Many of our European (White) accomplices may not understand this much because this is in house cultural struggle between the African community and former basketball player Shaquille O'Neal. This guy went on FOX News and criticized Colin Kaepernick's bold protest against the U.S. national anthem. And, there are other sorry excuses for human beings who are doing the same. Former player Ray Lewis is one of them, but before we focus exclusively on O'Neal, let's put all of these boot-lickers in the proper historical perspective. And, we do that of course by referring to our political and cultural ideologue - Malcolm X. During the early 1960s, Malcolm emerged as the new, militant voice for African people. His analysis, unlike that being presented by "establishment" people like Roy Wilkins of the NAACP or Whitney Young of the Urban League, cut through the lies and propaganda and exposed America for what it actually is - the terrorist empire that it has been since its colonialist inception. When Malcolm began to gain traction among African people with his hard hitting analysis, the capitalist power structure used the strategy of recruiting "establishment negroes" to criticize Malcolm. They used Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, Wilkins, and Young. And all of them were more than happy to bite when the master said bite. Notice that I didn't say Dr. Martin Luther King because King was a principled man who never attacked anyone. Even though Malcolm was unwittingly attacking King all the time, but those others, they were always ready to be told to bear their teeth at Malcolm. And, in response to that phenomenon, Malcolm talked about how "whenever a Black man stands up and defends his people, the white man immediately starts searching for some uncle tom to sic on him." We are seeing this today with Colin Kaepernick. Rather than address the commonly acknowledged legitimacy of Kaeps concerns, the concerns of millions of people across the world, the capitalist power structure instead engages in a game of bait and switch. And one of their consistent tactics is to find that "negro" who will attack someone like Kaepernick for them. In 2016, that negro is Shaquille O'Neal.
O'Neal is their perfect boy. He has always made his love for the police known. He has bragged about his desire to become a police officer and he has even initiated his training process by being accused of excessive force and assault while accompanying Los Angeles police on a ride a long. During his interview on FOX, O'Neal stated his disagreement with Kaepernick "because my family has a long history of military and police service." Unlike most other people, you won't find any military apologies on this site. In fact, I'm still waiting for anyone anywhere to explain to me how U.S. troops fighting anywhere they are fighting or have fought has done anything to free African people. In case some of you flunked history, America was a segregated country leading up through the Vietnam war in the 60s. That meant Africans were expected to fight for America - which we unfortunately did - in World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, without even having rights as citizens in this country. Even the tired narrative that somebody was fighting for freedom for people in the country they invaded obviously makes little sense. Please show us where the people of Afghanistan or Iraq have gained anything from being invaded by the U.S. I doubt the women of Afghanistan would agree with that statement. They had education and more rights in the 70s then they ever had before or since the U.S. supported the overthrow of the Soviet backed regime there in the 1970s. Today with the Taliban, it would be very difficult for any of you military hawks to convince Afghan women that they are better off, thanks to you. And, clearly the African masses have received nothing from these wars and nor have the masses of white people. Actually, the only true benefactors are the rich corporations who manufacture weapons and the assorted industries of destruction that capitalize off of war. These facts are ill refutable so PLEASE. STOP SAYING THE U.S. MILITARY FIGHTS FOR OUR FREEDOMS! You continue to sound and look stupid like the tool that you are when you parrot that propaganda line like you don't have the capacity to think for yourself. And Shaq, stop talking about things you know nothing about. Aren't you smart enough to realize those Europeans are just using you to make our people look dis-unified? Why else would FOX have you on there? Think about that and why you are at it, think about how you can stop clowning and being a 7 foot buffoon for white America while you're at it. Its 2016. Its long past time to stop being cheap entertainment for white people, allowing yourself to be sicc'ed on whatever African they want to be discredited. If we want basketball tips e.g. how to perfect a drop step move, then we'll come to you Shaq. Otherwise, leave the grown up issues to adults because you have absolutely no understanding of why Kaepernick is doing what he's doing.
Today, the ignorance and carelessness of people like O'Neal can prosper because the African liberation movement is weak. One day we will advance to the point of organization where people who disrespect and dishonor our community by selling out to our enemies as O'Neal is doing will pay a serious price. We will shut down your ability to profit off of our suffering and when we do that, it will teach people like you to respect us as a community. Standing side by side with one another, although O'Neal is almost a foot taller, Kaepernick towers head and shoulders above him in character and integrity.
