Hamilton thinks Colin Kaepernick is the modern day Martin Luther King Jr.

Hamilton equates Kaepernick with Martin Luther King Jr. Oh my!

"I know Colin and I'm a big admirer of him," Hamilton said Thursday in Austin. "What he's started, no one has done that since Martin Luther King.

"It's crazy to think, when slavery was abolished that 100 years later you've still got the same problem. People are still divided and there's still racism and there's still discrimination.

"It's sickening to think that there's so much negativity when we should all be pulling together for equality and diversity. With Kaepernick, sacrificing his career for the greater good, just that alone is admirable. That puts me on the spot. 'What do I do?' To be continued."
