[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He compared cops to "runaway slave patrols."

Not exactly inspiring to most Americans.

There are tons of inspirational black Americans, but Kaepernick is not one of them.[/quote]

I have to agree.

I'm sick of people idolizing sports figures and actors.  Plus, Kaepernick was sort of a has been at one point before he tried to reinvent himself. I think he's an opportunist.

Why not Ta-Nehisi Coates?

or Mary Jackson?  She's older but she paved the way for AA females in scientific fields.

What about Colin Powell?  too Republican???

Tarana Burke?  the real face behind #metoo

Stacey Abrams?

I did some research on lesser known figures - Arlan Hamilton. Look her up. impressive

If OP is talking about my school, which I think she is, the entire school is decorated right now with Black heroes from the 18th through 21st centuries and over 60 countries. There’s a huge hidden figures collage that just went up. The kids are being exposed to very varied political viewpoints. I saw a poster profiling Ben Carson next to one for Booker T. Washington.[/quote]

uh, Ben Carson and Mr. Washington are aligned in a way.  You'd know this if you actually knew anything about African American society and history.[/quote]
