@kaepernick7 put it all out there, heroically, at a time when many called him names, berated him and took away something he loved doing just for standing for justice for all. Today, still, they’re taking things away from him by not giving taking back what was done. He was an ally to the #LGBTQ community in sports when many weren’t. In our eyes, he is a gem and so many missed out on his greatness and his forward thinking just because we live in a nation where #racism and #whitesupremacy are more important than the people who this land really belongs to. This one is to #colinkaepernick … thank you! We are humbled by your bravery and sense of what a democracy should really be about and we are sorry that you had to go through all of it with almost no support (ourselves painfully included). We see you. #blackhistorymonth #blackisbeaitiful✊ #blacklivesstillmatter #blackpeoplebuiltamerica #blackisking #blackispower #takeaknee #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #blackhistoryiseveryday #blacklivesmatter✊✊✊ #blacklivesmatter✊ #blackandbeautiful #instablack #blackgram #blackisamerica #Repost @aclu_nationwide ・・・ Some say football is no place for politics. They’re wrong. Exercising our constitutional right to criticize policies and practices that have failed us is one of the purest forms of patriotism. Colin Kaepernick took a knee to protest unrelenting police violence against Black communities and was blacklisted because of it. This Black History Month, we recognize his contributions to the fight for racial justice. And to the players that kneeled this season — we’re with you.
