Jim got for all his community work? That's right zero.

We all know everyone hasn't doneshyt to clap they gums in here. Just gotta respect Jims opinion. If Colin goes on to be an activist he'll only be filling jims shoes

No the fukk we don't.

Woulda negged you if the rep button was available...no way in hell can you say this with a straight face. I can see not wanting get into name calling but respecting his opinion? You can just call a fukking spade a spade and say his opinion is trash...that's like bare minimum you can do.

I gave you a whole post filled with jewels and evidence backing up what I was saying and you respond doubling down on the stupid shyt that I thoroughly debunked. You really can't help the stupid.

Dennis got the same backlash.

winb83 actually made a very good point.
Kaep chose the wrong way to go about things...and now NOBODY is even talking about what the real issue is.
Now its about a millionaire playing football, and if some billionaires should allow him.

Nah, Kap is staying on message...it's about fooseball now because the people in charge refuse to acknowledge what the protest is about. First it's the flag, the military, the game ect...never the actual circumstances that laid the ground for the protest. They are the one's making it about everything but police brutality.

nikkas act like he's the first athlete to be told "keep politiics outtta my sports!". The issue is most people end up folding.

If you noticed Kap ain't said shyt...you ain't see him begging muthafukkas to play. I done seen everybody but Kap get on TV to beg for a spot on a team EXCEPT him...I assume he understands it's bigger than football and has for a while now. So sick of people crying tears for somebody who is chilling and standing on his square, nikkas whining instead of standing behind him. shyt is disgusting.
