And he’s surrounding himself with a who’s who amour of people.

“Though Colin Kaepernick continues his silent protest, he agreed to
collaborate with GQ on a special project for our December Men of the
Year issue in an effort to, as the piece explains, "reclaim the
narrative of his protest." He helped us assemble a ten-person team of
his closest confidants—including rapper J.Cole, director Ava DuVernay,
activist Harry Belafonte, and Women’s March co-organizer Linda
Sarsour—to speak on the subjects of activism, protest, and equality,
and to offer some rare insights into Colin Kaepernick himself.”

A man after your own heart.* Can you feel the loss be Harry?



You really ought to consider getting professional help to get over your
obsession about me. I don't know much about Kaepernick. I'm not a pro
football fan or follower.

It is true, however, that Harry Belafonte is a long-time humanitarian
hero and performer of mine. In 1961, I took my "best girl" to a concert
of his at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, and got to meet him after
the show. Belafonte is a top-drawer artist and in his heyday was one of
the best singers of the era. I still listen to the music he's recorded.

I also enjoyed Belafonte's talent and music. It's too bad he had to
become so political later in his life. Hard to have a lot of respect
for anyone who endorses and speaks for Bill de Blasio.
