Also Colin Kaepernick: “One thing Fidel Castro did do is they have the highest literacy rate because they invest more in their education system than they do in their prison system, which we do not do here even though we’re fully capable of doing that,”
Also also Colin Kaepernick: Takes sponsorship money from a company that has a history of child labor in sweat shops, having their employees work 70 hour weeks, and having literally toxic breathing enviroments.
