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.
