Kaepernick Announces New Plans, Says He’s ‘Fighting Against Systematic Oppression, Dehumanization And Colonization’
By  Amanda Prestigiacomo

In an interview published Thursday, famed anthem-kneeler Colin Kaepernick announced plans for an upcoming memoir and a publishing company focused on “black and brown writers and authors.”

Kaepernick also claimed that he still wants to play football in the NFL and is hoping to get a call this offseason, despite the former quarterback ditching an NFL-arranged tryout in November.

The upcoming memoir, which has yet to be named, and publishing company are all part of the former QB’s fight “against systematic oppression, dehumanization and colonization,” Kaepernick told USA TODAY Sports.

“I learned early on that in fighting against systematic oppression, dehumanization and colonization, who controls the narrative shapes the reality of how the world views society,” the multimillionaire said. “It controls who’s loved, who’s hated, who’s degraded and who’s celebrated.”

Oh, boo frickin' hoo! Poor widdle millionaire is soo oppressed!

He chose to disrespect the country that has made him rich. That has consequences.

Just another chapter in the "Victim Chronicles". Maybe they can add it right after Jussie Smollett's.

He can't even get the word right. It's not "systematic" oppression, it's "systemic" oppression.
And there is no systemic or systematic oppression. 
His whole cause is bullsh*t on stilts.

Those are "new" plans?

OK, maybe writing the book is new, but the rest is stuff he's been doing for years now.

What does Kaepernick know about oppression of any kind?  He was raised in a good home, received a university education, had a career in the NFL till he decided to disrespect our flag and now he's making money with his Nike deal.    Doesn't sound to me like he was or is oppressed.

If Kaepernick wants to know about oppression, maybe he should talk to Holocaust survivors or anyone who survived any dictatorial hellhole.  This guy wouldn't know oppression if it bit him in the backside.

So he doesn't get enough $$ selling shoes and hopes for lots more $$ from writing a book? Why do I suspect that the chapter(s) about his time with the 49ers will skirt over the facts that none of his last 3 seasons there were winning seasons, that he was benched for part of the final season for lack of performance, and that he chose to leave the 49ers a year before his contract ended (an option granted by the contract)?

1. Perhaps his GF is, ummmm, high-$$-maintenance?

2. Kaepernick self-sabotaged by refusing to learn/grow professionally.

3. Kaepernick self-isolated by being a lying arrogant assaholic jackass.

Yes indeed.  Whatever "oppression" he is feeling, he brought on himself.

The jerk who runs Nike just experienced a thrill running up his leg.   

Kaep shilling grotesquely overpriced shoes, made by Third World slaves and marketed to allegedly oppressed minorities?

Cha - fricken - Ching!   Systemagical racism SELLS, baby!

Indeed. What kind of would-be publisher doesn't know such things?

Come on cry baby,
It does not hurt you to stand even in a foreign country when their national anthem is played.
It also shows what kind of a person you are.
