Would you go out and stand and protest for a cause? have you stood in protest for a cause? Well in this case Colin Kaepernick is sitting for a cause. All around us things are occuring on a daily basis. you can easily take your pick of the way you want to demonstrate and organize.
Now let me ask you this question. would you still demonstrate for a cause knowing that it could cause harm to your bank account? think about this. There are so many people on each side of what Colin Kaepernick is doing so many tearing the man down or building him up without even acknowledging what his actions represent. For him this stance could of had the potential to cost him millions of dollars. Yet he did it anyways because, in my opinion, A: He didn't think it would , or B: He felt the act would bring attention to a cause that he felt was so important that the money meant less to him.
Just yesterday, Leading Green Party Candidate Jill Stein, had Felony warrants issued for her arrest in North Dakota. Over the previous week Jill Stein has been protesting with the North Dakota Sioux tribe. Their objective is to stop the oil pipeline from destroying sacred Sioux burial land.
Would you do the same? if it meant giving up the chance for a presidential run? Now i'm not saying she is/was going to win. I 'm not even going to say that this wasn't a plan to garner her more attention and to show the everyday Americans that she is willing to fight for what she believes in. I'm just curious would you do the same ?
Is there something going on right now that is so important that you can and would jeopardize your way of life?
What is your breaking point? What is societies breaking point? I know the line is blurred, but at what point does the line between humanity and the almighty dollar run together so that we can focus on taking care of each other.
