Ice cream company Ben & Jerry s have formed a partnership with former NFL backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick to create a new flavor in their lineup. Change the Whirled is a non-dairy ice cream, since Kaepernick is a vegan and all proceeds will be going to his Know Your Rights Camp organization. Ben & Jerry s have advertised the new flavor as a way to support the movement to dismantle systems of oppression and empower Black and Brown people.
The new ice cream will be rolled out next year.
I’ve teamed up with @BenAndJerrys to serve up joy on the journey to justice!
Why should former NFL player Colin Kaepernick hate America? After all, the country gave him a home, an education, and a great sports league to showcase his talents (that is, it was great before it became a platform for social justice activists).
