Nike pays anthem kneeler as the face of its new ad campaign

On Monday apparel maker Nike unveiled the new face of its 30th anniversary “Just Do It” campaign: National anthem kneeler Colin Kaepernick, who started the kneel-during-the-anthem protest movement back in 2016.

Kaepernick declared then, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.”

Interesting:  We just got out of 8 years of a black president and two black Attorneys-general.  Blacks make up over 95 percent of the highest-paid athletes.  Years ago we had two black Secretaries of State (Condi Rice and Colin Powell).  Many mayors, congresscritters and police chiefs are black.  Black entertainers make up 80 percent of the highest-paid entertainers.  Black unemployment is at a record-low.  And yet here's this rich whiner, Kaepernick, claiming blacks are "oppressed."

I guess it makes sense, if one focuses on a relatively tiny percentage of cases and then tries to convince people those cases are representative of the country, instead of anomalies.
