I Stand With My Dear Brother Colin Kaepernick
03 September 16
stand with my dear brother Colin Kaepernick as he sits or kneels in the name of justice and love of black people. I also applaud brothers Eric Reid and Jeremy Lane as they follow their conscience with courage.
As a youth, I was kicked out of school for refusing to salute the flag. Now I stand for the memory of my beloved father and others who gave much under the flag -- yet I stand in order for others to have the right to refuse to stand -- just keep the "Love Supreme" at the center of the refusing.
