Topic	Happy Black History Month! ~ Colin Kaepernick completes his $1,000,000 pledge!
Saquon--Barkley 02/01/18 12:38:26 PM #1:	The Bay Area's biggest star athletes have come together for a charitable cause. Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced Wednesday the completion of his $1 million charity giveaway in which he gifted $100,000 each month to various community-action and social-justice organizations. Kaepernick was able to reach his goal thanks, in part, to Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, who donated $10,000 each. I dont want to hear from anybody thats criticizing what hes doing with that million dollars, Curry said, via the San Francisco Chronicle. You can disagree with him, you can disagree with his kneeling and that whole journey, or anything he said. But the fact that hes putting his money where his mouth is and going to communities and actually helping, not just talking, anybody who wants to criticize that can go somewhere else with that. Durant echoed Curry's praise, adding he can appreciate Kaepernick shedding light on harsh realities that are often overlooked. There are a lot of people that want to be in the dark about who they are and what they believe in. They want it to stay in the dark, Kevin Durant said. So I think he kind of brought everything to light. And a lot of people that he uncovered some truths about, they hate him. And the people that love him enjoy that hes kind of been a whistler-blower for some of that stuff. Its a conversation we need to have, and maybe hes uncovering some stuff thats going on in the higher-ups and front offices and the executives, that people dont want to hear about. I love what hes doing. Hes taking the brunt of the punch for everybody who believes what hes standing up for. So all power and respect to him. --- WE ARE!
