<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nJust before it was announced that Fidel Castro had died, the Miami Herald<\/a> published an editorial about the confrontation that Armando Salguero had with Colin Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers Quarterback in regards to the T-shirt that the football entertainer wore during interviews. The T-shirt depicted Castro with Malcolm X. Salguero was born in Havana and his family was forced to leave under the Castro regime.<\/p>\n \u201cOne thing Fidel Castro did do is they have the highest literacy rate because they invest more in their education system than they do in their prison system, which we do not do here even though we\u2019re fully capable of doing that,\u201d Kaepernick said.<\/p>\n Is this real life?<\/p>\n First, Cuba does not have the highest literacy rate. Second, don\u2019t be surprised if the same people who report Cuba\u2019s admittedly high literacy rate are related to those who report its election results \u2014 the ones in which the Castros get 100 percent of the votes.<\/p>\n Third, could it be Cuba doesn\u2019t have to invest a lot in its prison system because, you know, dungeons and firing squads (El Paredon) are not too expensive to maintain?<\/p>\n Finally, it\u2019s bizarre that Kaepernick is extolling the education system of a country where people believe launching out into shark-infested seas to flee is a better idea than staying there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This Kaepernick fellow seems awful confused to me, but then, he’s just the product of the corrupt education system in this country that crams a political message into the orifices of our children’s heads instead of facts.<\/p>\n And then there are those wooden headed defenders of Kaepernick, like Jesse Ventura<\/a> (James George Janos);<\/p>\n \u201cI salute Colin Kaepernick,\u201d Ventura said. \u201cI fully support him. Fully and completely. That\u2019s why I served my country, so that you have the freedom to protest. If we don\u2019t like protesting, what\u2019s next?\u201d<\/p>\n Ventura couldn\u2019t possibly care what Kaepernick is protesting, rather that he has the power to do it.<\/p>\n \u201cHe shouldn\u2019t be booed,\u201d Ventura coninued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n What? So only dissent should be encouraged, not dissent of the dissenters. Nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
