re: Eric Reid says that his protests are keeping him unsigned

Kap started the protest because he thought people of color were not being treated equally, especially by police. The only thing it had to do with money is the fact that in his eyes the people being affected were impoverished and didn't have a voice. His mission was to change the way those people were being treated, not to change their environment.

I'm not sure where your idea of money equating to the success of the protest is coming from

It is also an accentuated position that people of 'color' which he supports are being mistreated. In most cases the fault comes on a committed crime or felony. In most scenarios a lack of proper education = poverty = crime. In order to fix this, you have to change the environment starting with education which costs money. You act as if I don't understand the situation. What is the purpose of raising awareness if you don't intend to actually correct the problem? In this scenario his actions are indeed selfish and probably just for personal attention, to feel the personal gratification as if he was 'helping.
