Colin Kaepernick Donates $100K To Minority Groups
Colin Kaepernick wants charity funds donated for coronavirus relief to be dispersed to certain racial groups that have dealt with “hundreds of years of structural racism.”
Kaepernick rose to prominence in 2016 after launching a kneeling protest during NFL games to protest racial injustice in America.

Now Kaepernick has launched the Know Your Rights campaign to address “health inequalities” that were caused by “policies that devalue groups of people.”
“I’m donating $100,000 to the Know Your Rights Camp COVID-19 Relief Fund,” Mr. Kaepernick tweeted last Thursday.
“Join us in our mission to help address the disproportionate affect the pandemic is having on our communities🖤✊🏾Use the hashtag #WeGotUs & tag @yourrightscamp after you donate so they can show you some love.”
Kaepernick has not participated in an NFL outing since 2016, despite countless attempts to get signed by various franchises.
It remains unclear if he will ever play another NFL game again.
