Colin Kaepernick Receives Prestigious Harvard Award For Black Excellence
Former NFL player Colin Kaepernick received Harvard’s prestigious W.E.B. Du Bois medal on Thursday for his tireless protests of police brutality and racial inequality.
The medal is given to people who have “made significant contributions to African and African-American history and culture” as well as “individuals who advocate for intercultural understanding and human rights,” according to Harvard’s Hutchins Center for African & African American Research.
In his acceptance speech, Kaepernick spoke about members of a high school football team he met in Oakland, California.
“I feel like it’s not only my responsibility, but all our responsibilities as people that are in positions of privilege, in positions of power, to continue to fight for them and uplift them, empower them,” he went on. “Because if we don’t, we become complicit in the problem.”

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

Considering there are a number of black folks still protesting the NFL I'm trying to understand what substantive victory is gained by increased ratings? Are ratings up because almost no one is kneeling anymore? I guess I don't even get what symbolism is gained by increased ratings

See Kaepernick increases Nike values.
"2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

So there aren't black people who have been protesting the NFL until Kaep gets a job? When The Undefeated and The Root write about that they are just lying?
There aren't blacks protesting the NFL because of the league's response to the players kneeling? None of that is true either?
So why do these (black) sites make up these lies?

When was the last time Kaperdick officially protested?

Feel free to cherry-pick any conclusion that makes you comfortable.
TTQ is right. The people protesting the NFL live in Trump World. How is it you don't know that?
We've argued NFL policy regarding the anthem .. argued it to the point of it being a non-factor.
NFL players raise fists, kneel and stay off field during national anthem

We win again.

What am I cherry picking? That makes no sense. I'm asking what increased NFL viewership means you win?
Then you either don't follow what's written about black NFL fans or you just choose to take TTQ64's side when she is lying again if you think black fans haven't been protesting the league. (NOt all but there are groups doing it)

49ers apologize for leaving Colin Kaepernick out of photo gallery
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers have apologized for initially leaving Colin Kaepernick out of a photo gallery celebrating the team's history against the Green Bay Packers.
The 49ers posted dozens of photos on their website of past games against the Packers before the teams meet again Monday night, but at first did not include any of Kaepernick.
The team later added photos of Kaepernick. This is the first photo gallery the 49ers have run this year; pictures of Kaepernick were included in all seven galleries posted on the team's website last year.
"Unfortunately there were a handful of obvious misses in this gallery posted by our website team and we appreciate them being brought to our attention," the 49ers said in a statement. "The 49ers organization has tremendous respect and gratitude for the contributions Colin made to our team over the years."

Why don't you let Blacks state their own position, rather than you mis-stating it for them?

No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else.
