Has-been quarterback Colin Kaepernick is back in the news! Wearing a Malcolm X t-shirt, the malcontent San Francisco 49er veered way off-side logic and common sense when he weighed in on the death of Fidel Castro.
In an interview with the Miami Herald, Kaepernick praised Castro for instituting universal healthcare in Cuba and investing in the education system.
Actually, Castro provided Cubans with enough education to realize how miserable their lives were and then extended their miserable lives with universal health care. Fantastic!
Kaepernick praised Castro for supporting Nelson Mandela when he was jailed but neglected to mention that while Castro stood against racial apartheid in South Africa, he instituted economic apartheid and the beating of black dissidents in Cuba.
The Trudeaus sure know how to pick their friends!
Only Kaepernick doesn’t see if he had pulled his stunt in Cuba and criticized the Castro regime, he’d be in a Havana jail, not on the football field but he has the right to disrespect the U.S. national anthem. That’s how freedom of speech works.
So who mourns for Garret Sparks, the 23-year-old Toronto Maple Leafs farm team goalie who was suspended for violating team policy after using inappropriate language on social media.
Watch as I explain what led to Sparks suspension. Oh, the misogyny!
Can you say “double standard”? Where the hell is the ref, for crying out loud?
In Cuban ruling class race is not an objective scientific category, but rather an organizing principle of political power — both before and after the revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power. From its start, Fidel Castro’s revolutionary movement was dominated by upper and middle-class white men, it remains so today. Despite major economic and social gains, black Cubans remain totally unrepresented in Cuban political leadership. In the years between Castro’s dominance and the collapse of the Soviet Union, race was an issue kept under the rug. Racism in Cuba has been concealed and reinforced in part because it isn’t talked about. The government hasn’t allowed racial prejudice to be debated or confronted politically or culturally, often pretending instead as though it didn’t exist.
Kaepernick is free to move to Cuba and live as a Cuban of color, but of course he won’t, just as Free world blacks are not breaking down Cuba’s doors to immigrate there. So, as usual, the myth of Cuban racial tolerance is just another PC Marxist lie.
Insert any subject out of their realm. Reason,…….is not in their vocabulary.

I hope Garret Sparks has some way of fighting back against these SJW’s who must indeed be 13 year old girls to be offended by the comment. So twisted that people can’t see the difference between Kaepernick and Sparks.
I’m sure Raul would take Kaepernick in. I understand he doesn’t even vote, so he wouldn’t mind living in a dictatorship. I just guess he’s getting booed. What a fool.
