Here is another white man in power first telling black people when they should protest, but even taking it a step farther by saying if the message wasn’t given when you are on top that makes it insincere.
Let’s just think about this logically.
As humans we evolve, when we are 18 we might see the world differently than we do at 28 or 38 or 68.
If we start seeing things more clearly as we get older that is a sign of growth not insincerity. Colin Kaepernick at some point woke up to the realities of America and decided to do something about it, that should be applauded not questioned by someone like Tony LaRussa.
Even playing devil’s advocate, let’s say Colin Kaepernick is just doing it for attention, so what? Does that change the message? Does that mean racial injustices aren’t happening? Does that mean cops aren’t shooting unarmed black people in the back?
Kaepernick’s motivations are irrelevant because the issues he is raising are valid and I’d like for ONE person to take as much time talking about the message as they do about the messenger.
