If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.
It seems like every week we are having another black man’s or black woman’s life being reduced to a RIP hashtag on Twitter or a photo-collage on Instagram. At some point this has to stop. We are all human beings and our lives should be valued and respect as mush as others. With Colin Kaepernick’s protest picking up steam after some are beginning to remove the blinder and not just acknowledging his kneeling but to actually listen to the message he’s trying to deliver, more people from all walks of life are showing their support.
Korryn Gaines, a 25 year-old mother, was shot and killed by a Baltimore-area police officer on August 1st. Gaines death is one of the many examples in which Kaepernick is standing (Kneeling) for. Kaepernick has the support of Gaines’ lawyer, J. Wyndal Gordon, who decided to wear his Kaepernick jersey to court.
