    In a sentiment Colin Kaepernick has echoed throughout his protests as an NFL player, he quoted Jackie Robinson's words in a tweet Sunday: "I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world." https://usat.ly/2H2nAuu pic.twitter.com/SHAmaD0d3n

        As I Read The Comments I Can Actually Feel How #JackieRobinson Must Have Felt Reading #HateMail &Even Though Robinson Wrote This Quote In His 1972 Autobiography @Kaepernick7 Had The Courage Of His Convictions To #Protest As A Starting QB For The #49ers! #PoliceBrutality #SaluteCK

        Kap you are nothing like Jackie Robinson and comparing yourself is disgusting. Robinson risked his life every day for equality & opportunity at an extremely dangerous time. You’ve had scholarships and opportunity given to you because of this great man and you blew it. That’s on u

        Kaperpants your attempt at a social issue was uneducated. You couldn't handle those times. People had grit back then. Times were hard. Now we have participation trophies. Seems some cry just to cry. Jackie set a lot of records on and OFF the field. Your no comparison!!!!

        Lls how can he set records when you're being blackballed. And do you know why we adopted this playing the anthem in the NFL in 2009?

        Only half black though, correct? Does he think his black half is so ignorant & helpless that his white half has to stick up for it? Poor, cofused little fella....

        Racism is an excuse for everything I guess. Tired of everyone using the race card.
