Colin Kaepernick Calls Out Hypocrisy In NFL's Racial Justice 'Propaganda'

The ex-NFL quarterback said the league is engaged in performative activism while no team signs fellow protester and free agent Eric Reid.

The activist and ex-San Francisco 49ers quarterback used the opening weekend of pro games to say that the NFL participates in what he considers performative activism for racial justice, given that safety Eric Reid remains unsigned.

Reid is an NFL free agent who proudly joined then-teammate and longtime friend Kaepernick in the 2016 protest that got the quarterback stonewalled from playing in the league, which has a long, troubled history confronting racism.

“While the NFL runs propaganda about how they care about Black Life, they are still actively blackballing Eric Reid … for fighting for the Black community,” Kaepernick tweeted. “Eric set 2 franchise records last year, and is one of the best defensive players in the league.”

If a day comes that I feel like we’ve addressed those issues, and our people aren’t being discriminated against or being killed over traffic violations, then I’ll decide it’s time to stop protesting. I haven’t seen that happen.  We’ve got to keep agitating. Got to keep making sure that we put pressure on the people who make the laws, and the decisions, in this country. It feels like we’re going backwards. You’d like to think we’re past certain things, the way we treat people. I thought we were at a time where you love your neighbor as yourself. But as I’ve studied history -- it hasn’t repeated itself necessarily, but it’s dressed a little different and is acting the same.
