You folks know what was a sizeable portion of the Haight/Asbury population in the 60s? Kids from Marin.
See, the rich kids from Marin used to come down to the Haight, smoke a little pot, dream about Utopia, then go back home to the parent's houses on hill sides overlooking the San Francisco Bay or the Pacific Ocean. Not all of course. There were a lot of things that converged there as most of us know, and many who were there were truly trying to make change. After 67 it became a Heroin fest and the rest is a pretty sad history. But there were some genuinely political people involved who did make some genuinely good arguments against the establishment. It got bastardized and that's pretty much that. To Kaepernick, here's what we know:
And all over the internet people lose their damn minds. Look this kid is looking for attention and couldn't hold an equitable conversation on the subject of his protest even with someone like me. The hottie DJ probably has as much to do with his 'protest for the downtrodden' as any true activism he might have in his tiny, pea brain. Probably (likely) much much more. So y'all keep on yelling back and forth. Few of you can see the forest for the trees, but some of you can, and I like you. The rest of you are sheep. This isn't a race thing this is a guy trying to please his girl who also craves the spotlight that shined on him briefly...before we all came to understand he's not a very good QB. Simple simple. Here endeth the lesson. |
C'mon Man...

Don't you think?![]()
So if I'm a sheep for trying to bring a little thought into a mindless finger pointing war, so be it. |
