Colin from videos:
bring awareness..
this country stands for freedom liberty justice for all.. and it’s not happening for all right now
for everyone.. people are dying in vain because this country isn’t holding their end of the bargain up.. as far as giving liberty/justice to all

If standing up for flags is more important than standing up for people under that flag, we have a problem. http://fb.me/2lp3JzNfB

Don’t use my service–or that of any veteran–to justify the silencing of black Americans. Not on my watch.#VeteransForKaepernick

#VeteransForKaepernick Although my grandfather served two tours in Vietnam, he couldn’t even rent a home near his base b/c he was black.

I wish somebody would do a thorough content analysis of Nazi German propaganda, searching for instances of “fighting for our freedoms.”

Obama on @Kaepernick7: “I think he cares about some real, legitimate issues that have to be talked about.” https://t.co/htPDCsqg6c (http://twitter.com/MichaelSkolnik/status/772769282522542080?s=17)

“I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed,” Kaepernick said when the news first broke. “If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right.”

Colin Kaepernick says, ” I have made my decision I will not be participating in this organization called the NFL anymore they don’t value what I stand for so I must leave because my activism and the love I have for my people and most importantly building these kids minds with confidence and love for self, Means more to me than any Superbowl Ring. I want black kids to see me and think, ‘Okay, he’s carrying himself as a black man, and that’s how a black man should carry himself. I’m going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed.”
