Colin Kaepernick knelt at the beginning of football games to protest excessive and often deadly police violence against Black people. You have to wonder why when a Black athlete protested harm coming to Black people, a bunch of White people twisted the meaning and claimed that he was “disrespecting the country.”
No, actually you don’t have to wonder why. A racist lives in the White House today. The border patrol detains brown people in cages that aren't fit for animals. Is anyone surprised that there was backlash when a Black person had the guts and the audacity to protest institutionalized racism?
