Colin Kaepernick Is Righter Than You Know

[DCAllAfrican]

From Etan Thomas:

I remember how much push back I got when I wrote this Open Letter to #JayZ back in 2019 for The Undefeated after his #NFL partnership. Ppl were saying I didn’t understand that he was playing chess and not checkers. Well, I stand by everything I wrote
From the article:
“This doesn’t look like chess versus checkers, this looks like Connect 4, you stacking your chips on top of the movement and connecting with the NFL for a straight line across capitalism. You won the game, but it definitely doesn’t equal social justice, not yet at least.”

An open letter to Jay-Z

Dear Jay-Z, Since the announcement of your NFL deal, I have heard many of your fans attempting explanations for your partnership. Be patient. Chess versus check…

I am still utterly confused by him wanting to play in the NFL after all that has happened since

Hes still young and talented... only so much video gaming and hiking n **** you can do.

I hear that & i get that football is a love & a passion, but it's *** backwards to say a league is racist & ****ed up (It 100% is) & then be seeking employment in it knowing it will bring even more attention to the league.

Let's say he does get signed, All those people who supported him are probably going to tune it, tweet, share highlights etc etc = more NFL revenue, Imagine the amount of Jersey Sales.... even if the messaging is good it still benefits the NFL

Thoughts?

In a sport with 75% black players for them to have to do all that is sad.

Seen this in the corporate world many times. I'm for inclusion but I've seen organizations use women to shield themselves from their awful track record on hiring and promoting BIPOC. Easy to say you're advancing diversity when you just bring in White women.
