Today, we announce that civil rights activist and athlete Colin Kaepernick will be joining our Board of Directors. In addition to the board seat, Medium will partner with Colin and Kaepernick Publishing to create and feature stories focused on race and civil rights in America, and to elevate emerging voices from communities of color.
I met Colin a couple years ago and have been wanting to work with him ever since. When he launched Kaepernick Publishing in February, we started a conversation and quickly realized how closely our ideals and sensibilities align. I know he will bring valuable insights and leadership to Medium, especially in this moment when the world is finally catching up to his vision on racial justice.
Kaepernick Publishing’s mission is to uplift and elevate voices for Black and Brown communities, something that has been desperately needed in the publishing space. Through this partnership, Colin will be publishing across Medium’s platform, including a collaboration with Medium’s editorial team leading Level and Momentum. He will be sharing his thoughts on anti-Black racism in our society, and Medium and Kaepernick Publishing will co-publish thought-provoking feature stories from diverse writers of color.
I couldn’t be more happy to welcome Colin to Medium. He’s an incisive, independent thinker, whose integrity has inspired so many. The world needs more of that.
Black Racists Matter.
When did this company get spun off from Small, Large, and Extra Large? :-P
What a shakedown gig he’s got going.
Jesse Jackson the 3rd.
Finally getting a paycheck
Amazing what a backup quarterback can accomplish.
Oh, that ‘medium’. ?
With a name like Medium they should have predicted he would have been such a force for justice and hired him much earlier.
WTF is MEDIUM, other than a DUMBASS company?
Blacks always need whites to do something..Anything..Colin couldn’t put this together on his own with minority groups.
blacks and Hispanics are 60% of the dem party..They can’t get a political party of their own??They have to stick with the one that whites run????..
My question to Colin....Are you able to do anything without white people helping you?????
Why would he ever want to play football again? He makes way too much money as the Perpetually Aggrieved Victim - a return to the NFL would ruin his marketability.
Why is he using his slave name?
Shouldn’t he decouple from his white privileged past and give himself a righteous name like Mustafa el Sharef?
Blacks don't have a voice in publishing. They have a megaphone.
blacks and Hispanics are 60% of the dem party..They can’t get a political party of their own??They have to stick with the one that whites run????..

I believe the prog idiots have decided that if Trump gets 30% of the black vote and the same or more of the Hispanic vote, then no one gets those votes. To that end, BLM is being set up as a 3rd party.
Don’t be surprised if that hurts progs more than Trump and if BLM excludes Hispanics. RAZA will bleed Hispanics from the progs, not from Trump.
See why I use the word *idiots*?

CREATE STORIES
Exactly the correct words. There won’t be a single truth to anything COLON does now—or in the future.
Another reject.
