People mad Kaepernick sat during the national anthem in protest, but they aren't mad about the injustice he's protesting. That's the point.
Colin Kaepernick speaking truth to power. Protest matters. Go head, Nupe.http://usat.ly/2bYI57U

Colin: "Our country advantages certain folks at the expense of lives of black & brown ppl, among others." Everyone: "Fuck you, play ball."
-
Not even about hard core racists reacting to Kaepernick exactly as you'd expect hard core racists to react. They're not the target audience.
-
Problem is the White Moderate King spoke of so poignantly -- the folks who say, "This isn't the way, not the time, you've gone too far."
-
Colin: People are dying & we need to address that. White Moderate: But not the anthem! Show respect -- progress isn't done this way. Me:
-
How convo should go: Colin: We need to address this. White moderate: Hmm, can't say I relate, but say more. What's wrong? How can WE help?

If you think Colin Kaepernick sitting for the anthem is about sports, you're part of the reason why he needed to do that. It's about lives.

Seeing a lot "this not the right way" & "be respectful". Not seeing enough "let's address issues causing protest."http://cbsprt.co/2bPWmqi

White people need to stop telling black people to "be respectful" when what they mean is "be quiet" -- it's a cowardly cover.

Weird how regularly the people standing in the way of progress are the ones saying the protests aren't done "right" or "respectfully"

Protest matters. These are conversations that wouldn't be happening otherwise.

These reactions are why

This.
#Kaepernick shouldn't even have to defend his right to sit. The convo needs to shift to WHY he sits.pic.twitter.com/2f3FG6ULoH

We've always condemned activists (sometimes killing them) for doing activism only to whitewash it later.

People use veterans as pawns to fight freedom of expression, but these veterans have something to say.

#VeteransForKaepernick is trending. Btw, this isn't about veterans really. Supposed to be about the injustices#Kaepernick is highlighting. -
#Kaepernick is a patriot. Definitions of patriotism excluding protest & other means to improve society are cowardly.http://on.mtv.com/2ceUckK -

People wanna make this about the military. Ok. The NFL spends millions on military tributes instead of on benefitting ACTUAL veterans. Bye.

No. On so many levels. No.
