The Mecury News ^ | December 31, 2016 | Elliott Almond

This news organization spent an hour talking to Edwards, 74, about what Kaepernick has done and where the movement needs to go. Here is an edited version of the conversation with the UC Berkeley professor emeritus who lives in Fremont:

"When I contacted the Smithsonian (new National Museum of African American History and Culture), I told them they shouldn’t wait another five or six years to get Kap’s shoes, jersey and photo of the Time magazine cover and a photo of him kneeling. They need to do that now. They absolutely agreed."

Harry Edwards was ‘instrumental’ in 3-4 49er Super Bowl wins. Bill Walsh hired him to be their Race Coach.

Why should this scumbag be in any museum supported by tax dollars when his notoriety arises from denying the “American” part of his heritage and being less than fully “African” too? Clearly mulatto plus was raised by white people who adopted him so he’s not authentic in any aspect other than his “being down with the struggle Afro.”

A half white guy raised by white parents, is this what they mean by white privilege?

I would have liked to, but they can shove all their commie and islamist inspired crap therein. It’s a blight on all the black achievement that truly helped make this country great.

Yes, the Smithsonian does run the National Zoological Park. That would be the appropriate place for Kaepernick.

I agree with the earlier statement. Send him to the nearest taxidermist.

He likely will be remembered as the guy who killed the NFL.

Awww, Colin is about to lose another game. Too bad he didn’t lose them all then he might be eligible to be in the Smithsonian.
