. Really? You missed my point entirely.
Colin thinks he did something so brave and so daunting and took some sort of "stand" for this so called "oppression". Give me a break. Put your $, time and effort to actually do something. Instead, he is so ignorant and stupid (along with those who fail to see how this actually isn't the RIGHT way to do it) that he actually alienates those real heroes who have sacrificed and given their lives for HIS and EVERY AAs freedom. The right for him to earn 100+ M in this "terrible" country. Financial status does not invalidate you to speak, it just makes you look stupid when The loudest statement you make is you sitting on your ass instead of paying respect to those who fought for your freedom. If you think that's some sort of brave action, then you're the ignorant one.
Sad that even our minority "leaders" don't contribute or participate in changing this "oppression" other than actually sitting down to make some sort of statement or by creating tshirts for people to wear. Sad that you think what Colin did was some sort of stand for injustice.
I'm a minority and it sickens me to see people do these things considering what this country has afforded me the ability to do and become. I'm grateful but also have perspective that people aren't perfect and I'm going to encounter some ignorance. I know how to move on from it though and not allow these folks to keep me down - I'm responsible for my actions and how I respond.
This country provides opportunity - Colin himself should be grateful after his own blood left him and a white American family took him in regardless of his skin color and helped him get to where he's at now - A multi millionaire. And yet his choice of action is no action at all - sitting on his ass.
