The shift in Obama’s stance on same-sex marriage is said to have caused a "civil war" in the Black church, forcing a choice between religious doctrine and political loyalty. Obama’s rise is compared to the movie "Trading Places," suggesting he stepped into the "JFK reincarnated" role originally intended for Senator John Edwards after Edwards was eliminated by scandals.
Sociologist Harry Edwards, a professor emeritus at Cal Berkeley, is identified as a primary advisor and mentor to Colin Kaepernick. Edwards previously organized the 1968 Olympic protests involving John Carlos and Tommy Smith's black power fists. Edwards describes his role as helping Kaepernick frame his contribution to the struggle and ensuring the athlete understands the personal cost of his activism.
