so you believe and repeat anything - esp w/o credible sourcing?

reframe #2: do you know or understand logistics of splc n similar purposed ngo-s ?
1. I don't believe shit without a credible source. But apparently ya'll do. ALL of the lawyers representing these families are black. Kaep hired White lawyers to represent him for protesting against police brutality against blacks, and got paid. Not one black person on the squad. not one.

2. SPLC records are public information. Damn near every NGO is on Morningstar. He didn't drop a dime. prove me wrong.

Colin Kaepernick's All Smiles with His Legal Team After NFL Settlement
COLIN KAEPERNICKALL SMILES AFTER NFL SETTLEMENT

2/16/2019 11:43 AM PT

The settlement is confidential, but Colin Kaepernick sure looks happy the day after striking a deal with the NFL.
Colin posed with his legal team -- led by Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas -- early Saturday morning with a big ol' smile on his face.
There are reports the settlement could be close to $100 million, but so far nobody is saying anything.
As we previously reported ... Colin agreed to end his suit against the NFL, in which he accused team owners and league officials of colluding to keep him off of an NFL roster because of his kneeling demonstration.
Colin filed the suit back in 2017 and deposed some of the most famous and important people in the NFL -- including Jerry Jones and Roger Goodell -- but now that CK has agreed to drop it, the public will likely never know what they said in those depos.
Kap has come under fire from critics like ex-NFL star Larry Johnson who says he is a "sellout" -- because they believed his case against the NFL was more about exposing racism than reaching a fat settlement.
Colin hasn't addressed his critics -- and likely won't -- but his smile speaks for itself.

please reread my previous post - your reply to #2 has nothing to do with my question... nor my op

iirc you are a lawyer...
so please explain what relevance does Kap's choice in hiring of labor, sports/ entertainment attnys in his past dispute
vs
protesters in need of criminal n civil rights lawyers this week?

thats an incredible leap of logic I usually only encounter from women...

To be clear, you have the right to choose who you want to represent you. But the lawyers taking on these cases get very little money after lots of time and effort and he's raising money for who? How much money do you think those white boys in Georgia have for a civil suit? At least put ONE brotha one the team...but no....

Ok, are there black lawyers that could represent the victims? Or is your money going to the SAME MUTHAFUCKIN WHITE LAWYERS THAT HELPED LOCK THEM UP????

that’s not relevant. If your protester and need representation, the bigger issue is to get them representation. fuck are you taking about the same lawyers that locked them up?

Same dude that ran Kenny Stills out of town, and used JayZ records to taunt him, referencing how Jay Z decoded to say "we moved on from kneeling".

But cool he said something I guess. He doesn't need a backup QB (Kaep and Cam, both Black, at the house chilling).

Yeah I KNOW...

I'm hoping maybe after all the backlash he wised up?

Brian Flores: People with loud opinions on Colin Kaepernick are silent on George Floyd
Posted by Mike Florio on May 29, 2020, 3:58 PM EDT

Dolphins coach Brian Flores has become the first NFL coach to issue a statement on the murder of George Floyd. And it is a powerful one.
The statement, provided to ESPN.com, points out the inconsistency between those who have loud opinions on issues like Colin Kaepernick’s anthem protest and devices for incentivizing the hiring of minority coaches but who remain quiet, relatively speaking, on the killing of African-Americans by police.
“I’ve had the privilege of being a part of many different circles that have included some very powerful and influential people of all different races and genders,” Flores said. “The events of the last few weeks have brought some of the memories of those conversations back to light. I vividly remember the Colin Kaepernick conversations. ‘Don’t ever disrespect the flag’ was the phrase that I heard over and over again. This idea that players were kneeling in support of social justice was something some people couldn’t wrap their head around. The outrage that I saw in the media and the anger I felt in some of my own private conversations caused me to sever a few long-standing friendships.
“Most recently, I’ve had conversations about incentivizing teams for hiring minorities. Again, there was some outrage in the media and talks that this would cause division amongst coaches, executives and ownership. I bring these situations up because I haven’t seen the same OUTRAGE from people of influence when the conversation turns to Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and most recently George Floyd. Many people who broadcast their opinions on kneeling or on the hiring of minorities don’t seem to have an opinion on the recent murders of these young black men and women. I think many of them QUIETLY say that watching George Floyd plead for help is one of the more horrible things they have seen, but it’s said amongst themselves where no one can hear. Broadcasting THAT opinion clearly is not important enough.
“I lead a group of young men who have the potential to make a real impact in this world. My message to them and anyone else who wants to listen is that honesty, transparency, and empathy go a long way in bringing people together and making change. I hope that the tragedies of the last few weeks will open our hearts and minds to a better way of communicating and hopefully create that change.”
Change definitely is needed. The decision of the coach of an NFL team to issue such a strong and heartfelt statement underscores that the time has come for reform, for better training, for more prudent use of lethal force by law enforcement.
If the murder of George Floyd doesn’t spark that change, what will? Here’s hoping that influential voices in the NFL and other aspects of society continue to call for change, ignoring the stick-to-sportsters who presumably (and inexplicably) prefer the status quo.
