Jason Whitlock: “The social media matrix baits celebrities, journalists, athletes, broadcasters, and influencers into creating content that outrages what used to be the establishment. For Black influencers the ‘establishment’ is White, Evangelical conservatives. Black influencers have been convinced that anything that aggravates, annoys, or frustrates White conservatives is a net-positive for Black people. It’s a ridiculous standard and it’s a ridiculous strategy, but it’s what compelled Kaepernick to foolishly kneel during the National Anthem. His protest and support of ‘Black Lives Matter’ did not save one Black life, it accomplished the opposite. It demonized the profession of policing, sparked ‘Defund the Police’ policies and sentiment, and subsequently made Black neighborhoods more violent and crime ridden. It also wrecked Kaepernick's football career. It should be obvious to everyone that Kaepernick regrets sabotaging his playing career. How else do you explain someone who hasn’t played football in SEVEN YEARS begging the Jets to sign him to the practice squad? Kaepernick is 35. Two years ago he released a documentary-style movie about his life and analogized the NFL to a slave plantation. Three years ago he backed out of an organized workout in Atlanta and dawned a ‘Kunta Kinte’ t-shirt. ‘Kunta Kaepernick’ now wants a job back on ‘Massa Goodell’s’ plantation. Make it make sense. It only makes sense if you recognize and acknowledge that Kaepernick’s original protest was devoid of substance and was driven by the social media stimulus that grants clout and relevance to Black people who troll White, Evangelical conservatives. // Colin Kaepernick is a useful idiot following instructions. // Is it not crystal clear that Colin Kaepernick was played? The people that gassed him up -- ‘YEAH, COLIN, STICK IT TO THE MAN AND THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! KEEP KNEELING!’ This man is 35, has no identity, no career, no job, and is writing letters to the New York Jets begging to be on their practice squad, and handing it to a rapper, J. Cole. This man is clueless. This man is Jethro Bodine and we think he was some savior, and we think he accomplished something. Show me what he accomplished other than granting you a feeling of ‘OH, MAN, WE STUCK IT TO THE MAN!’ ‘WE UPSET WHITE CONSERVATIVES!’ That’s how you advance forward, by upsetting White conservatives and making White liberals happy. It’s a game of checkers when the real game is chess. That’s not a strategy, that’s a recipe for destruction. Colin Kaepernick destroyed himself over some foolishness that in no way empowered or helped Black people. Our neighborhoods are not more safe, they’re actually more dangerous. // You think ‘Mute-hammad Ali’ wrote that letter? {to the Jets} This man can barely talk.” (Full Segment Above)
