Soft Yellow Lives Matter

AITOOW thinls Kaepernik did the two easiest/laziest (mot to mention) self-promotional actions one can do for a cause? He DIDN'T do something and then he threw (or promised to) tax deductible money at it. Maybe he should run for office?

I would also like to take issue with Rodney Harrison. He basically stated that he (and all black men) gets looked over by society as a potential hoodlum. Hmmm. The people who whose core impulse is to affect "hardness". The people who lionize criminals. The people who carry guns. The people who use drugs. The people who throw gang signs. The people who dress like cons. The people whose entire persona is one of intimidation. The people who want you to think they act en masse and therefor any one of them is the possible nexus of trouble. These people? These people are possibly misconstrued as a potential threat? I can't see how. It just doesn't seem logical that this would be the way it would be. Grow up. Do you ever look in the mirror? Do you EVER TRY and see it from the other person's perspective.

I'd also like everyone to do the following whenever a "hands up don't shoot" action occurs - do the same, but, put one hand behind your back like you are reaching for a gun in your waist band.
