In response to the US killing of Iranian Maj. General Qassem Soleimani, Kaepernick stated :
"There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism."
"America has always sanctioned and besieged Black and Brown bodies both at home and abroad. America militarism is the weapon wielded by American imperialism, to enforce its policing and plundering of the non white world."
Soleimani is known to be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans in Iraq and waves of terrorist attacks against Israel. Cmdr. Sean Robertson, a spokesman for the Defense Department, said "the casualties were the result of explosively formed penetrators, other improvised explosive devices, improvised rocket-assisted munitions, rockets, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, small-arms, sniper, and other attacks in Iraq." In 2011 he was designated a terrorist by the US.
Yet Kaepernick defends Soleimani because of the color of his skin. Whats clear is Colin Kaepernick, does not judge people on the basis of their actions. He judges them by their skin color.
