        Being Black in this country is a 24 hour migraine headache! No matter how talented we are and how much we contribute to this Nation we are viewed as a threat instead of as an asset. Racism is a mental illness. The same Bigots are cheering LeBron James, Steph Curry, on game day!

        Just love the "more white folks are killed by cops" argument folks use. But tell them that more white people are on food stamps and suddenly the percentage of blacks vs population argument comes into play. We won't use that logic it in police shootings though. Predictable.

        Which killings? If he’s saying they are all the same, that’s absurd. Some are justifiable, some aren’t.

        So correct Mr. Kapernick. The police will not hesitate to kill an unarmed African American male. One traffic stop or mistaken identity could be your last day. If you argue or ask why they are harrassing you...people will say you deserved to die. It's scary.

        What does he call the epidemic that is black on black murders? That represents a greater risks to blacks than white cop, black citizen.

        More bulls*** from a washed out bum. Ruined the nfl. Helped deepen the racial divide and perpetuate many falsehoods.

        Then why are twice as many whites killed by police? The narrative doesn't hold water. https://thesocietypages.org/toolbox/police-killing-of-blacks/ …
