KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding.

Yes, what his happening in Gaza is "An Israeli Genocide."
But it is more accurately described as "An American-Sponsored Genocide."

Yes, reparations are commonplace, even when it comes to race. Survivors of Japanese-American internment camps received federal reparations. The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act gave money and land to—you guessed it—Alaska Native people. (cont.)
