Colin Kaepernick - Self Expression and Leadership
Colin Kaepernick sat down while a song was being sung. That's what happened.
"I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me, this is something that has to change. When there's significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent...this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to...I'll stand."
The meaning he gave to that action was protest, defiance, respect, compassion, communication, and self expression. The meaning given to it by everyone else is based on how each person feels, what they know, what they don't know, and who they are as individuals all collectively creating a sea of opinion. Our response to an action carries a lot of opinion and that story can easily become what we see as the truth or what happened rather than it being our perception of it.
The following story is meant to share what I have learned over the last couple days about this young man's journey and reflects the meaning I have given to what happened.
