GQ names Kaepernick ‘Citizen of the Year’

Colin Kaepernick has been named GQ Magazine's 2017 "Citizen of the Year."

GQ referred to Kaepernick as "the man who became the movement."

"Much has changed in the four years since Colin Kaepernick was last on the cover of GQ. Back then he was a rippling superhero of a quarterback on the rise," the magazine wrote.

"But a simple act — kneeling during the national anthem — changed everything. It cost him his job. It also transformed Colin Kaepernick into a lightning rod and a powerful symbol of activism and resistance."

I have always admired people with fierce integrity, people who value humanity and self-respect more than money.

Also too, I think that dude has some cool ass hair!

 

[MAGA MAN]

He's unemployed. Why are so many black men unemployable?

So small male chickens can feel good about themselves. Like the one asking the question.

 

[MAGA MAN]

The race card. Big surprise.

Since I have never been unemployed since age 16 I can't relate to your condition, sorry.

Since you responded, projection says yes you can.

 

[MAGA MAN]

No. I can't imagine what it's like to be a burden on society or others. How about you

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

Glad to see this.

It's what citizenship is about - being an active participant in democracy & discourse, and not just (pardon the pun) watching from the sidelines...

 

[MAGA MAN]

Unless there was a cash reward the half white guy abandoned by his black family and raised by whites is still unemployed...

Myself? No. I have experienced others being a burden on me. Maybe as a member of society it effected me and by extension society. But that's just blathering bullshit.
But I do KNOW something. Nothing has been a burden on you or me from society because of color or race. I KNOW since you have not lived in the ghetto and I have been around it. I have because as a working class white guy as a kid I was around that and guess what, I didn't become a reactionary bitch. Unlike you, it drips from every post, so soft, you are. So faux tuff. Further I succeeded beyond even my families expectations neither because or in spite of superficial shit like 'burden on society. That's what safely in the suburbs ass wipes say whom never actually experienced even the edge of 'the burden of society' as you so colloquially call it. Never actually felt the edge of life, like say yourself. It's so transparent on your part. Yet you got job and work and stuff. How cute. How superficial, how irrelevant.

I've worked since I was 10 years old. I work at the greatest job in the world. I AM living the dream and I came from nothing. I've nothing to prove and I laugh at dumb asses like you but only when dumb asses like YOU specifically ask for it.

Well if you count delivering newspapers, cutting lawns, shovelling driveways or doing chores around the house to earn a 25 cent allowance, I suppose that I could claim that I was working since I was 6, but I'm talking actual full-time employment here.

All those years around the periphery of a ghetto and you've never been chased out of the 'hood by folks because your skin color was different? You've never been shoved in a bar or threatened for being "whitey"? Never forbidden to go further than a certain stop on the subway line because of your race? You haven't really lived then. LOL

Why are you such a racist

Son I've had worse than that and yet I'm still not the insecure lil' bitch you are. Sucks to be you.

I don't need to read a pathetic gay magazine to know how to dress. I learned how to dress as a child. What's your excuse?
