If I could sit down and interview Colin Kaepernick, I'd face him with questions like, Do you still consider Malcolm X a hero? What do you make of socialism? Malcolm X was a leader in the Nation of Islam at one time, and the Nation of Islam's beliefs went beyond equality. They believed in black supremacy. Do you think Malcolm believed that way to his death? How about you? How do you feel about black supremacy? Do you believe with Malcolm X that Christianity is "the white man's religion"?
I'd ask a lot of similar questions of Malcolm X, if I could sit down with him.
I believe Kaepernick still ascribes to the teachings of Malcolm. I love Kaepernick, the same, and admire him for standing up for what he believes is right. But, that doesn't mean I endorse everything about Kaepernick.
I think while it is good to recognize good in people, we must be careful not do be overly affected by them, that we take in that which isn't good.
