What The Media Did Not Report: Here Is The "Ignored" Part Of Kaepernick's Speech

Wait, you mean it's not fine? Now I'm confused. Kaepernick says it's not fine, and there's a problem. Maybe you're just not allowed to say that it's not fine if you have a picture of Castro on your shirt? Or maybe you're not allowed to criticize America if your skin is...Ahh, nevermind

No problem, it happens, is easy for you to be confused here.

I`m voting for the guy saying America needs to be great again, not the one saying it was never broken and we are fine.
To say "make America great again", you have to acknowledge it is not, first. Trump has done that. Hillary says we are fine and not broken and disagrees with Trump.
Please look into each Candidate`s message before voting, voting confused is never a good thing.

because everyone who is interested in sidetracking the conversation
Like you are doing? That's your MO.

fidel castro shirt" while completely ignoring the fact that Malcolm X was displayed every bit as prominently on the shirt. Not to mention the fact that he was also wearing a Malcolm X hat. But that, of course, doesn't fit your little narrative.
How does that change the absurdity of his stance? My point was made, if you want to make more of it or are to blind to see it troll you know who.

Yeah, I'm sidetracking.
No, you're trolling. Do you have issues with MX?

See, one man has nothing to do with the other, but you knew that already. C- for effort, you slipping kid.

“I’m going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. There is police brutality. People of color have been targeted by police…There’s people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable.” (Colin Kaepernick)

While proclaiming the sentiments above Colin Kaepernick wore a T-shirt showing Fidel Castro. If Kaepernick were starring in a Monty Python or SNL skit we’d get it. If he was starring in a Twilight Zone or Alice in Wonderland remake we’d understand.

But the shirt did not seem to denote any sentiments satiric or surreal. Instead, while denouncing oppression, Kaepernick chose to idolize a Stalinist dictator who jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin himself during the Great Terror.

While denouncing “police murders” Kaepernick idolized a Stalinist dictator whose KGB-trained police and death squads murdered more Cubans in his first three years in power than Hitler murdered Germans during his first six.

While denouncing “injustices against people of color” Kaepernick idolized the jailer and torturer of the longest suffering black political prisoners in the modern history of the Western hemisphere. Many of these black Cubans suffered longer and more horrible incarceration in Castro’s KGB-designed dungeons than Nelson Mandela spent in South Africa’s (relatively) comfortable prisons, which were open to inspection by the Red Cross. Castro has never allowed a Red Cross delegation anywhere near his real prisons.


N**ger!” taunted my jailers between tortures,” recalled the late Cuban political prisoner Eusebio Peñalver to this writer. “We pulled you down from the trees and cut off your tail!” laughed my torturers.For months I was naked in a 6 x 4 foot cell. That’s four feet high, so you couldn’t stand. But I felt a great freedom inside myself. I refused to commit spiritual suicide.”

Naturally you’ve never heard of Eusebio Peñalver, or of any of his black Cuban co-heroes like Ignacio Cuesta Valle, Antonio López Muñoz, and Dasio Hernández Peña who all suffered prison terms longer than did Nelson Mandela.

And yet their suffering took place only 90 miles from U.S. shores in a locale absolutely lousy with international press bureaus and their intrepid “investigative reporters.” From CNN to NBC, from Reuters to the AP, from ABC to NPR to CBS, Castro welcomes all of these to “embed” and “report” from his fiefdom. For all the good it does when it comes to reporting truth.

Actually, no Cuba-watcher with half-a-brain expects networks bestowed Havana bureaus by KGB-trained apparatchiks to even feign honesty, or even play-act their professed duty: “to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”
