Colin Kaepernick is Standing for What's Right

  Standing for what's right can get you cut down. Is there any well-known member of our society more exemplifying this than Colin Kaepernick?
  Few people are so hated.
  Since he began kneeling in protest of the way African-Americans are treated, he has been blackballed, exiled, and thrown out of the league.
   What is the saying? Stand for what is right, even when it isn't popular? He is standing against bigotry, and for equality. Those are good things he fights for.
    Statistics do show African-Americans are jailed more than Caucasians. And, we can look at the police violence situations and see African-Americans are more likely to be victims. Whether we agree with Kaepernick on all of his political and social issue stands, we should want to stand with him in those things that are right.
   And, I wonder how we can deny the statistics on how African-Americans are treated.
   Standing for truth can leave you without friends, but it does not leave you without honor.
