Kaepernick and gratitude

Jim Crow laws were, and are, a terrible stain on this nation's history. Human institutions - our Constitution for example - are usually so much better than the humans themselves.



Lloyd Marcus  "A black relative in his late 50s told me I should be more sympathetic toward Colin Kaepernick's grievances with America; more understanding of young blacks dissing their country.

"I say, “Hogwash!”

"My 88-year-old black dad might have a reason to dis our National Anthem, but not Kaepernick.  Kaepernick is a wealthy bi-racial pro-athlete whom America has been extremely good to. His grievances are rooted in ingratitude and lies promoted by Black Lives Matter.

"Dad told me when he was a young Merchant Marine, after several months at sea their ship arrived at a maritime base in St. Petersburg, Florida. The crew was extremely excited about their much-anticipated shore leave. Then, Dad and his fellow black seaman were told they could not leave the ship due to the town's curfew for blacks. Dad said his outraged fellow black seaman exploded into an endless rant of cussing. Dad said he cried." . . .

Blacks' negative experiences in America are all easily traceable back to their irrational loyalty to Democrats; sleeping with their enemy.
