In before right-wingers/Trump reactionaries unironically mobilize to demand politically correct, safe spaces from Kaepernick's freedom of expression.

ETA: I figured I was too late.

Good for him! My friends and I were actually talking about this at lunch today.

I didn't think Bay Areans would turn on him over this shit, but nahh... I had to have it out with a few people. Some of my friend's friends said it's a "publicity move" so people pay attention to him again and then I had to be like "do you follow his IG? He's always been a vocal social justice advocate."

Ugh, getting sick of reading about people blowing a gasket over this. One of my friends (I get along with her as long as politics aren't brought up..and they usually aren't when we're just hanging out in a group) just reblogged something on facebook that essentially said 'you don't know what oppression is America is the greatest country on Earth' and yet every person I've seen say/post this stuff would know even LESS than Kaepernick about being oppressed considering they're all white as Wonder Bread
