Complaining about racism that exists? That seems like something worthy of complaining about.

Obviously this stuff is hard for you to understand since you are not American and get your information about this place from suspect sources or your brief visits.

Cool, sounds like you ran out of an argument and are just shouting embarrassing things again. Good luck lil buddy.

How many owners, coaches and front office people are black? No player has been talented enough to make the NBA but cut because they were white.

At the risk of repeating myself, the shirt Kaepernick wore was not a Castro shirt or a shirt celebrating the life and career of Castro. It was a Malcolm X meets with Castro in Harlem shirt.

The meeting was in 1960, shortly after the Cuban revolution and before Castro went on to commit the worst of his crimes. At the meeting Castro spoke out against black oppression, this was four years before the Civil Rights Act and still a year before the last documented lynching in the United States, so it should be easy to understand why he was warmly received in Harlem and why the meeting with Malcolm X is still seen as iconic to many in the black community. It had nothing to do with communism. Castro didn’t declare himself a Marxist/Leninist until more that a year later in December 1961.

Kaepernick understood the story behind the meeting depicted on his shirt much better than those who keep repeating the stupid canard that it had anything to do with communism. To Kaepernick the shirt illustrated that more than fifty years ago Malcolm X was inviting foreign leaders to Harlem to speak out against black oppression and yet it still continues, to the extent that he wanted to do his own small part by sitting down while others stand.

How does a "Look, Malcolm X invited this piece of **** to speak on behalf of us before he became a piece of ****" shirt looks good on Kaepernick or on anybody for that matter?

Most people in the U.S. saw Castro as a hero before he went with the Soviets instead of the U.S..

The U.S. would have gladly taken him on as an ally after the revolution, and they would have painted him as every bit a hero and you would be sitting here calling him a freedom fighter right now instead of a piece of ****.

tl;dr before people in the U.S. hated Castro they loved him

Nah, its easy to prove him wrong and I know for a fact that people read what he writes and sometimes agree with the bad information he posts. There are many more people who read and post on here that agree with him. It gives a good opportunity to show the other side. It also strengthens my argument when he is the one on the other side, so it makes it easier to convince people. I also dont think he is an idiot.

He could have been America's sweetheart and Jimmy Stewart's girlfriend for all I care, but that doesn't exempt him of what he did later in Cuba, and doesn't justify people sporting shirts featuring him in 2017.

Pinochet's coup in Chile was largely supported by the local population, he even received the U.S. stamp of approval and plenty of C.I.A. support, is it OK to sport shirts with his face now?

I think you have defined that plenty of times. We all get it, its your schtick to call everyone an idiot while pretending to be one on the board, very funny.

Is it okay to wear shirts of presidents of the USA that have done terrible things? Is it okay to celebrate US even though it has committed awful acts? I think so. It is all relative.

His shirt was not of just fidel. It was of a meaningful event in US history.

I wont defend Castro because he did awful things but we also celebrate others it just depends on the situation. Nelson Mandela for example is celebrated as a hero for the great things he did. But many people ignore the fact that he orchestrated bombings that killed innocent people. It can be perspective sometimes. Castro did do some good things in his life along with some terrible things.
