I think that's a fair question.
It makes me angry because I don't believe Colin Kaepernick is genuine. Maybe he started his whole kneeling movement from a good place. I don't know. But the other stuff, the Castro stuff, the socks with cops' faces as pigs, it went from "an athlete trying to do something good" to "an athlete trying to grab headlines."
You ask me why it bothers me? It bothers me just like Kathy Griffin's stunt bothered me. It smacks of opportunistic "You Won't Believe What Kaepernick Did Next" BS.
I don't think he's interested in making any real progress, like so many other people in the world. He's "raising awareness" the same one millions of folks do on Twitter. A whole lot of talk, air time, and not a single thing accomplished.
