In the wake of the airstrike killing of Quds leader Qassem Soleimani, social justice activist and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick had the following comments:

There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism.

— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) January 4, 2020

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.

Um, who wants to tell him?

Soleimani was responsible for killing more "brown people," especially Muslims, than almost any human being on the planet.

Great work, @Nike. Hell of a spokesperson you have there. https://t.co/TxrZzRRDAA

Soleimani oversaw the murder, starvation, displacement, detention and torture of millions of brown Syrians and Iraqis. https://t.co/NrQIRw3van

Siding with an Iranian Islamic terrorist who's killed hundreds Americans, injured untold numbers more, and from a country that's anything but progressive to trash America?

Disgusting and unsurprising. So you're….pro-terrorism? https://t.co/EKxFnr2KLx

Whenever someone tries to tell that Kaeperprick was blackballed outta the NFL, just show them this tweet and ask them if they want an employee who literally hates the country that made him rich and famous https://t.co/6MBTAltQqu

Liberals seem to hate America a whole lot. https://t.co/LdIdnzeYh3

Is there really any other way to see it?

Colin Kaepernick supports terrorism, surprising precisely no one. https://t.co/wqJKU4j8dS

In all seriousness, Colin. Please seek help.

You live in the greatest country on the face of the Earth, a land that allows anyone with will and talent to succeed.
