Kaep is right, there's no reason for black folks to celebrate today.

I can't celebrate a day where euros claimed "independence" on land they stolen from the indigenous people. Let alone my people were forced to move here as slaves and still get no respirations for it.

I don't see how anyone with an internet connection can hate on this man or say he's just seeking attention.Dude literally funds a program that teaches youth their rights and how to interact with law enforcement.

He does more via Twitter/Instagram than most people will do in their lifetimes when it comes to making a difference and raising awareness.

From Dave Zirin's article: Colin Kaepernick Shouldn’t Have to Beg to Play in the NFL

It reminds one of the Martin Luther King Jr. quote that “a man cannot ride you unless your back is bent.” But Kaepernick won’t bend to this. He’s not chasing brand appeal or paychecks and that makes him resistant to the coercion of owners. He just wants to play football and thinks he should because he had a great season and is by any measure better than—at minimum—half the quarterbacks currently on rosters. No one is asking quarterback also-rans such as Austin Davis or Mark Sanchez to explain whether they in fact deserve to be in the league. No one is asking the quarterback whose job Kaepernick took last year, Blaine Gabbert, whether he has the right to his job as a backup on the Arizona Cardinals. There is a principle here that Colin Kaepernick is defending through his silence: the principle that he deserves to play in this league on merits and that that should be enough. The NFL often asserts that teams just want to win and they are, as Roger Goodell bleats, “a meritocracy.” This embarrassing off-season has exposed this to be a lie. Colin Kaepernick should not have to plead on Good Morning America for a job. If NFL owners could just keep their politics out of sports, he wouldn’t have to.

Home? Nikka you ain't from Africa. growing in a home where nobody look like you or understood your struggle must have been tough for dude. Now he's found an "identity", he doubling down like a mothafukka...
