Former San Fransisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started an entire movement at a 2016 game after he famously kneeled during the national anthem in protest of police brutality. Four years later and the current climate in the United States is seemingly more divisive than ever. Shortly after the May police killing of 46-year-old Black man George Floyd, the country erupted with protests and shouts of “black lives matter” filled the streets.
In a sign of solidarity, Dr. Dre and Kaepernick took a ceremonious knee for Instagram. He shared the photo with his five million Instagram followers on Sunday (July 26), writing in the caption, “Defiant,” a nod to his HBO docu-series The Defiant Ones.
Unsurprisingly, Dre’s comment section lit up with reactions from his famous friends. DJ Jazzy Jeff offered a simple, “My brother,” while Busta Rhymes and producer Hi-Tek spoke using a series of crown and strong arm emojis.
But the post also drew some criticisms. Comments such as “do something with your money instead of just kneeling and posting pictures with washed up a football player who plays victim” and “Millionaires can’t talk about oppression. Kaepernick is a joke” were also prevalent, again demonstrating the divisiveness of American society.

Dre and Kaepernick have been in business together for several years; the football star had an endorsement deal with Beats by Dre beginning in 2013. According to TMZ Sports, Dre’s billion-dollar company just signed NASCAR’s only Black driver Bubba Wallace who made headlines recently when a noose was found in his garage at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway.
“No one should ever be asked to apologize for standing up for what’s right,” the company said after signing Wallace earlier this month. “We are proud to welcome @bubbawallace to the Beats by Dr. Dre family.”
Meanwhile, Kaepernick is dead set on getting back into the National Football League. He’s reportedly been training for months.
Lol the failed quarterback made sure he wore the emblem of his handlers….slave labor Nike. What a fraud that dude is. I never thought I’d see the day when American men are on their knees bowing to the Marxist communists.
You think this is about communism? This is an act to bring the brutality of police toward the black community. Go get your facts straight, man…this is why America is so divided….we are listening to some “hype” in a media that we think cares about our ideals…listen to facts my man
BLM co-founders have themselves admitted that they are TRAINED MARXISTS.
Marxist=communist
Dre made a fool a himself.
Kap lives in a 10 million dollar mansion surrounded by white multimillionaire neighbors and Kap still gets paid tens of millions by Nike so Kap is not even interested in playing.
Kap originally stated that kneeling was meant to protest USA as a country.
BLM is a LGBTQ movement since co-founders are lesbians and queers in addition to being marxists and BLM website even calls supporters COMRADES so Dr. Dre is now COMRADE Dre.
The recent rise in Covid infections is due to BLM protests every day for months and after BLM protsts instigated attacks against police and Democrats started doing stuff BLM demands like defunding police departments shootings in cities have risen 300% in many cities compared to June and July of last year.
Go back to trolling.
There’s nothing defiant and following the crowd and agreeing with every corporate media talking head and every large company in the country that has released a statement expressing solidarity with the movement. Call it what you want, but there’s nothing anti-establishment about this movement or the act of kneeling.
Dre is an embarrassment and I hope when he needs police they will tell them “sorry, we can not send anybody since BLM demanded police to be defunded and Democrats defunded police after people like you and Kap supported BLM, maybe call Democrats or BLM offices for help”
I don’t get it. Is nniiggaass is gonna be doing this for many more decades to come or what? What’s the point of them kneeling? What is it helping? What message are they trying to put out there different from the message that most Americans already know? We get it, racism is bad. Police brutality is bad. The only thing that kneeling does is maintain unnecessary division in our country, which is what they (wealthy society controllers) want. Give it up for these rich and wealthy athletes and rappers for sowing division in our country.
When you dont komply with the bullshit you get exiled quik
Dre must be ignorant to know what he is supporting by supporting Kap and BLM or then Dre knows and wants Marxists to get power and take all money away from rich people Venezuela style.
Uh yeah fake bloods get exiled quick too
Facts:
The whole premise and claim of BLM that police shoot more black people is a LIE.
Police shoot more unarmed white people despite blacks committing about 50% of the violent crimes in USA so the demographics based stat that blacks are 2.5 times more likely to get shot by police is BS since when one 13% group commits about 50% of violent crimes obviously one needs to count the stats from that 50% and not 13%
In 2019 police shot 9 unarmed blacks guys and 19 unarmed white guys.
Out of those 9 “unarmed” black guys most were attacking police either with a car or taser or had tackled a female police officer into the ground and were on top of her hitting her violently.
One black dude who was shot as “unarmed” had a history of shootouts with police and claimed that he has lots of guns in his house and threatened to shoot and kill all the police around his house after which police shot him and found out there was no guns this time so he ended up in stats as “unarmed” person shot.
I’m sorry but that’s just not true. Black people are more at risk for being shot by cops. A lot to do with that is not so much racism, but an implicit bias and firing of the amygdala that results in pulling the trigger too soon.
Blacks commit about 50% of violent crimes in USA despite being only 13% of the population and police has to deal with these criminals.
Many blacks have an attitude that cops are an enemy from the start so the interactions have a higher probability of going worse based from that and on top of that most police officers killed in USA are killed by black criminals and simple traffic stop can lead to the police officer being shot so police officers are already a bit more scared and throw in a hip hop music that is glamorizing shooting and killing and gangsta lifestyle and drug dealing and drug use and going to prison and that many blacks consider being “REAL” when in reality it is liberal brainwashing designed to destroy black communities.
Despite all this WHITE unarmed people are MORE LIKELY to be shot by cops than black people according to statistics where one looks at the amount of violent crimes groups commit instead of looking at the demographics since if a group of 13% commits about 50% of violent crimes they should be about half of the people shot by police just based on probabilities but still police shot in 2019 just 9 black unarmed men while shooting 19 white unarmed men.
The whole premise and claims of BLM are LIES and memory of George Floyd and Breanna Taylor are being abused by BLM to achieve political ends namely more chaos that the TRAINED MARXISTS of BLM want and more people hating USA.
BLM is like an operation of Putin to destroy USA but in reality BLM is an operation funded by George Soros to destroy USa and get globalists and corruptocrats like Joe Biden and Democrats in power by intentianally destroying USA based on LIES until the 2020 election.
Loser
Here comes all the “I’m not racist” white boys who like rap…”I like rap….they black guys who make it…not so much. They day you weirdos live your actual racist truth will be a day that NEVER comes due to being historically cowardly in race situation and never just admitting what we already know. That ALL WHITES think WHITES ARE SUPERIOR and EVERYONE is inferior to them.
Sausage of the silly variety, sleep well.
