Nice!

To get this thread going, he's not MLK as stated in the OP, not close. But, as I stated in another thread, there's a very good chance that history will treat Kaepernick well.

Is Kaep active on the community level at all?

I don't know.

He has trouble staying out of his own way.

I was a critic at the beginning. But since then, he's put his money where his mouth is, so to speak.

Well I think that defines a lot of our past leaders, especially the athletes.

Kaep will have the luxury of being on the other side of a bigger villain: the NFL.

I agree that Kaepernick will be on the right side of history.

That he's one of the best examples of a current leader is...telling.

here's a thought:

does an assumed leader of the black lives matter movement have to be black?

Kap will be on the right side of history -- agree with that.
I don't think he's particularly a great leader - more of a figure.

Even after having achieved the highest office in the land, Obama seems best suited in a lot of ways.

but man, does he have his detractors.

what were MLK's detractors like?

I can only imagine they were worse. Especially worse at a motel in Memphis.

They killed him.


Also, COINTELPRO.

For me, for this thing, there's such a gap, it's like preseason Big 12 rankings.

1. Obama ( KU )


Everyone else
