For all who would silence or condemn 49er Colin Kaepernick for sitting out the national anthem at a recent football game, remember our Brothas at the 1968 Olympics, John Carlos and Tommie Smith. They told them that the time and place they chose to exercise their first amendment right to peaceful protest was 'inappropriate" too. FORTY EIGHT years ago they protested to bring attention to the same issue, the state of Blacks in America. So tell me, when is the "appropriate" time and what is the "appropriate" manner to raise or bring attention to this very relevant matter?
I await your response...
