Serpico backs Kaepernick.

[Court Jester]

I’ve got no insecurities in that area. Hell, I have a black wife and we both think uneducated people are just funny. She doesn’t like Kaepernick either though. Maybe she’s racist. She does know though that the civil war had little to do with slavery.

Once again, making your sample a totality of a larger sample. 

So, and my X wife is Japanese but you don't see me making excuses for dropping bombs on Heroshima and Nagasaki. You don't see me making excuses for Japanese internment during the war. 

I don't care that you have a black wife. Kap is black too, and Thena here is black too. So why don't you have your black wife join and argue with Thena. 

If the Civil war had nothing to do with slavery then why did one side fight to keep it? THAT is fucking nonsense. 

IT MOST CERTAINLY WAS about slavery. The Whites of the South were SLAVE OWNERS. And the fact that we still have asshole KKK members today pointing to that history crying they are a superior race TODAY says to me the value of that horrible history is still here. 

"I don't do it" is a cop out. Nobody is saying you are responsible. But if your argument is "I didn't do it" or "I have a black wife", is bullshit. 

If there is group who needs to "get over it" it wouldn't  be blacks, it would be the fuckface assholes who want to defend icons to a horrible history.

Well, my wife if a bit more religious than me. I can hit her up though and see what she says.   

Just because a black football player gets cut from the team doesn’t mean that race was ever involved. The guy is a Castro supporter though. That can’t be winning him too many fans, and as previously stated; he does bring negative press along with him. You’ve still not proven that racism had a roll from any team either.

And back to the war…. They fought for equal representation in the federal government, which is why we now see the current numbers of representatives in the Congress and Senate. Slavery was a very late afterthought. They were absolutely not fighting for slavery until it just got added to the to-do list by Lincoln very late in the game.  

Parts of Delaware and Kentucky and all of Missouri were fighting for the Union and they kept their slaves after the war ended. There were actually quite a few slaves in the northern states, just not quite the population due to the larger agricultural sector of the south at the time. There were also some very prominent black slave owners in the south as well.

Shoot me you address man. I can mail you a history book if you’d like. I can try to find one with lots of pictures if that would help too.
