TMZ Sports caught up with Ne-Yo and asked him about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s comments regarding Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest. The R&B star was very critical of Justice Ginsburg’s comments, at one point referring to the comments as “dumb sh*t.” Ne-Yo also expressed his support for Kaepernick given the state of unrest in our country.
Justice Ginsburg’s comments were somewhat surprising as she is one of the left leaning members of the Supreme Court. Calling Kaepernick’s protest “dumb and disrespectful” was a poor choice of words. However, I suspect Justice Ginsburg is in the “I disagree with the method” camp. What I would be interested to know is what she thinks about the state of black and brown people in America, the obvious systemic racism at play within the criminal justice system and our mass incarceration problem. Her responses to questions like that would be a better indication of her feelings and beliefs.
