In response to Michael Vick’s respectability politics belief that Colin Kaepernick should cut his afro down in order to appease white NFL owners, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback tweeted a simple message.
He spelled out the term “Stockholm Syndrome” which is the is defined as “feelings of trust or affection felt in certain cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor.” Guess that captor he is referring to is white supremacy.
Blooooop!
Bloooooop!
Vick’s comments were in response to his beliefs as to why the former 49ers quarterback has been blackballed:
“First thing we’ve got to get Colin to do is cut his hair. Listen, I’m not up here to try to be politically correct. Even if he puts cornrows in there. I don’t think he should represent himself in that way in terms of just the hairstyle. Just go clean-cut. You know, why not? You’re already dealing with a lot of controversy surrounding this issue. The most important thing that he needs to do is just try to be presentable.”
As previously reported, last August Kaepernick became a symbol of the resistance when during a pre-season game with the Green Bay Packers, the Niners quarterback refused to stand for the national anthem.
When asked “why,” the he replied: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
“This is not something that I am going to run by anybody I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed… If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right,” Kaepernick added.
Since then, it’s believed that the free agent has been blackballed from the NFL, as no other team has picked him up yet. Sadly, this is the price people have to pay when they have the audacity to stand up for what they believe.
