Jackie Robinson when he no longer had "appropriare posture for a Black man".

His words below are strikingly relevant to Kaepernick & other NFL players like Eric Reid being punished 4 their posture #TakeAKnee on #JackieRobinsonDay nydailynews.com/sports/footbal…
“I think most white Americans have their head in the sand. White America is saying ‘law & order’, but in their hearts, law & order simply means holding Black men down”

#JackieRobinsonDay #TakeAKnee
“The amazing thing for me about all of this is that White America is allowing a Bull Connor to be their spokesman”

- Jackie Robinson 50+ yrs before 58% of white voters chose Donald Trump.

I aspire to be this reflective. Damn!

“Hey hey, ho ho! Kavanaugh has got to go!” #MarchForBlackWomen

This beautiful. Hope folks are listening in the Capitol back there.
Feeling out here for Donald Trump exact same as Brett Kavanaugh #MarchForBlackWomen
After combing through the really long line leaving the #blackwomensmarch today in DC, no news folks from MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS or Fox were spotted 🤔

Could be wrong, but that’s ok. There’s another BWMarch tomorrow in NYC at 3pm City Hall.
