“...I would yet have to live with the meaning of my commitment to the ministry of Jesus Christ. To me the relationship of this ministry to the making of peace is so obvious that I sometimes marvel at those who ask me why I am speaking against the war.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
“As we counsel young men concerning military service we must clarify for them our nation’s role in Vietnam and challenge them with the alternative of conscientious objection.” - MLK
“I am pleased to say that this is the path now being chosen by more than 70 students at my own Alma Mater, Morehouse College, and I recommend it to all who find the American course in Vietnam a dishonorable and unjust one.” - MLK
“Moreover, I would encourage all ministers of draft age to give up their ministerial exemptions and seek status as conscientious objectors. Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but WE MUST ALL PROTEST.” - MLK
“This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane... cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love.” - MLK
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” - MLK

The NFL has been denying Colin Kaepernick work longer than Muhammad Ali had been banned from boxing matches (1,310 days from March 22, 1967 - October 26, 1970).
Paul Robeson was denied a passport by the US State Department for 8 years. It took several lawsuits and international pressure to get his passport reissued.

In banning Kaepernick, the NFL is almost halfway to that 8 year milestone. Image
In 1940, Kenny Washington should have been drafted. He was excluded by the NFL for 2,294 days until the 1946 Rams signed him while under pressure to integrate.

In continuing to ban Colin Kaepernick, the NFL is 938 days away from breaking their own collusion record. Image

A Trump supporter posted a video of their pickup truck dangerously close and harassing Joe Biden’s campaign bus on a Texas Highway with the tag #OperationBlockTheBus
I’m being told this is a Toyota Tundra. The back passenger window matches.

Meet Hannah and Randi Ceh of New Braunfels, Texas. Hannah posted this video of her family driving dangerously close to the Biden bus on Instagram. Her dad owns the Toyota Tundra in the video.
🎥: Second Video

Randi Ceh posted a different video of her vehicle driving dangerously close to the Biden bus. You can see the window of the pickup truck roll down and someone later yells, “jackass.”

Sept. 2016: Lil Wayne said he had “no opinion” on Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem.

“...The Black lives matter thing... that whole wave of whatever, that whole wave just went by me too fast for me to even try to even give an opinion.”
Lil Wayne told Skip Bayless, who asked him about racism, “I thought [racism] was over. I still believe it’s over, but, obviously, it isn’t.”
Shannon Sharpe tried to bail Lil Wayne out by reminding him of Alton Sterling and racial injustice during Katrina. Lil Wayne responded that maybe “coming together is the solution” and said his family is his “politics,” his “protest,” and “all that matters” to him.
