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)
"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."
Colin continued, "We want to teach you today about financial literacy, how you can pursue higher education, how you can be physically fit and healthy. We will talk about police brutality, and what to do about it, but we also have lawyers, professors, health and fitness experts, because we want you to be able to live the life of your dreams."
For the next several hours, the kids would attend smaller breakout sessions with leaders and experts challenging them to create powerful new habits for success. Not a single workshop was about sports, but instead they were all about essential life skills that would prepare the kids for a world that often treats people of color with an incredible harshness.
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.
I want all of you to know what I know, so when you leave, in your bag, you'll see the forms where each and every one of you can discover your ancestry through your DNA for free. We've taken care of that for each of you. I want you to know what I know and know where you came from before slavery, before this oppression that we are experiencing, before police brutality, you had thousands of years of rich history and I want you to know your roots with that history.
Kaepernick is really cool and I hope he continues to do good long after he's gone from this sport
@Dogbone33 hey man, have fun! Lucas Oil is pretty cool
I'm stoked. Luckily my sister lives in the area so we are going to pregame there and she will drive us to the stadium and back to postgame. I'm not as happy about my seats but some shartblaster started buying up the secondary market and spiking prices. I had to move before I was ready.

We'll be the ones somehow still rooting for the Panthers
Today is going to be awesome, we've got Brady back and the Bills don't have Shady.
Time for some payback for that shutout at Gillette.

Granted she knows nothing about either of them and I asked based only on their name.
She told me to start Tyrod. Bort got 29. Tyrod better get at least 20 or I might be getting a divorce.
They're accustomed to draws so it's fine.
Maybe this is why nobody is watching your shit, NFL.
Because of people committing penalties?
