While Colin has every right to do what he did, it's a poor choice IMO. He could have done more -- like start movement, contribute his personal time to his passionate beliefs and even more of a statement, his $$$ too! I'm a firm believer in 'put your money where your mouth is' and at best, all he's done is start a conversation. So Colin, what's your plan to effect real change instead of just starting a conversation?
People who start conversations usually don't have any solutions. People who have solutions usually just do it, lead by example and others soon follow (Ali, Robinson, etc). So how about Colin, can you lead by example or just shout from a megaphone? |
YOU. NAILED. IT.
If he is truly outraged by this type of "oppression" why is he not in Louisiana right now helping the many who have lost their homes due to flooding, most of them being AA. I dont have patience for this type of rhetoric. He can stand in his palace and throw stones
