I just want to add something I forgot a while ago. Kaepernick once secured a plane and 1 million dollars (much of it his own, non-deductable) for relief during the Somali famine. And since he was not exactly trusting of the human rights groups that were, "helping" in Somalia, he organized it himself and put himself in direct risk to be sure the aid got to its desired destination

Could I get a source for this?

Just saying, this dude is pretty much one of the best people on the planet and one of the better examples of what it means to be an American. You Americans should be proud of this man, not trying to slander his words and intentions at every waking opportunity.

As a philanthropist, he seems an outstanding person. As an orator, he's disappointing. Somewhat troubling...

At around 3:25, he refers to Stephon Clark's shooting as a lynching. Clark was not lynched, he was shot... He mentions "Lawful lynchings" earlier at around 2:03 but as far as I know, I know nothing of any lynchings by police...

Also, he makes constant references to "black and brown" victims of police brutality... No love for white victims? They're the most numerous!.. Per the Washington Post.
