Why Colin kneels (for the millionith time)
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...ational-anthem
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has willingly immersed himself into controversy by refusing to stand for the playing of the national anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States.
His latest refusal to stand for the anthem -- he has done this in at least one other preseason game -- came before the 49ers' preseason loss to Green Bay at Levi's Stadium on Friday night.
"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 in an exclusive interview after the 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."
"This is not something that I am going to run by anybody," he said. "I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed. ... If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right."
Kaepernick, who is biracial, was adopted and raised by white parents and siblings.
I know I will not change anyone's mind around here, but still I wanted to present the facts before moving on.

I know the facts and havent forgotten them. He will never gain my respect nor will I remotely consider him a hero. He has gotten his attention and no more. He would stand a chance being heard if he would leave the NFL and travel. Maybe even leave the country.

I still believe Colin’s original protest was being a third string Quarterback.
