15. Thank you for that, Bernardo. So much for

whining about why Colin Kaepernick takes a knee.

23. Exactly. Whites typically are apologists

for the cops, and tend to demonize anyone (including other whites) who stands up to them.

The issue is intertwined, a systemic problem.

The police basically are a 'protection force' for whites, as Amy Cooper('Central Park Karen') alluded to.

Well done, Mr. Kaepernick

21. Ummmm...not exactly...

Launching “a fund to hire top defense lawyers for people arrested” is not exactly “paying” them.

Still, good move. Next to George Soros, no one manages to piss off the Reich better than Kaepernick!

22. The amount of respect I have for Colin Kaepernick is

immeasurable. The word "Hero" gets thrown around a lot. Without question, he's a hero of the highest order.

Definition - Hero: A person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

Outstanding achievements - ✓

I wish there was some way I could let him know how much I truly admire him......
