Wow? Most people living in SEC country back then thought MLK was a trouble maker and a thug criminal that was arrested 30 times in 10 years.

and now we have people thinking the same thing about Kapernick for taking a damn knee???? Nothing has changed.

Bud, even a lot of black people that are in the NFL think Kap is wrong in his choice. Do you think that any black people believed MLK's opposition to Jim Crow was off?

Really? Really, bruh?

We've had a two term African American president. We've had, for 8 straight years, African Americans as attorney general. In cities like Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago and many more you've had the same party in power for decades. Let's stop choosing to only look at one side of this coin and let's start examining where else some blame for the situation could/should fall. Elected officials - often elected on the PROMISE of change - have done little to change the situation, rather they've maintained the situation.

Really? So he has every right to express his opinion, but those expressing disappointment in him have no right to express their opinion?

And please....let's not compare Colin Kaepernick to MLK. Seems a bit overreaching.
