Yes there's a discussion to be had in regards to the excessive use of force by police, but Kaepernick and BLM aren't the folks to hold that conversation with. Salute them for drawing attention to a cause, but their "solutions" would only exacerbate things.

Again, I'll have to claim to be uninformed about what Colin actually says. I thought he was clear from the very beginning why he was protesting, and it all had to do with the white cop/black man shooting crisis in the streets. I haven't seen Colin attaching himself to BLM, but maybe the other way around. That's a fine line, but important nonetheless.

I DON'T believe Colin himself has ulterior motives of any type, most certainly not communism. I frankly don't know where you got that. I DO praise him for drawing attention to a cause, as you said.... but haven't exactly heard of him suggesting any solutions. It's important to me to keep to what's in front of me. I'm not going to simply lump Colin and BLM extremists together because they all happen to be black and indignant over the crisis I've already mentioned.
