I've compared  Mos Def song (mathematics) and (Donald Trump can criticize America but Colin Kaepernick can't makes a statement) in Mos Def lyrics ,saying "light in the ass with heavy steel eyes set on the pretty stuff in life" I believe that he was saying that black kids don't have money in their back pocket, so they have the heavy steel and with it they're going to take the pretty things they've say their eyes on. He also has the statement "budget cutbacks but an increased police presence"when a person is desperate to feed there family or just obtain the necessary things in life you take risk. So it's a coincidence when times are hard they increased the police presence almost like an ambush. When I think of Kaepernick and Trump, Trump obviously figured out how money works and with that the strategies that he will implement, this will keep a foot on the necks of minorities. I think that Kaepernick probably knows about the rich wealthy black American side and unlike Trump it's not about maintaining a status of money and power I think that Kaepernick want people to look at him and understand that he only wants the quality not money for everyone , equal treatment and equal opportunities all the same. so if i was to sum this up its rather simple for me a rich white man who is clearly feeding into a certain crowd popping them up saying what he know will hype the crowd can say outrageous claims. Where as a man like Kaepernick, does his speech or protest on a big stage where people with all types of options are subject to watch. But for everyone doesn't want to watch Kaepernick protest. So in some way or another they may fill violated, or rubbed of a good time. Basically Kaepernick wasn't private enough with his protest . Which was his whole reason for choosing going about it the way he did.
