Colin Kaepernick and the Heat of Napalm.





When I first heard about Colin Kaepernick’s decision just over a year ago to kneel for the Star Spangled Banner, I felt certain that his method of protest would generate more heat than light. By making the national anthem the battleground on which he would stage his fight against police violence in the black community, I thought that whatever substance there was to Kaepernick’s protests would disappear in a most predictable dialogue about whether or not he had the right to protest in the way he did.
