Interesting Quote: Colin Kaepernick

"I have made my decision I will not be participating in this organization called the NFL anymore they don't value what I stand for so I must leave because my activism and the love I have for my people and most importantly building these kids minds with confidence and love for self, Means more to me than any Superbowl Ring. I want black kids to see me and think, 'Okay, he's carrying himself as a black man, and that's how a black man should carry himself. I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed."

This is getting interesting.

U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe is following in Colin Kaepernick's footsteps. She knelt during the national anthem last night at the Chicago Red Stars-Seattle Reign soccer game in Chicago.

Now, let's see how the haters react to her. Cue in the lesbian jokes and anti-LGBT bias

Standing with Kaepernick

I'm supporting Colin because there is no lies in what he's saying.

There are bodies in the streets, while these cops are on paid leave. Meanwhile the families are left with questions and loved one dead.

Colin has started something that can not be denied. Love it or hate it, it'r real and clearly the truth.

#VeteransForKaepernick is the best thing ever

Ever since San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick made his stance about the national anthem and the way people of color are treated in this country, everybody who has no idea about freedom of speech had something to say.

Mostly, fools focused on the "supposed" disrespect of the flag and the U.S. military who fought and died for our freedom.

Well, the soldiers came out in support of my boo, using the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick

As a naval veteran & Afro-Latino immigrant who suffers from PTSD my brother would stand w/ #VeteransforKaepernick pic.twitter.com/WPMYviJwxF

Freedom isn't free. We fight so that you can sit. Don't speak for us. Generational formation. #VeteransForKaepernick pic.twitter.com/6MzfcQjjws

I'm with #VeteransForKaepernick because we don't selectively defend one's Constitutional rights. #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/EGbuh4Cpfx

I don't agree with all of his points, but I'll fight to the death for his right to say it. #VeteransForKaepernick pic.twitter.com/0jeFlIv5RX

Interesting Quote: Colin Kaepernick

“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
