He's an example of the mental derangement that afflicts many Igbos that disgrace our name. My Facebook page is filled with many of them: fanatical Trump supporters who feel some weird kinship with him. grin See the person proudly posting memes that are clearly from white supremacist sites. The clown doesn't also know that Kaepernick is well known for his philantropy in the black community and even his travels to Somalia to provide relief materials to starving, displaced communities. The clown also keeps repeating the reetarded line that Kaepernick's agitation started when he was about to be replaced by a white guy. When in reality, everyone knew he was committing career suicide that is still affecting him today, as no NFL team wants to offer a player of his controversy a contract. What he did was basically brave and foolish because he is now being blackballed by NFL teams and no companies would endorse him.

Democracy is not about disrespecting your country and its national anthem.

This is anti-america

Thats the beauty of democracy. Once you aint violating any section of the law you can do what you like smiley . This isnt an occultic allegiance, patriotism isn't a law, if your country chooses to over look killing of unarmed black citizens, if KKK group which openly killed blacks isn't still outlawed , if your presidents stance doesn't favour you, you can protest any way you deem fit, so long you aint breaking any law

This is a people problem, I dare say a typical Nigerian people problem, in fact. Some people believe that once someone does you a favour, you should lick their balls till kingdom come.
Because he was raised by whites, he has no rights?? He has no rights to protest injustice and racial discrimination?? Or maybe he has them, but shouldn't exercise them? Speaking up against inequality isn't stabbing his white parents in the back, and it sure as hell isn't stabbing the white majority. Even the white mum, like many other whites, supports him. Bro, you ain't white, you ain't even AfroAmerican, so what's the deal?

#TakeAKnee was never even about the flag or anthem in the first place. The same Trump who hardly pays obeisance when their anthem plays, the same Trump who said burning the flag was a "powerful and peaceful" way of protesting... the same man says not standing to anthem is a disrespect to the country, and everyone - including my Nigerian brothers - takes him seriously. SMH. We have enough problems of our own abeg.

The American national anthem did not start with Trump. How dare they disrespect their national anthem.

This is Anti democracy and anti everything the United States stands for! Even I will not sit or kneel when the Nigerian Anthem is being played.
Shame on them. Just shame on them!

If they refuse to sing their anthem, me I will sing it for them!


O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
They Thought they were mocking Trump not knowing they were Shaming themselves and their country.

What an idiot..
The guy that started it doesn't even know who his father is. His black father impregnated her mum and left even before he was born. Her mum who doesn't want a black kid gave him up for adoption not long after he was born even though her mums parent was insupport of her keeping the baby.

He was bought up by his adopted white parents who he now only knows as his parents. His real mum has spoken out against trump as well by saying she is now a bitch

The adoptive white mum - Teresa Kaepernick - said that, not the birth mum.

U see Americans don't suffer 4rm stockholm syndrome like Nike Nigerians do. If trump respects what america stands for,he wouldn't divide his country on racial grounds. America was more of a united country until he came along. How does dividing ur country relate to putting things right?

Don't get it twisted, dissent is not d same as disrespect. Trump is dividing his nation thru his inappropriate & consistent loyalty to his racist base of supporters.
Dissent & defiance of Trump's divisive rhetoric is patriotic & that's why u see dat it's not only blacks that ar speaking out. There ar more blacks involved because Blacks form about 2/3 of athletes in d NFL/NBA.
Educate urself about Trump, d "Birther-in-Chief & you'll realize dat all his life he's always been a racist & a bigot. It is telling dat Trump is more offended by athletes kneeling during d US national anthem than by d Klu-klux-klan & Neo-Nazis yelling "blood & soil" on d streets. Let me be clear, Donald Trump is a bully & a racist.

What disrespect do you mean that is better than kneeling to make respect for national anthem? National anthem should be separated from sport in as much as every team has its anthem which is better to the team than this hullabaloo.

And this your hasty conclusions based on reactive sentiments is why you niggerians keep making the same mistakes over and over again - akin to fetching water with a basket.

The dude behind all this rubbish had been duly informed by his club that his $20mll contract won't be renewed over his poor performance this season.

He later found out that a white guy was drafted to replace him and then he began playing the race card.

This is someone who his black father rejected and who grew up in foster care with white parents.

This is somebody who has never publicly aligned with any black American cause or charity and who has never been to the hood.

This ingrate did not complain when his white boss signed him for $20mll which as a foster child he never even bothered to reciprocate by adopting a similar child in need.

I have been to the US and I can tell you the biggest losers are black Americans who demand quota system in the form of afairmitive action

They play the race card whenever to get freebies and are the most delinquent and degenerate demographic in America.

With just a population under 10%, Black America accounts for 90% of unwanted babies.

Black America accounts for 75% of HIV infections among women and nearly 100% of mother to baby infections.

65% of black American men are bisexual.

Blacks form 75% of the prison population and are 60% most likely to be killed by fellow blacks before they reach 24.

Black churches that used to be conservative during the time of Martin Luther are now cesspit of homosexuality, pedophiles and pedastry.

It is that fcking bad.

Their only role models are rappers and sportsmen and local thugs.

Fck this idiot. If he truly cared about the plight of blacks in America he should have reached to the urban and ghetto kids without a fatherly figure and not start a useless defiance movement which only exposes him as the fraud and ingrate he has always been.
