Donald Trump delivered a 90-minute speech in Alabama on Friday (September 22), which was reportedly in support of Senator Luther Strange who faces an upcoming primary election on Tuesday (September 26). Things took a left turn when Trump took aim at the National Football league and brought up NFL player/activist Colin Kaepernick.
At one point, he referred to Kaepernick as “son of a bitch.”
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘get that son of a bitch off the field right now?,'” Trump said. “‘Out. He’s fired. He’s fired!'”
Twitter erupted with reactions to Trump’s remarks and many stood in solidarity with Kaepernick, who famously took a knee during the National Anthem during an August 2016 game against the Green Bay Packers.
Kaepernick’s mother, Teresa Kaepernick, also chimed in, writing, “Guess that makes me a proud bitch.”
Diddy, J-Live, El-P, Killer Mike, Ice-T, The Roots’ Black Thought and Questlove, Russell Simmons, Immortal Technique, and Talib Kweli, among others, took to social media to express their outrage on Trump’s comment.
Check out their reactions below.
Fuck The Cops And Fuck Donald Trump
So some cops are racist murderers so that makes all cops racist murderers. By that logic, all blacks are gangbangers/drug dealers/deadbeat fathers, etc. Fuck off.
You forgot to say the “Fuck you and good night!!” part to him
You forgot to say the “Fuck you and good night!!” part to him
FUCK WHITE PEOPLE!
If only Lil Yachty actually said anything half as important as that, the world would be a better place
That’s a direct quote from Lil Yachty on the song “Marmalade”
Hahahahaha Melle Mel just got owned harder than when he tried to diss Kendrick.
Lol take it easy on him, he’s old and bitter. However, Lil Yachty is wack as fuck.
“Trump referred to any NFL player who protests racism and police violence as a “son of a bitch’ who should be fired”
Love how people try to flip it to bash Trump. Not a fan of trump but stay in reality motherf*ckers. He never said anything about police violence or racism. He just called him out for disrepecting the flag.
Do you know why NFL players are kneeling during the national anthem?
What has cops killing people to do with the National Anthem and how does it help to stop???
It’s a form of peaceful protest. It helps because now everyone is talking about it and it’s making national headlines
AGAIN!!!!! What has disrespecting the Flag and the Country to do with protesting against cops. You can do that without being ignorant c*nt. The Flag nor the Country or the Anthem has anything to do with cops. You could also kill cats and say its a protest against cop violence.
Killing cats would not be a peaceful protest. I can see critical thinking is difficult for you. Have a nice life of ignorance
Damn mmotherfuckers as illiterate and dumb as this bafoon.’DisrespectiDisrespecting the flag’ really? Dotard Trump dodged the draft, how do those who served Vietnam feel?
Hiphopdx you do not represent the people neither does BLM….tables have turned you guys claim to be the majority are now the minority and you guys can’t stand that or come grips with it!!!
I’ve never seen someone take a beating from the media the way trump does – what country lies to their people more than the USA?
It’s just football.
Of course its not JUST football. It’s a multi billion dollar industry It’s also about RACISM and the history of your country. It’s about your white supremacist president. It’s about socio-economic division and inequality. Everything is political whether you want it to be or not.
But at the same time it is also my country and my white supremacist president.
the president is a fucking racist, what a surprise!
Such a classless, disrespectful POS! When, in the history of the United States, has a president called somebody a SOB in a speech? When?! We can ALL agree to disagree, but this f*cking pig publicly disrespects anything and everything in his path! Not to mention his POS followers in the crowd clapping it up?! The f*ck is wrong with people? F**k whoever voted for this, racist, chauvinistic a**hole into office. This is SO embarrassing!
How is he racist?
It’s just a fuckin game grown ass men play.. Who gives a fuck.
You Go to work and slave so you play a game to!
That makes no sense…
Every NFL player should take a knee for the rest of the season just to show him how much of an idiot he is
Trump is right about that, nobody has the right to disrespect any countrys national anthem.
Your national anthem is a song…it means only what you want it to mean…the stars and stripes likewise….your constitution (i.e. something literally spelling shit out in terms of rights says people have the right to free speech. Your President is a racist, misogynist, xenophobic, ableist dullard who represents the dark and twisted culmination of hundreds of years of delusions of grandeur. You are not very clever or informed and need to take a good look in the mirror. Educate yourself. Open your mind. Hip Hop was born out of protest.
Trump is racist? Please elaborate
Son of a bitch
Agent. Gtfoh
Sorry to the world he was in my home state when he said that
how about you guys don’t vote for him next time
Kneeling on Needles by Lupe Fiasco 7
The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked on Trump’s sorry ass.
Hes not in the NFL anymore… Trump is trying to discourage further unpatriotic and disrespectful acts. And he is being condemned once again for no reason, except that he loves the USA and the men and women who fight and have fought for this country. Just like after Charlottesville when Trump condemned all hate and violence, the media and the celebrities start going crazy. The media coup is real… dont let giant corporations or over privileged celebrities tell you how to think or act.
Agent. Gtfoh.
I think the people have spoken…. kap is no longer an nfl player and the attendance/viewership of the NFL games are way down. Hollywood and the entertainment industry have taken a major hit as more and more of the people start to realize our country is more important than sporting events and elitist celebrity opinion. The anti Trump/America propaganda has grown so widespread, major news outlets are not even relevant anymore. More than ever in the last 50 years the people are starting to awaken and take pride in their country again. Thank you President Trump. America First! #MAGA #Trump2020 #Trump2024 #Trump2028
I know you are a russian bot because if you were American you would know presidents can only serve a maximum of two terms. How the fuck is trump going to run in 2024 and 2028?? LOL
There is nothing disrespectful about kneeling. We kneel when we propose, when we pray, when we remember a fallen comrade. They are protesting in a respectful manner. They are not attacking the flag or the anthem but want to draw attention to the injustice perpetrated against black people in the nation, but Trump doesn’t want that cause it means their voices count, and that’s what scares him.
Man I see what he was doing and I think you gotta respect that he was standing up for something, but dude… how many players on his team were like wtf is this guy doing? I know it’s bigger then football obviously and these issues superseed any form of entertainment but there was a game about to be played and that’s what people were focused on, when he did that he took his platform and threw it out the window. I think he for sure accomplished something I mean we are still talking about him… but I feel like there was a better way to use what he had, and as for nobody signing him, who would want there back up a quarter back to be someone who the media is going to flock of constantly? He MADE NFL GM’s have absolutely no reason to sign him. Clearly he made an impact but it’s as big as it’s ever going to be. I personally feel as an NFL player he had better ways to do this, especially since it’s clear to me he was willing to throw away his career for it.
What are these people doing about black on black violence? White on black violence is a fraction of a percent of the homicides and violent crimes committed against blacks.
The majority of crimes are committed by a person of the same race as the victim so that comment you made is useless. The problem is that unarmed black ppl, including ones following orders, are being shot and killed by cops who are unprepared and then the cops are still getting off. How are almost no cops getting convicted? How does the president try to turn the nation against the oppressed when it’s he who is supposed to represent the entire country? So yeah, gotta stop black on black crime, as well as white on white and Latino on Latino. Problem is that the percentage of crimes solved in black and Latino neighborhoods are lower than in white neighborhoods, but I guess that’s a coincidence because police and the government care about everyone equally right? GTFOH
Hiphopdx is censoring comments that might trigger all the butthurt, so you gotta do a little research…. the percentage per capita of unarmed whites killed by police is much higher than blacks killed by police in relation to the overall population of each said race. Damn…
Don’t forget about the numbers when comparing different races with crime statistics. Although a much lower percent of the population, blacks commit 46% of all violent crimes in the USA…
The HHDX members of “staff” that deletes comments; that people go out of their way to post on this website, are: son’s of bitches!
The core of Donald Trump supporters are poor uneducated whites whom he deliver this rhetoric to they are also the same ones he really doesn’t care for by attempting to do away with the Affordable Care Act in which they benefit the most off of, Trump is a CANCER on the United States of America
Whites aren’t the only supporters of trump…
Misanthropy comes in all colors
Do not lower yourself to his level. You must be better than him. We have to be patient he’ll be gone soon enough. We have survived bigger threats than this. One love!
It’s a free country. You are also free to boycott their games if you disagree. Man up Trump
Hes also free to criticize the unpatriotic acts of athletes and celebrities #MAGA
Errata below: Motherfuckers (trump supporters) are as illiterate and dumb as he is. Kap and others disrespecting the flag? Really? I wonder how Vietnam vets feel about this draft dodger?
listening to rapaport rant kills brain cells… at least spell kaepernick right.
You guys seriously… this was a molehill a minute ago.. no one wants children to be shot by police or anyone. People keep racism and disunity alive with these useless battles of opinion.
Not one of these anti trump/america snowflakes can even give an example of how trump is a racist. Hiphopdx and Cheri Media will censor/delete pro-america comments and yet the mentally ill anti-trumpers are allowed to run wild, but can’t support their argument with any facts 🙁
Implying an American judge of Mexican descent would be biased because of his race, not renting to black ppl, saying Mexico is sending rapists and drug dealers, removing black card dealers from their tables if a big gambler didn’t want him, leading the birther movement with no evidence other than Obama being black, being cool with the KKK supporting him and thus not shitting on them when they come out with tiki torches a year later, assuming that the wife of a Muslim who’s son was killed fighting for the USA couldn’t speak to the media because of her religion. I’m sure we could find a lot more. You are a clown. Good day.
I dont get the first reference, wheres the news article? you are misquoting his statement on the illegal immigration from mexico, and the rest of the stuff you bring up sounds like your own uneducated opinion. President Trump has denounced the KKK numerous times prior to and after the election and was endorsed by Louis Farrakahn…. Are there facts to support what you claim he has done or said? The mainsteam new loves to contort and cherry pick, which sounds like what you are doing here sir. Again i ask for facts or ACTUAL QUOTES, not biased paraphrasing or opinion to suggest racism.
The Justice Department sued his company ― twice ― for not renting to black people
Sounds like the actions of a single building superintendent who may in fact have been acting on personal racial bias. I don’t think the actions of an individual defecting to upper management’s (not endorsed btw) policy. Guilt was never admitted by management, but a settlement was made to protect the company from the building super’s actions. Do we dare dig into the Clinton foundations actions/policy or the Sander’s policy?
Donald Trump echoes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” These cry babies can’t stand it 😀
He said federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel wouldn’t give him a fair trial because Curiel is Mexican. That’s pretty much the textbook definition of racist
He is explaining facts and how they might attribute to bias, that makes someone racist? Just think about that rational and what you are trying to say… In my opinion, pointing out someone’s race and how that might affect their bias or judgement doesn’t make someone racist. There is more involved than race with this here lol.
You are now defending racism, that didn’t take long
what racism do you speak of?
Your previous comment
I’m surprised you’re not dizzy from all that spinning
There are multiple instances over many decades of his behavior. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it’s Donald fucking Duck. You can keep excusing his behavior. The rest of us aren’t so blind.
over many decades? let’s hear the most recent. not that i am saying a complaint constitutes labeling a person as racist, but I am interested, lets hear it.
Attempted Muslim ban was fairly recent. Deemed unconstitutional and racially motivated by the courts. They even looked at his own tweets to come to that decision
First off what race are Muslims? I assume you are referring to the travel ban from seven Muslim countries that do not cooperate with the United States visa/travel program? There is no vetting from these countries and allow anyone to travel, they do not cooperate with the UN or USA in regards to background checks regarding travel. If I was president, I would not want undocumented/vetted people coming from countries with high terrorist activity into my country.
Agent of misinformation get em the F outta here
Hip hop getting upset about that b-word comment is comical and the height of hypocrisy. If anyone wants to protest, they should do it when they get off work. This fake victimization with cherrypicked comments from donald dump has shifted the energy away from corrupt cops towards this foolishness.
HHDX deleting comments that will dead some of the arguments below. seems like they trying to keep the ignorance around enough to get more clicks and comments. F*** these guys. And F*** Trump, but that’s a given.
For examples of Trumps racism see the following:
1. The topic of this article you imbeciles
2. PBS article: Every moment in Donald Trump’s long and complicated history with race
3. Intercept article: Donald Trump Has Been a Racist All His Life — And He Isn’t Going to Change After Charlottesville
4. Huff Post article: Trump Condemned Racism As ‘Evil.’ Here Are 16 Times He Embraced It.
5. Fortune article: Is Donald Trump Racist? Here’s What the Record Shows
6. Axios article: Trump’s history of racial controversies
Thats just a few.

These liberal op-ed pieces have converted me into a never Trumper! In fact now I am a Hillary supporter, she was never mentored by a devout kkk member, she never killed any innocent people, she never embezzled money from her foundation, she never recieved personal interest donations from politicians trying to curry favor, she never broke the law and tried to cover up any scandals. Wait better yet I am a Bernie supporter, socialism and communism have always led to tolerant, economically sound, and free society. The people of Venezuela haven’t been forced to eat their pets and zoo animals because of a food crisis, North Korea looks like a great place to travel, Russia thrived under the kind and generous manners of their leaders Lenin and Stalin. Chairman Mao seemed like a great dude, kinda guy I would like to get a beer with like Obama. I love the washington post also, i don’t think there is anything wrong with a multi billionaire (recently named the richest person for a brief period when his company’s stock peaked) owner of the biggest retailer today to own a media outlet that manipulates news to better their interest.
As usual, when you can’t defend trump on a topic, you resort to bashing democrats. It’s sad really
hey hiphopdx won’t let you post comments related to j*o*b*s* and the national d*e*b*t. We got three and half years brother, get a j*o*b* and stick with it. There may not be another j*o*b*s president like Trump for a long time.
Well i don’t think stating facts about just a few of Hillary Clinton’s crimes should be considered bashing. However yes bashing socialism and communism.
Did we forget this all started under the obama regime? Its getting tough to watch these multi-millionaire athletes cry oppression in the name of equality in America…This has been tough to watch as my minority brethren have suffered for the last twenty years and have not resorted to anti-America propaganda.
