Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced Thursday that he would be donating $100,000 to a coronavirus relief fund for minority groups. Kaepernick took to Twitter to pledge his donation to the Know Your Rights Camp COVID-19 Relief Fund. “Join us in our mission to help address the disproportionate affect the pandemic is having on our communities,” he said in the post. There were 671,425 reported coronavirus cases and 33,286 deaths in the U.S. as of Friday morning. But, according to a Washington Post report from earlier this month, African Americans are dying at a “disproportionately high rate.”
Showing he still is relevant? He could have done this anytime I guess. But, ok.

33k deaths. One poster in past days stated 91% comorbidity. In my mind that makes for about 3,000 true COVID deaths. Just to put things in perspective.

Congrats, Colin. For a guy who hasn't worked for three or four years, you sure did a good job saving your money.
Sarcasm key off ...

He’s doing this just for the publicity it’s generating. Also because his ego is bigger than his afro.

Isn’t that the epitome of racism?

OK, if this is isn't racist, then I am going to start a fund for poor white people. And the money can only be used to help them.
Will somebody tell this vermin that his "15 minutes of fame" was over a long time ago?!?!?!?

I may not agree with Mr. Kaepernick's politics, but I don't see how anyone can say something negative about this.

Everyone knows Kaepernoodle is a former quarterback, no need to begin the article that way. Covid19 is not by any means, discriminates. Maybe, just maybe if you clean up your surroundings it will help battle this virus. Maybe if you follow the guidelines it will help. I’m part owner of an essential business and we see who takes it serious and who doesn’t.

Let me see if I understand, Roach Boy is saying the Chinese created a 'racist virus'. Aren't Nike shoes manufactured in China (like every thing else) with Chinese communist cheap slave labor. How's the kneeling working out for you, Roach Boy?

Listen Colin, remember, you have no job, you have no marketable skills, and your sfro is from 1974. Your $1200 stimulus should be here soon.
Save your money for your family or a haircut.

Perhaps the virus hit certain communities at a higher rate because of those communities choices?Not systemic racism?Nothing will change til these "leaders" stop blaming others and help their communities take responsibility.

Good to hear from you Colleen. I'd like you to help me understand my personal problem with racism pertaining to another 19th Covid breakdown: I still attempt to "run" at my advanced stage of decay going about 5 miles through an affluent community. I play mind games by counting various observations, I have found that the first sign of overdoing it when the weather gets warm to hot is the loss of cognitive function well before I otherwise know it's time to stop. So I have happened to observe how people I encounter are behaving in the season of the plague. It's been a great pleasure, people are more friendly much closer on a social level while keeping much greater distance physically. I have only encountered three people who didn't act as if they give a fig and refused to give me space, in one case I had room to give in two cases I did not, bushes fence and railroad tracks in the way. These three consisted of two women and one man. The man ignored me completely and was engrossed in a phone conversation with the wireless ear things, one woman gave be big friendly smile and one young woman glared at me as if she was most disappointed that I existed at all. You know what Colleen, all three were black. Dozens of white, brown Asian, East Asian and my favorite young lady with downs syndrome who handles her two big dogs better than anybody else on my route, all politely getting out of each others way while sharing friendly words waves or smiles.
So Colleen, what's wrong with me because I have this deep seated prejudice for thinking that people's behavior matters and perhaps the significant variable is something they control opposed to something they can't control.

Do they know why the rates are higher for African Americans? Is it the obesity factor?
