Or so the many supporters of Colin Kaepernick would have you believe.
Yesterday, the news that GQ Magazine named Kaepernick their “Citizen of the Year” hit social media, and needless to say, much of America let out a collective “WTF?”
When I heard the news and saw the cover, I shared my disgust on both my FB page and on Twitter. Twitter being what it is, I got a few replies that were not in agreement with my opinion. That is to be expected, as not everyone has the same opinions as I do, but one of those responses lead to a “conversation” that is the epitome of what is ailing the United States currently.
This was my initial Tweet:
So, suck at your job, spread racist bullshit and hate cops. That is what it takes to be GQ’s “citizen of the year” https://t.co/en6Vt8OtBS

What follows is the “conversation” that leaves me with serious questions about our future:
Shut your racist candy ass TF up! Fuck the police and fuck you. You’re really that mad at someone calling you pig bitches out?!? #Bigot ?? — @lioness_ofjudah (@Lioness_OfJudah) November 13, 2017
My response to that, which included retweeting it:
Irony, being called a bigot at the end of a completely racist, bigoted rant… SMFH https://t.co/4BkNUpsPsA

And it went rapidly downhill from there…
Such a bigot I am! Wanting to breathe without some racist pig ass officer bitching about my tail light, yet being in fear of his life! ??✊? — @lioness_ofjudah (@Lioness_OfJudah) November 13, 2017
But lest we not forget, since I am calling Kaepernick out for his bullshit, that apparently means I am racist and want all blacks to die…
Hmmm a cop spreading lie because he doesn’t want blacks to have the right to live… wasn’t too hard sweetie!

Apparently, according to this delightful individual, who is “Just a sexy, sophisticated, educated, charming, complicated kinda woman,” I said the Black Panther Party was racist.
You just bashed the black panther party as racist!?!? Talk about unfounded… your lack of knowledge and hypocrisy SHINES you scholar you! — @lioness_ofjudah (@Lioness_OfJudah) November 14, 2017
While I never said anything of the sort, that is indeed factually correct, so I thought I would point that out to her.
Please point to where I said the black panther party (never even said party) was racist. I can wait.
BTW, the NBPP is listed as a racist hate group by the SPLC.https://t.co/3TScliI5sg

In response, she dumbfoundingly calls the Southern Poverty Law Center “a racist bigot” because they have identified the New Black Panther Party as a racist hate group.
Pls point to where u didn’t imply it. Like u did with this trash ass propaganda article by an equally as racist bigot. Keep adding fuel ⛽️ — @lioness_ofjudah (@Lioness_OfJudah) November 14, 2017
It was at this point that I realized that this person is definitely not firing on all cylinders. While I am no fan of the Southern Poverty Law Center, because they lean very far to the left and falsely identify a great number of conservative groups as hate groups, they most definitely are not a “racist bigot,” and the fact that this self-proclaimed “educated” person doesn’t know that, their supposed education is now being called into question. At this point, I attempted to bow out, albeit not gracefully.
You really are an idiot aren’t you. You are calling the super ultra liberal Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that identifies hate groups and is used as a source by just about every media outlet, “a racist bigot”???
Good luck in life. I’m done with you.
— Deputy Matt (@BangSwitchMatt) November 14, 2017
But wait, how did I miss that? Did she just demand I show her where I did NOT do something???? Let me reread that. Yep, that is exactly what she said.
You literally just said “Please show me where you did not do something” AYFKM? You realize no one can show you where they did not do something, since they didn’t do it, right? Carry on idiot. Through talking to you. https://t.co/BSE5rc46D8 — Deputy Matt (@BangSwitchMatt) November 14, 2017
And at that point, it devolved into just insults and name calling, but my favorite is when she said she hopes I get killed in the line of duty. She has since deleted that tweet, but not to worry as I screen grabbed it.
Funny, all this from the person whose first tweet to me was:
“Shut your racist candy ass TF up! Fuck the police and fuck you. You’re really that mad at someone calling you pig bitches out?!? #Bigot”
But you know, the cops are the problem… pic.twitter.com/G8lsre2uDk

So, thinking I was done with her, I carried on with life, only to check in on Twitter later in the night to find that now only is she a cop hating racist bigot, but apparently she is homophobic as well. Apparently, realizing she again screwed up, she has since deleted that Tweet too, but again, not a problem as I also saved it.
Then, when I point that out, she tried to put that on me, while simultaneously continuing her cop hating tirade.
Leave the gays outta this piggy! You’re a white racist who HATES anything forward moving for blacks PERIOD! So shut up with th backpedaling — @lioness_ofjudah (@Lioness_OfJudah) November 14, 2017
It was at this point that I completely gave up, and since she was not going to let it go, I blocked her.
But, life is sometimes like a train wreck, and it begs you to look at the disaster, and so I did. I checked her Twitter feed this morning to see what other nuggets of wisdom she may have let fly during the night, aaaaaaaaand I was not disappointed.
This is the dimwit who called me a racist pig & actually said she hopes I am killed at work.
But cops are the problem…
And “mayonnaise America” are the racists….
And the NBPP is not racist…
And the SPLC is a racist bigot…
You really can’t make this up. pic.twitter.com/k059iDdCBj

But hey, remember folks, the cops are the problem here in the United States. It has nothing to do with the cop hating racists that continue to propagate the lies pushed by Black Lives Matter…
In all seriousness, how are we supposed to combat the blatant lies tearing this country apart when people like this actively dismiss information provided to them, and do nothing but project their racism onto others?
This is not just about the “Lioness of Judah” and other racist blacks, because there are plenty of backwards ass, idiotic racist whites too. I’m at a loss for how to effectively deal with them.
These people are the problem with the US.
These people are dragging us all down.
