Good use of photo!

Whenever consumers get mad or worried about something, companies fall behind. Otherwise they don't care at all.

I thought Juneteenth(June 19, 1865) was a Texas celebration. The Union was almost 3 years late with informing them of their freedom. December 18, 1865 is when the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted. That should be the freedom day for Blacks.

Not much to celebrate as not much has changed slavery has just been repacked

This sudden virtue signaling won't rehab the NFL racist image. Kaep deserves a fair hearing and public apology.

Words, words, words. What will NFL nflcommish do for Kaepernick7? I’ll believe when I see action and $$, until then the NFL is just blowing smoke.

This young boy was with his GF at a bus stop. He was approached by a gang of black youths. They stabbed him because he’s white. This happened this week. Theres many vids similar to this. The uk is the most tolerant nation on the planet. Was this a racist attack?

Have you apologised to Colin Kaepernick yet?

We have been in the mountains of racial injustice long enough. Now is the time for change. Keep speaking out for justice, equality and love!

A good day to rehire Colin Kaepernick!

Great, meanwhile, trump is holding one of his white power rallies on the same date.

SO Woke!!

That's stretching before a match. Or not?!?
