Love is Real :: Not Fade Away
Dr. Aubrey de Grey is convinced that he has formulated the theoretical means by which human beings might live thousands of years – indefinitely, in fact.

Colin Kaepernick just received Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience Award for 2018 for his kneeling in protest of racial injustice. While his antics, and yes I call them antics, has garnered him much attention (obviously) and no doubt raised “some” awareness to the problem, he’s done it with absolutely no class and with that estranged himself from the NFL.
BUT what really hurts me today is reading what this clown had to say, in particularly the words he’s chosen to describe the problem. Here’s an excerpt:
“Racialized oppression and dehumanization is woven into the very fabric of our nation — the effects of which can be seen in the lawful lynching of black and brown people by the police”
Are you fucking kidding me? Lynching!? Really? How about you change that to oppression or overt violence? To say our police are engaged in lynching is an absolute disgrace and shows Kaepernick’s personal resentment and anger towards the police responsible for the unnecessary killings of black people. I think there’s more to this however than his protest. As time moves forward and he continues to get zero attention from NFL teams his anger will grow and he will continue to vent his anger under the guise of a humanitarian concern.
Colin Kaepernick you are fucking pathetic.
Got out of bed, wasn’t feeling too good
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes
The sun is shining so I head for the park,
With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes
I got a cousin and she got a friend,
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help
At his apartment I knocked on the door,
He wouldn’t come out until he got paid.
Now don’t tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they’ll never let me through.
It’s no fun being an illegal alien
Down at the office had to fill out the forms
A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose,
Up to the counter to see what they think
They said ‘It doesn’t count man, it ain’t written in ink’.
Don’t trust anybody least not around here, cause
It’s not fun being an illegal alien,
An illegal alien, O.K.
Consideration for your fellow man
Wouldn’t hurt anybody, sure fits in with my plan
Over the border, there lies the promised land
So don’t tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they’ll never let me through.
It’s no fun being an illegal alien.
If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you; but if you really make them think, they’ll hate you.
