*Last week when Carolina Panthers superstar quarterback Cam Newton was asked about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick‘s protesting of the national anthem, he deferred to answer.
After catching a lot of heat for his actions, or lack thereof, Newton has taken to Instagram to go for a second shot. However, it’s still not exactly a ringing endorsement for Kaepernick.
“Salute my brother for making a stand for injustice in this country but…. the real problem is and will always be the people and how we treat one another! I see a lot of memes and even articles about Cam vs. Kap, are they OK? But the truth is we are good and will always be good… we all are different have the right to feel anyway we want to… and I salute him for standing (in this case kneeling) for something to if not fix the issues, raise awareness of the issues. I’m an African American that’s black and proud to the day I die and I try to make an impact in my community as much as I can. How are you making a difference? But it all goes for nothing if we all don’t police ourselves and love one another no matter what the race is! We all have to do better and be held accountable for our actions (police included)… I’m not here to talk about race, I’m here to talk about what’s right!!! And we all have to do what’s right no matter the race, age, or gender!”
