Bias Alert Kaepernick

In the 60's as anger at colleges against the Vietnam War surged over the land like a rising tide

If a college man wanted to up the odds of getting laid, on his political views usually lied 

If a liberated young woman, you wanted to take to bed 

You would never admit to being on the right, admit to being a closet Red

Old impressions die slowly and are hard to put to rest

As Kaepernick's behavior on the National Anthem would seem to suggest

His new found political activism and support for BLM

From a relationship from an activist Diab seems to stem

He has been subject to attack but many have rushed to his side to defend

After all, police targeting of men of color is a practice if true all would want to end

But the sounds of silence from the mainstream press

Quickly ignored other statements he expressed

He faulted her use of “super predators” and her deletion of emails

Reminding us that if any of us mere mortals had done the same, we all would be in jail

Google that concept and you will find that such mainstream reporting does not exist

Trump yes in spades on racism, but for Hillary media bias impossible to resist
