The example was fine. Its people's knee jerk reaction that isnt.
Colin's point was, if an idiot in Cuba could figure out to spend more on education than prisons, then why cant the US figure that out?
Further, his shirt also had Malcom X on it...but few mention that as well.
Cuba is a prison, and it has a collective education of a sixth-grade class. Not hard to figure out, unless your an uneducated buffoon like Colin Kaepernick.

State/local funding for public education: 534 billion
State/local funding for prisons: 71-80+ billion.

"One thing that Fidel Castro did do is they have the highest literacy rate because they invest more in their education system than they do in their prison system, which we do not do here, even though we’re fully capable of doing that."
Help me out here, honestly, where are the numbers that we spend more on prisons than public education?
Sure, the amount of money spent on prisons has risen in % to relation to education funding. Need to legalize more things, but that's another topic I'm sure the staff doesn't want to see(political)
While its nice to slant it that way, prisons are merely a piece of the pie...you left out the police and judicial system also involved.
What slant? Dude I asked you to help me in regard to finding any more info on funding between the two. Hence the word "honestly" right after "help me out".
And wasn't CK comments about education vs prisons?
Where I can find those numbers?
Justice systems $167 billion: https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=492

In fact, a Washington University study put the total cost of the incarceration system at over $1 trillion when you add it all up: http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/...al&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share
