I made the meme so I probably agree.
I'm incredulous that someone that wealthy and privileged can find reason to protest his country.
I doubt he'd be a millionaire in any other.

He wasn't protesting the country. He was protesting young black unarmed males being killed in the street by law enforcement.
Keep up ATA.
"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."

Those women aren't American black males, so they have no concept of oppression. It's not like they have a massive number of social programs, scholarships and grants to help them go to college or learn a trade, a robust welfare system, the luxury to protest the very people tasked with maintaining law, order, and safety, or the potential to turn natural physical talents into million dollar paydays by playing children's games in organized professional leagues... therefore, they don't understand Kaepernick's struggle.

Well, you either know what they are protesting about, or you don't get it.
