Kaepernick donates $25,000 to group honoring convicted cop-killer

[Wash Times] Colin Kaepernick started out taking a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality, but his activism has since expanded to encompass a wide range of leftist causes, including a group named after a convicted cop-killer.

The Colin Kaepernick Foundation donated in April $25,000 to Assata’s Daughters, a Chicago "direct action" resistance organization honoring Assata Shakur, who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after being found guilty in the 1973 murder of Officer Werner Foerster.

The grant includes $2,500 for CopWatch, a program that trains volunteers to follow and video police, and $15,000 for teen training, part of the group’s commitment to "develop and train young people, ages 4-19, in the Black queer feminist tradition and in the spirit of Assata."

Apparently Mr. Kaepernick is also a fan: He retweeted a July 16 message wishing Shakur a happy birthday.

The contribution came as part of Mr. Kaepernick’s pledge last year to donate $1 million over 10 months to "organizations working in oppressed communities."

#1 Let's be honest, shall we? It really isn't about the national anthem or the flag now is it ?

#2 25000? That's probably less than going up his nose every day.

#3 The contribution came as part of Mr. Kaepernick’s pledge last year to donate $1 million over 10 months to "organizations working in oppressed communities."

So, we have another 9-months of trolling to go?

And doesn't $1,000,000/10 = $100,000? Is Mr. Kaepernick's White-half privilege Virtue Signalling only humming along at 25% for the loverly Ms. Chesimard?

imo, Mr. Kaepernick has some serious mental health issues in addition to having problems resolving his DNA with his ROI.

#4 Something about donating money to entities that support Terrorism, is illegal?

#5 Kaepernick is in a relationship with an ethnic studies professor at Berserkley. She is fanatical to the degree that she makes Angela Davis look moderate.

I think has a lot to do with this relationship.

He's wake up one day and realized he pissed away his career and then he'll cut that laughable 1970's Afro and STFU.

#6 Well, look. Kaepernick is "just exercising his First Amendment rights." When you beg to differ, that's you being rayciss. Get it?
