Colin Kaepernick; the Spirit of BLM; and Code Language

8/30/2016

   Star San Francisco 49er quarterback sat out the National anthem on last Friday’s pre-season game. When asked the reason, “I am not going to stand-up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour. 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.”
   This statement does not specifically reveal his intent, so he continues: “There are a lot of things that need to change. One specifically is police brutality. There are people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable. Cops are getting paid leave for killing people. That’s not right by anyone’s standards.”
   However, this final statement identifies the ‘spirit of BLM’ as the real driving ‘spiritual’ force behind Kaep’s political stand: “People of color have been targeted by police.” 
   Actually, Mr Kaepernick raised many issues: Can Black people honor the flag? Can Blacks honor the National anthem? Can Blacks be American patriots? Are people of color oppressed by Whites? Is there evidence of police brutality? Are police murdering Black people?
    First, let’s cut to the chase, and go straight to the code language! Like BLM, Mr Kaepernick’s accusation of “police brutality” was not directed to speak in behalf of what he calls the “oppressed people”, or “the people of color”--such as Hispanics, Indians, or Asians--but for Black people! In other words, like BLM, by the term “people of color”, Kaep means Black people. Furthermore, like BLM, the words “police brutality” do not refer to police using unwarranted force against citizens. At its essence, it does not even mean police using unwarranted force against Blacks—in fact they mean Whites justifying the murder of Blacks! How can I make such an outlandish statement? Very easy! What is the conclusion of BLM’s contention that “Police kill young black men”? Liberals shout the P.C. answer: “police brutality!” to cover their real intent. Yet, the more obvious answer is: Police target Blacks because America is, and has always been a White racist nation! In other words, their intent is not to attack police brutality, but to expose America’s inherent racism!! 
  But, what is meant by American racism?  Is it…Asians hate Whites? NO! Hispanics hate Blacks? NO! Indians hate the Chinese? NO! We know for certain it is not Blacks hating Whites, because according to liberalism, Blacks can’t be racist!  On the contrary, we all know it means: 1.‘Whites hate Blacks’! and/or, 2.Whites hate all people of color! Remember, Black Lives Matters uses ‘Black’, not ‘Asians Lives Matter’; not ‘Hispanics Lives Matter’; not ‘Indian Lives Matter’…but ‘Black Lives Matter’. For this reason, their use of ‘police brutality’ cannot refer to the police brutalizing all people! As a matter of fact, BLM believes ‘All lives Matter’ is racist! So by their words, they restrict themselves to police brutalizing ‘Blacks’!! Therefore, I repeat, the motivation of Kaep and BLM (and liberalism)is: American racism ‘is’ White racism! In other words, their code is because Whiteness is racism, and America is White, America is racist! Therefore, America can discontinue racism only when it ceases to be White! This is the spirit of BLM; the spirit Mr Kaepernick is promoting!!
  Come on…think about it--isn’t Mr Kaepernick protesting by sitting out the ‘NATIONAL’ anthem? The national anthem represents America! So in fact, by sitting out the National anthem, refusing to honor the flag, his own words describe his motivation: “Cops are getting paid leave for killing people.”  Therefore, like BLM, he equates ‘police brutality’ with ‘White racist America’!!!   
   Second piece of evidence. Think of all the young men the media has shown fatally shot by police. What do they have in common? They’re all Black! In spite of the fact that in 2015, almost double the number of Whites were shot by police than Blacks* (494 to 254); and if you add-in the Hispanic fatalities (172); the number of police shootings is almost 3 times higher for Whites and Hispanics than Blacks…yet not ‘one’ of the young men shown on national t.v. shot by police is anything other than Black!! Is that an accident? Don’t be naïve! Liberals “…suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Rom1:18)!! 
    Moving past Mr Kaepernick’s (and BLM’s) motivation, are his statements true?
”There are a lot of things that need to change. One specifically is police brutality.”
“People of color have been targeted by police.”
These statements are his evidence for ‘White racist America’.
         Here are the facts:
1.Washington Post* records the numbers of police shootings for 2015: Whites-494; Blacks-254; Hispanics-172. Of course, these facts don’t agree with Kaep’s(and BLM): “police target Blacks” idea.
2.Harvard graduate, Roland Fryer,** who is a Black man, began his study agreeing with Kaepernick and BLM. Yet, after analyzing 1000 police shootings, he found ZERO racial bias. In Houston, he actually found just the opposite of Kaep and BLM—blacks were 24% less likely to be shot by police, even when they were armed and violent.
3.Dr. Lois James,*** Researcher at Washington State University found police were less likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than unarmed white or Hispanic suspects in simulated threat scenarios. 
    On the other hand, what about the common liberal/Kaepernick/BLM come back: The ‘proportion’ of blacks shot by police is much higher than Whites and Hispanics! Blacks comprise 26% of police shootings, yet make-up only 13% of population--proving America is a White racist nation!”  Sorry, but the following violence statistics are common across America!!
4.The Department of Justice study examined 75 of the largest counties across the nation.  Blacks were charged with 62% of robberies; 57% of murders; and 45% of assaults. In N.Y. alone, Blacks commit over 75% of shootings, while comprising 23% of population. In contrast, Whites commit 2% of shootings, but comprise 34% of population.**** 
5.In Chicago alone, in 2016, over 2300 people were shot from January through mid-July. In total, there are 212 days in those 7 months. This boils down to 10 shootings per day!! However, since the vast majority of the shootings occurred on the weekends, at many points, there was one shooting per hour!! By comparison, during that same period, the Chicago police shot 12 people, and every person was armed. Divide 2300 into 12, and you have .005% of the shootings in 2016 were by police. Who is being shot? AND, who is doing the shooting? Blacks and Blacks! 
6.What is a further tragedy about Black on Black crime is that older people do not tend to kill other people; nor do women and the very young. Therefore, according to journalist Larry Elder, this means 3 percent of the population, black men from 15 to 44 years old, commit nearly half of the country's homicides!!*****
   How can any honest person wonder why there is a higher proportion of Blacks shot by police, when Blacks are committing the greater proportion of the crime; and are therefore confronted more times by police in violent scenarios!?!? 
  Yet Mr Kaepernick, and the spirit of BLM, says, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour.” Are cops racist? Not according to the facts. Are cops targeting Blacks? Not according to the facts! Are Blacks oppressed by Whites? What is interesting about this last question is that liberals never define ‘White’ oppression! Yet, if they define it by ‘police brutality’, the answer is: not according to the facts! One man said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” 
    In conclusion, there is a concerted effort by Satan to destroy America, because of God’s call on the nation. I am not an American patriot because America is perfect, but because of a loyalty to God’s calling! On the contrary, by siding with individuals or organizations who reject God’s purpose for this nation, you are contributing to the nation’s destruction!

I have tried to follow your logic but am just not getting it. Whatever you think of the BLM group to imply that the white majority has somehow put to rest their 400 plus year history of blatant and institutional racism is astonishing.

Can't define white oppression? Here is just a few examples of past and present forms of discrimination: slavery, Jim Crow, lynching, denial of voting rights and today the right-wing has concocted voter ID laws carefully designed to suppress black votes under the guise of combating the nonexistent voter fraud problem, unfair sentencing of blacks who commit the same crime as whites, red lining, historic and present day discrimination in hiring, uneven application of the death penalty for the same crimes as whites, mass syphillis experimentation on black men, blacks are 5 times more likely to be stopped by cops than whites no matter what their position in life, blacks have historically been denied mortgages and loans at a much higher rate than whites even if they have similar qualifications, when they do get loans they are often charged a higher rate, until the late 70s blacks could not attend most white colleges and universities, predominantly black schools are typically underfunded, blacks have a documented history of often receiving inferior healthcare even when they are insured, tax cuts particularly designed to hurt blacks more than whites and police are more likely to use force against blacks than they do against whites.

These are just some of the obvious forms of oppression the more subtle forms are even more prevalent. In my solid middle class neighborhood of doctors and professionals for years a mysteriously small amount of trash was periodically tossed in my front yard. This was not a long running coincidence it was just one of my unknown neighbors expressing their feelimgs about my family living in their neighborhood. Another example when my restaurant was being built out some of the white contractors would often initially ignore me when I was on site and speak instead to the 26 year old white manager I hired even though I was dressed professionally and paying everyone's salaries. Even now some white customers will come in and are incredulous that I am the owner. I had one argue with me that I must be a partial owner I could not possibly be the owner. I am not saying this because I dislike white people but this is just part of the black experience in America. Some handle it better than others. I find it surprising that a black pastor would adopt the broad brush judgemental language of the political right wing media propagandists but in America everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Based upon your writings I assume blacks have brought this all upon themselves because of deception by the godless liberals. Black people have issues for sure, we have a self hatred issue. Unfortunately centuries of oppression and humiliation exacts a generational toll. Sadly we have often adopted the language and views of the opressors and turned it upon each other. I heard it around me growing up. Words matter a lot. It is not easy for a people whose very skin tone elicits all the stereotypes and prejudices that have been heaped upon them for centuries before they even open their mouths. Forty or so short years of post civil rights legislation and right-wing propagandist denying that racism exists except on the part of liberals and blacks is at best profound ignorance and at worse willful deception.

I also don't get the angst that drives your view that blacks can't be patriotic which I feel is another broad and erroneous generalization. Also where in the Bible is patriotism described as a virtue and exactly where is America referred to in the Bible? And doesn't the first amendment give everyone the right to express themselves about something even if others don't agree with it?
