To say that in response to a legitimate question for @JourdanRodrigue is so backwards and disrespectful to her and to women

Anti-racism strategist and possible parody account mastermind Tariq Nasheed is upset, however, that some people are taking all of the fake outrage of Newton’s comment seriously, when really it’s just a ruse to deflect from the NFL’s blackballing of Colin Kaepernick.
The fake outrage over Cam Newton basically saying the word "female", is an attempt to deflect into a "reverse bigotry" narrative

The NFL is on the hot seat because Black players are bringing systematic racism to the spotlight. And this fake Cam Newton outrage is a ruse

Notice all these media pundits who are pretending to be "outraged" over Cam Newton , ignored the racist blackballing of Kaepernick

This fake Cam Newton outrage is basically the white supremacists ( and their token minions) getting on code to shift the narrative

By the way, according to the essential resource @KapWatch, it’s been 217 days now that the NFL has denied him employment.
How many days has Colin Kaepernick been denied work in the NFL? We're counting. https://t.co/H3vJlOMcPq pic.twitter.com/xn29NhiEQD
