Move aside Gandhi and Muhammed Ali, Colin Kaepernick is sacrificing everything for his beliefs.

Seriously, I am coming around on Colin Kaepernick. Perhaps he isn’t JUST a weenie.

I don’t know if its just coincidence but since Colin started his kneeling, we have seem a marked reduction in riots and other BLM activity. He may or may not be a weenie but if politicizing a sporting event means that blacks don’t riot all summer long then I say we support it.

He ought to run for office. After all who else has sacrificed everything like Colin Kaepernick.
