Life comes at you fast, doesn’t it?
The same people who cheered when Colin Kaepernick lost his job in the NFL for taking a knee and exercising his Civil Right to Peacefully Protest are now furious about being “Mandatory Required” by their employers to be vaccinated or will loose their jobs.
So?
Protesting against wearing “Masks Mandates”, requirements to be vaccinated, and not being able to use religion as an excuse not to get one – because is not acceptable to employers, it’s a Civil Rights Violations, but…
Peacefully Protesting against Police Brutality in the Black Community is not?
Political Hypocrisy is not only being found in this issue.
It was also pointed out on the 20th Anniversary of the “September 11th Attacks” by NBC News.
History has always been on Colin Kaepernick’s side, however, it has to be pointed out that those who get Good Trouble have a list of enemies miles long.
Being from the base, which lives – and dies!, by the code:
“Is not about being right…is about doing right!”
It has never been – and will never!, be easy being part of The Movement.
Enemies within are more dangerous than outsiders because they will use ethnicity, religion, and politics for their own enrichment.
You have to be thankful for Gatekeepers like Colin Kaepernick because they continue to use their platforms to speak Truth To Power!
To put the intentional mistreatment and political Witch Hunt the NFL owners, media and hypocrisy others have subjected Colin Kaepernick to for Peacefully Protesting, let me show this example to put in perspective:
Richard Sherman was charged with:
- Resisting Arrest
- Domestic Abuse
- Trying to Break an Entry
- Drunk Driving
- Etc…Etc…
Yet!
NFL, Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization just signed this “Role Model“, while Colin Kaepernick with a Super Bowl appearance in his resume didn’t even get a Publicity Stunt tryout like Tim Tebow did with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
