Although Colin Kaepernick hasn’t snapped an NFL football in almost a decade, the once star quarterback continues to dominate the industry with his pro Black Lives Matter banter. The most recent project for the social justice warrior aims to build a utopia where there is no police and no prisons that supposedly degrade minority individuals.

Coining the name “Abolition for the People”, Kaepernick has joined forces with Level, a publication house, to publish a list of essays from numerous authors that push for white supremacist institutions like police and prisons to be abolished. According to Kaepernick, reform is off the table. He doesn’t view additional training or body cameras helping cure the so-called racism controlling the judicial system.

In his introductory essay for the program, Kaepernick writes, “The central intent of policing is to surveil, terrorize, capture, and kill marginalized populations, specifically Black folks.” What about prisons? Their only purpose is to “isolate, regulate, and surveil” black people.

Kaepernick goes on to take words from the acclaimed writer Angela Davis as he writes, “Prisons do not disappear problems, they disappear human beings.” He also writes that society will only be “safer, heathier, and truly free” when corrupt systems are abolished.

As for the utopia Kaepernick dreams of, he has yet to give an explanation or answer as to how law and order will be enforced in this new future. The best Nike’s billion-dollar man could come up with is the good ole buddy system. This is what he told reporters.

“To be clear, the abolition of these institutions is not the absence of accountability but rather the establishment of transformative and restorative processes that are not rooted in punitive practices. By abolishing policing and prisons, not only can we eliminate white supremacist establishments, but we can create space for budgets to be reinvested directly into communities to address mental health needs, homelessness, and houselessness, access to education, and job creation as well as community-based methods of accountability.”

Doubling-down on his disdain for police, Kaepernick states that it isn’t the criminals who have failed society but society who has failed them. Wait, what? In his essay, Kaepernick writes, “prisons do not contain a ‘criminal population’ running rampant but rather a population that society has repeatedly failed.”

Luckily, for now, Kaepernick’s ideas are subject to only paper, but his ideologies aren’t his own. Many within the Democratic party agree with Kaepernick’s statements and want nothing more than to evoke a fantasy utopia where they believe peace will be the new law.
