The August evening the nation first noticed Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem at an NFL game, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback held a postgame news conference, as is typical league policy.
At that news conference Kaepernick wore a T-shirt emblazoned with photos from a 1960 meeting between Malcolm X and Fidel Castro.
So after his first notable protest against what last week he called the systematic oppression of minorities in the United States, and saying he wants freedom for all people, Colin Kaepernick put on a T-shirt that featured a supportive image of one of the 20th centurys most enduring oppressors.
This absurd contradiction between what Kaepernick said and does was only a distant annoyance to me because, although I was born into Cubas imprisonment, I dont often write about Kaepernick or his team.
