Maybe if we had listened to Colin Kaepernick four years ago, we wouldn’t be here. Maybe if we had embraced Kaepernick’s peaceful protest, had taken it seriously, had paid attention to the issue he was trying to address, we could be working toward change instead of witnessing the chaos, anger and violence in our streets. Because this was exactly what Kaepernick was protesting. Not the anthem. Not the flag. Not the military. But unchecked police brutality against people of color in our country. It has been an issue as long as we have been a nation. Horrifying instances of brutality and murder continue to take place, whether or not someone pulls out a phone to record it, as happened in the case of George Floyd. For every one incident that happens to be recorded, think of how many hundreds take place without public exposure. Kaepernick, the former 49ers’ quarterback, couldn’t change that history, of course. Not alone. But he turned a focus on it, using the enormous platform of the National Football League in the age of social media. Everyone noticed. houstonchronicle.com
