Kapernick knelt in solipsistic quicksand

                                                             Why the protest?

Colin Kaepernick has suggested that he will need to see significant progress toward improving social justice and racial equality before he considers ending his national anthem protest.

The San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback initially sat and then kneeled when The Star-Spangled Banner was played before preseason games. He took a knee again ahead of the team’s regular-season opener Monday night.

Kaepernick has become the figurehead for a growing movement around the league and admitted he can foresee a situation whereby he ends his protest, but only if he feels it has had the desired effect.

“I don’t want to kneel forever,” he said. “I want these things to change. I do know it will be a process, and it is not something that will change overnight. But I think there are some major changes that we can make that are very reasonable.”

He has refused to come to terms with his being a Mullato; he defines himself as black.

He lost his starting job to a white man with blonde hair; don't think the other black players in the NFL aren't dogging him because of it.

But, he says, the reason for the protest is a lack of social justice and racial equality but he is unable or unwilling to define those terms.

So, he is kneeling, and sinking, in a rhetorical quicksand of his own making and his professed reasons for kneeling have been reframed by those who hate his protest; they are defining his actions as un-American and being opposition to the military.

There is simply no way America is going to do anything that will even come within a galactic distance of his demand- 

But I think there are 

some major changes that we can make that are

very reasonable -

because this is a general election season during 

which time nothing is done by the gov't.

Kapernick is slowly sinking; he has knelt 

and he can't get-up without violating his 

publicly professed reasons for the protest.

I am quit amused by all of this and I love the

fact that ESPN and all the other Liberal Sports

Media have been in such full support of his 

actions because watching them try to explain 

away his eventual boredom with kneeling will 

be funny to read about.
