Colin Kaepernick’s movement has spread across the nation, dividing Americans on different issues. Traditional news and social media are not the only outlets used to express opinions about this controversy though. People from boths sides of the argument have creatively shown their views through non-traditional media like bumper stickers, political cartoons, clothing, decals, and more. Some examples of these alternative expressions from across the internet are displayed below. Most of the content from conservative media takes jabs at Kaepernick’s lack of respect for the US and soldiers as well as his understanding of what they believe the issue is. Meanwhile, liberal sources commonly portray Colin as a respectable hero and a figurehead of the BLM movement. Much of this non-traditional media is merchandising or political cartoons with right and left views apparent in both categories. Perceptions of Kaepernick vary greatly as evident from most of these examples. Depending on their stance creators will often only include information in their pieces that reflect and support their own views, showing that even alternative media distorts perspective to hide the full story. The media remains so one-sided to not acknowledge other perspectives because to do so would mean that they would have to have a civil and reasonable debate on topics like this. Those conversations seem more difficult in the eyes of many, but to actually debate (and we mean really debate with true information and open minds) would progress us as a people more than wallowing in our stubbornness. However, most people would rather stay in their corners finding new creative ways to blame their opponents for problems than to put aside their biases and try to resolve any issue.
