[FONT=&quot]Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was among eight people saluted by Harvard University on Thursday for contributions to black history and culture.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]All eight recipients of the prestigiousW.E.B. Du Bois Medal were honored in a ceremony held Thursday afternoon by the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard "in recognition of their contributions to African and African American culture and the life of the mind."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As requested by Kaepernick, his speech at the ceremony was not broadcast live (there was a live stream of the event available). In his speech, Kaepernick encouraged further protests against racial inequality.

Harvard has gone completely off the deep end, even blocking a SCOTUS Justice from lecturing. It is official. Harvard is now an institution of the ubber radical leftwing. Next they'll be giving a humanitarian award to Kim Jung and the deans burning an American flag, hoisting the Mexican flag in its place.

Kaepernick has done a ton for the black community back when he was still in the league and then even more when he was unemployed.

Certainly Harvard has no interest in your uneducated assessment of them.
 
Meh... not a big deal, we have bigger issues to deal with than whoever Harvard decides to honor for this or that.

Kap has done a lot for a lot of people.

And if Harvard was a radical leftwing institution why would they humanitarian award to Kim Jung? He is best friends (and seemingly more) with your Dear Leader and you people worship him more than almost any one else.

Isn't this the guy that will never play football again because of his piss poor judgement? Yup it is!
 
Good for CK and good for Harvard.

In a time of universal deception, speaking the truth is perceived as a radical act.

Careful now. The right wing talking point is that he is not playing because he forgot how to play football not because of his judgement.

And this is the guy who blacklisted from the NFL because he opposed racial oppression and since been advocating for people and trying to make the world a better place.

They might. It might be the highlight of the next Harvard Comedy sketch.
 
Want to know what's ironic about this? The same people who are demanding that Kaepernick stick to sports are not telling Kanye West to stick to music and making shoes.
 
He deserves all of the accolades coming his way, just ask Ray Lewis, who Kap's girlfriend made out to be an Uncle Tom while all Ray was trying to do was get him a job with the Ravens. Now Kap's suing the NFL for collusion. Peach of a guy! :thumbs:
