Colin Kaepernick‘s arms are full of tattoos. This apparently ensures that the San Francisco quarterback can never be a legitimate hero for the NFL — or even the 49ers (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/san-francisco-49ers-qb-colin-kaepernick-tattoos-writer-column-paints-as-a-bad-guy-113012)
This is the impression given by AOL Fanhouse's David Whitley.
The columnist penned a controversial piece on Thursday centered entirely on Kaepernick’s ink.
“NFL quarterback is the ultimate position of influence and responsibility,” he writes. “He is the CEO of a high-profile organization, and you don’t want your CEO to look like he just got paroled.”
Whitley tried to cloak his criticisms underneath a disdain for tattoos.
Which is what he wrote about -- the tattoos. But, no! The other media chooses to interpret that criticism as ---- you guessed it -- RACISM.
And according to Kaepernick's adopted mother, the tattoos are bible verses.

He does look like he just got paroled.

"CEO of a high-profile organization"? Piss poor analogy that holds no water for the case Whitley is trying to make. Quarterbacks and CEOs have no parallel responsibilities or activities.
The question is not whether Quarterbacks are akin to CEOs and therefore should appear CEOish. The question is whether Quarterbacks are or are not role-models, and if so, what impact tattoos have on their ability to serve as such.
As for Whitley's critics charging racism, what else is new? I am so sick to death of Leftist pukes creating reasons to scream "racism" it makes me feel violent, and, truth be told, racist. Not that I have racism in my heart - I don't. But having half the country screaming that I am makes me extremely resentful of the people on whose behalf they scream. It feels like they will not be satisfied until I become what they say I am, so they can point the finger at me and say, "see!" Their accusations bring me ever closer to not giving a damn. Why shouldn't I collectively hate someone who so obviously collectively hates me?

Only one way to atone for your sins white man, and that's to stop existing.

Seems that about half of the White population agrees with that.

About twenty years ago I was walking down High St. at Ohio State University in Columbus , Oh . Ahead of me were a young girl and guy . She was wearing what appeared to be paisley tights but once I got closer at a crosswalk it became evident that what I thought were tights were actually tatoos completely covering both legs ( probably all the way up to her ass ... maybe farther ) . I recall thinking how she would live to regret doing that to herself . Now I'm not so sure . She probably has adolescents of her own now , tatooed from head to toe . Nothing surprises me anymore .

It's OK SH, some people are just more ahead the curve than others in reverting to tribal rituals. Soon, we'll all look alike, act alike, talk alike, ...

YES!
and that resentment is now called racism
