Kaep took advantage of the bye week to hold his "I Know My Rights" camp, a camp he and some friends planned and pulled off by themselves for kids in Oakland Each kid got a shirt with 10 rights listed (You have the right to be free, healthy, brilliant, safe, loved, courageous, alive, trusted, educated, and to know your rights) quote:"We're here today to fight back and give you all lessons to combat the oppressive issues that our people face on a daily basis. We're here to give you tools to help you succeed,” he said. “We're going to give you knowledge on policing history, what the systems of policing in America were based on, and we're also going to teach you skills to make sure you always make it home safely." Kaep posted:As many of you know, I was adopted. As African-Americans in general, it's often hard to know where our ancestry, where our roots are. As someone that was adopted, for me, it has been even harder. All I ever really knew was that I was from Milwaukee, but recently, I took an Ancestry DNA test and discovered that my ancestors are from Ghana and Nigeria. It changed everything for me. It helped me know that my history did not begin with being adopted. It did not begin with slavery. It's even part of why I wear this Afro now. I'm not going to hide who I am. Kaepernick is really cool and I hope he continues to do good long after he's gone from this terrible sport

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:Need a dem diaspora. This is why I'm super pissed about the whole California secession attempt. Besides it being dumb as gently caress just like the Texas one was, on the percent chance it actually happened, it gets a lot loving harder for the Dems to win...anything ever again. And they'd still be nearby enough that any incredibly stupid self-destructive disastrous thing the country does would still have a noticeable impact on them

Chilichimp posted:Guess I'm following Mike Evans on twitter now. That's actually the one good thing that's come out of this whole mess. Nobody can bury their heads in the sand anymore, continuing to say "everything's fine" There's a lot of people who openly hate minorities and/or our fight for rights, or even just our fight to exist here. And you know at least some of them. We all do. We can't hide it any more. The first step to fixing a problem is realizing and admitting there's a problem. Also Chichevache posted:It just did.
