I am utterly amazed at the things people do to express their opinions. Protests have gone from ridiculous to sublime. Their impact is as wavering as their causes. The newest "hot" issue is the Nike ad featuring Colin Kaepernick. People are so full of vitriol for this athlete that they are burning their property that bear this company image. To no one surprise, this move has triggered tremendous press and generated much business for Nike. It's sad to think in 2018 that people are most upset about his quiet, peaceful protest of the rampant violence against black and brown people. Rather than donating these clothes, their energy, and their efforts to their spoken beliefs.....they burn their own property. Breaking their nose to spite their face. Its moving backwards and causing folks a trip to the ER with burns on their bodies. Is this their passion? No, they are followers of a trend that can only dive into a deeper spiral. I choose to go high with this low level of thinking. I support Colin Kaepernick and often post with the hashtag #TakeAKnee. But now I'm adding to it #JustDoIt to continue to support him and corporate sponsors who buck trends and stand on the right side of history. I wonder what will be written about this social media episode. Until then, I will still support worthy causes and continue to reach my goal of living my best life. The purple life. What do you think? How do you feel? Leave your comments below. Thanks for stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
