It was only a matter of time before Colin Kaepernick got involved in the fight against coronavirus, and now we know exactly what the activist, philanthropist and former football star is planning to do.
With a video posted to Twitter on Thursday (April 16), Kaepernick announced his "Know Your Rights" fund to give financial relief to minorities who are being disproportionately affected by Covid-19. The athlete is kicking off the fund with $100,000 of his own cash.
"Structural racism makes Black & Brown ppl more likely to die from #COVID19," Kaepernick captioned the video. "We've launched the Know Your Rights Camp COVID-19 Relief Fund to directly impact the disproportionate effect #coronavirus is having on our communities. #WeGotUs"
The video includes clips of news footage showing how coronavirus is directly impacting Black and brown folks across the country.

He uses the term “Structural racism”....which to him means Whitey is the cause of all my problems.
Dirty Harry had it right so long ago as it relates to these fools...”that’s mighty white of you.”.....LOL.

Is Colin going to run an online fitness class? Online proper eating class? I understood that obesity was the underlying cause, along with its close relative, diabetes, for higher numbers of blacks.

Wow, all that kneeling and he doesn’t know what it’s best for.

WeGotUs# and $100,000 isn't going to help anyone. The clown just wanted his afro in the news again. His $100k doesn't amount to squat compared to the billions the government is spending. Leave it to the brainless democrats and race hustlers to confuse race with obesity and diabetes. Put up some real money Kasperdick.

He's half-black, half-white, and half-assed. Same as Obama.

If he wouldn’t lend a hand to poor white people, he can rot. If a person is in need, their racial background matters very little to me.
That is absolutely shameful.
