Questions for Round Table
1. I want to begin by getting the temperature or temperance of the panel. How would you decide the current racial and economic climate in the United States?
2. How do you feel about Kaepernick’s protest? I have heard people describe Kaepernick’s actions as between misguided and revolutionary, do you think Kaepernick’s protest is productive?
3. In a climate in which it is pretty clear Kaepernick will not play in the NFL this year, what do you think the most productive response to the NFL can be for Black people.
4. Is Kaepernick’s fight a fight for all Black people? When I think through Kaepernick’s battle I just can’t help but think about if (and how it did) happen in the civil rights movement where Black people were denied work because of being Pro-Black. In some way, how do we as Black people work to make sure that our jobs will not be taken because of our caring for other Black people?

Before we wrap up the Kaepernick section and move on to the, dare I say it, more political stuff, can the panel briefly reflect on Police Brutality and what they think is the most productive way to resist or combat that oppression?
6. Okay, Okay, We all know 45 is in office now. It’s barely been 100 days but for some it has felt like years, can the members of the panel briefly reflect on how they feel the Trump presidency has gone? Is it living up to your expectations, is it worse than you thought?
7. In the aftermath of the laundry list of deplorable humanitarian situations facing the country today (Flint and Puerto Rico come to mind) what do you think is blocking Black community building? Is it us, is it “The Man” let me
