this is why you lost.
you're always wanting affirmative action, or explicit racial preferences.

Libs are racists? Only black president, only black VP. Only black woman nominated for POTUS. While trump ignored all the blacks he sucked up to before this election. Only white billionaires apply......Calling libs racist is like calling Trump decent, stable and smart. lmao
Why not? Something wrong with Norwegians? You don't think tens of millions of unassimilated third worlders is enough? Never mind they're vastly over-represented already and don't bother to come in legally.
So we see how the libs are actually the racists.
Definitely a fact.
Half black, and Indian.
Thanks for confirming MAGA morons generally want to end legal immigration from 'shithole' countries and only let white Europeans immigrate.
A couple of your MAGA buddies were nervously trying to deny MAGA has a racist immigration policy.
DEmocrats are literally non-existent without racist gimmicks. You're even losing black and latino votes, having already lost genuine liberals and blue collar whites a long time ago, with your neo-nazi 'super-delegate vote' scams. You Blue Nazis are merely a blip in history now.

What's the alternative facts, Phan? My only mistake was believing that he was raised in Wisconsin, not in California as noted below. Regardless, he was raised in a middle-class Euro-American culture.
Colin Kaepernick - Wikipedia
Kaepernick lived in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, until age four, when his family moved to California.[22][23] When he was eight years old, Kaepernick began playing youth football as a defensive end and punter. At age nine, he was the starting quarterback on his youth team, and he completed his first pass for a long touchdown.[22] A 4.0 GPA student[24] at John H. Pitman High School in Turlock, California, Kaepernick played football, basketball and baseball and was nominated for all-state selection in all three sports his senior year.[25] In his senior year, he was the most valuable player (MVP) of the Central California Conference in football.[26][27] In basketball, he was a first-team All-CCC selection at forward and led his 16th-ranked team to a near upset of No. 1-ranked Oak Ridge High School in the opening round of the playoffs. In that game, Kaepernick scored 34 points, but future NBA player Ryan Anderson of Oak Ridge scored 50 points to lead his team to a victory.

You seem to think he only became black at the moment he kneeled. He embraced his blackness when he was a teenager. He was adopted into his environment, but identified as black at an early age.What's the alternative facts, Phan? My only mistake was believing that he was raised in Wisconsin, not in California as noted below. Regardless, he was raised in a middle-class Euro-American culture.
Kaepernick was born in 1987 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to 19-year-old Heidi Russo, who is a white American.[13][14] His birth father, who is a black American (of Ghanaian, Nigerian, and Ivorian ancestry) and whose identity is unknown,[15] separated from Russo before Kaepernick was born.[16][17][18] Russo placed Kaepernick up for adoption and at 5 weeks old he was placed with a white couple named Rick and Teresa Kaepernick.[19] The couple had two biological children: son Kyle and daughter Devon. The Kaepernicks decided to adopt a boy after losing two other sons to heart defects.[16][20][21]Colin Kaepernick - Wikipedia

He was someone that I looked up to, and I saw him be so unapologetically Black and unapologetically himself. It was something I aspired to, and I looked at that as an opportunity for me to be able to really take hold of my blackness and do it in a way that I was proud of and I was excited about.Mar 8, 2023

If you were more rational and better educated, you'd realize it's in the Constitution to conduct a census. Do you believe it should only be body count, Fredo? Not income, sex, number of kids, culture, etc?
Why did the Founders think a census was necessary? Should Congress amend our Constitution to remove the clauses pertaining to a census?
While modern science has proved there's no such thing as "race", clearly there are various cultures existing within the United States of America. Those cultures should be counted in the census and on government forms.
Census in the Constitution
The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States. It is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and takes place every 10 years.
www.census.gov
...It is constitutional to include questions in the decennial census beyond those concerning a simple count of the number of people. On numerous occasions, the courts have said the Constitution gives Congress the authority to collect statistics in the census. As early as 1870, the Supreme Court characterized as unquestionable the power of Congress to require both an enumeration and the collection of statistics in the census. The Legal Tender Cases, Tex.1870; 12 Wall., U.S., 457, 536, 20 L.Ed. 287. In 1901, a District Court said the Constitution's census clause (Art. 1, Sec. 2, Clause 3) is not limited to a headcount of the population and "does not prohibit the gathering of other statistics, if 'necessary and proper,' for the intelligent exercise of other powers enumerated in the constitution, and in such case there could be no objection to acquiring this information through the same machinery by which the population is enumerated." United States v. Moriarity, 106 F. 886, 891 (S.D.N.Y.1901).
He, like myself, wants equality.

No, Phan. As with most human behavior, I'm certain it was a progression as your link points out. One way to note that progression is the change in his hairstyles, dress and friends over time.
Do you agree with the MAGAts that race exists despite the science proving it doesn't or do you agree that being "Black" or "white" is a matter of culture?
If after I was born and adopted by a family in South Korea, would I grow up to have Euro-American cultural values or South Korean values? If as an adult, I chose to become "unapologetically White", is that a choice or would I be genetically driven to it?
When you support Colin becoming "unapologetically Black and unapologetically himself", do you equally support those who become "unapologetically white and unapologetically themselves" or do you think such people are racist assholes?

There's the equality vs. equity thing, but I think there is an inherent wrongness to holding a person down as sometimes seems to be the case.
An example is not giving a promotion to most qualified person and giving it someone lesser qualified in the name of "equality". The same goes to hiring practices. If those things don't happen, then I'm good with it.

And this one also supports a party that abides by all the racist intentions of their BLM, antifa, CRT and DEI.

Wow, finally a sensible answer to this absurd notion that LEFTISTS believe in EQUITY over Equality. Does this
mean that you are against Affirmative Action (Equity) in the race selection for employment and or for schools of higher
education?
Why don't you call out the bigoted racist fuckwit who started this thread, coward?
So, you know Colin better than Colin knows himself. You just have hard time admitting when you’ve made a mistake.
He embraced his blackness when he was a teenager. Every human grows into their identity as they age, or should.
