Fox News host -- "he was adopted by two white parents"

[underpants]

“This country that he doesn’t respect by sitting during the national anthem has afforded him an opportunity in life that I don’t know many other countries that would,” Theismann opined.

“And let’s be honest,” Kilmeade said, “he was adopted by two white parents, he was well supported.”

“I don’t know what is in his experience that could be so negative,” the host added. “But let’s start from the place, we all love the country and let’s try to make it better.”


Raw Story

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Everybody knows that only white people actually love America.

If you don't stand for the national anthem it means you don't love America. White people standing for the national anthem is proof that they love America.



Is Brian Kilmeade actually the dumbest guy on Fox? I know there's a lot of competition.

11. Yes, I think the Doocy is pretty freakin slow ... not the brightest one on TV right now

[BeyondGeography]

2. The same people who don't even report on GOP attempts to disenfranchise black voters

Trying to make it better by making elections safe for white guys who've got nothing to offer. Stfu.

[major debacle]

3. Change the national anthem to "This Land Is Your Land"

Problem solved.

5. There is something kinda Nazi-like about having to say the pledge.

The "under god" part really bothers me.

6. "We all love the country and let’s try to make it better."

Make it better through their implied white supremacy? Good grief!!!

7. So was Colin beng politicaaly incorrect? or does this apply only ro symbols and ideas that

the RW approves of? Hypocdites
Every one of them.

8. This man is trying to make America better!

He is sacrificing endorsement opportunities for his stance because he can draw attention to an issue they keep trying to sweep under the rug. When you have the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court state that there is no racism and removes certain key provisions of the Voting Rights Act then obviously a point needs to be made that racism is alive and well.

Obama's presidency, the Trump candidacy, and the countless videos of unarmed black men being shot by police still have not made much difference in how our government and our country deal with racism.

I applaud this athlete's bravery and commitment!!!

9. for god's sake it is a SONG

bunch of fake patriots...it is a SONG. Not a human being. How's about we respect our brothers and sisters and forget about outward symbols like flags and songs....right wing crap.

10. Typical conservative BS.

Why does it matter if he doesn't stand up during the national anthem?

It means about as much as someone wearing a flag lapel or using the term "freedom fries" because some French expressed doubts about Dumbya's idiotic invasion of Iraq.

Why is it news? And what does his adoptive parents have to do with anything? Did they sprinkle some magical SUPERFICIAL patriot dust on him because of their skin color?

13. Only white parents could offer good support!

He needs to be thankful he wasn't raised by black parents.

12. How ironic. Someone who played for the Washington NFL team said something racist.

Some goon actually barfed up that line on a very liberal friend's FB page!

14. Fox can't feel empathy so they don't understand how privileged man can feel empathy for less privile
