Jenkins in 2014 (Photo by Keith Allison) |
Some may
call it street theater, others may align it
with prophets of old. After all, Isaiah
walked around naked and barefoot for
three whole years, while predicting enslavement
in Egypt. Hosea was no
slouch either. He married a
prostitute in order to highlight
Israel’s infidelities.
So now we
have Malcolm Jenkins of the Philadelphia
Eagles. Rather than endlessly
answer media questions, he has
chosen to respond with silence.
His message has instead been displayed on posters that
publicize key social issues. Such issues include the disproportionate
imprisonment “of people of
color” and “cash bail.”
