I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media after Friday's game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
Yeah, a couple dumb police officers are a bigger issue than the thousands of murders due to gang related violence and the drug trade.
By a "couple of dumb police officers" do you mean a "completely broken system that pro actively works against minorities, whether it be shooting them in cold blood or harsher prison sentences, a systemic racism that goes from cops in the street to lawyers and judges in court rooms"?
Is that what you meant? Because your original statement makes you seem like a simpleton. And while I would disagree with the statement in its amended version that I have created, at least you would be showing that you have a grasp on what the problems are and not just talking out of your ass.

Minorities have all the fucking help in the world. There are millions of successful minorities. There are also millions of those unwilling to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and fucking work. Case fucking closed
