Colin Kaepernick spent his Independence Day in a place where many people lost theirs.
The former 49ers quarterback posted on social media yesterday about his trip to Ghana, where he visited former slave trading sites as well as touring local villages and a hospital.
He posted a short video of the trip, along with the Frederick Douglass quote: What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence?

actually, no official NFL training camps right now, but still it’s obvious that playing professional football is far from his top priority... and yes, he’d be training hard on his own to be ready for the opening of camps in a few weeks, IF he really cared about being a successful NFL player.
I hope the Bears pick him up, so much upside.
“Was he paid to visit?”.
That’s a very good question.
Such publicity stunts happen all the time with better known political brands such as Obama or the Clintons.
They usually call it being paid to lobby for a cause.
This is just one of many incidents that proves he is mentally unstable. And we know he is no intellect.
The boy was raised in a loving white family who provided well for him, and he spits in their face. Must be in the genes.
America sent $298 million foreign aid to Ghana in 2015, most of which was for basic education, health, agriculture and “population policies”.
They can keep the quarterback as a tip.

Quick, deny him re-entry.
Maybe the Ghana Gazelles will pick him up. I hear they are in the market for a QB, Hope Colin doesn’t mind fumbling for minimum wage. Go Gazelles!
Collin, darling! Now that you are home, you need to stay there!!!!!
In Frederick Douglas’ day, such a statement would have made some sense, although I would have argued that he was wrong. It has been over 150 years since then, 6 or so generations have passed, and blacks that were enslaved have been free that entire time, even if they were oppressed in some places. The system worked and those final impediments were removed over 50 years ago. Our system, the one created by the founders that we celebrate on the 4th of July, is what made them full citizens of the richest and most free nation in the world. If they can’t celebrate that, we cannot be co-citizens with them. We are just two nations. That is what the leftists want, because they want to bring down our system, and racial strife helps in that regard.
Krapper is just one huge, messed up case of white guilt. Orphaned, raised by a nice, middle class white family in a white suburban neighborhood, he joins the NFL and for the first time, sees black ghetto people and looks at himself, and there is a disconnect. He joins what he thinks is their “cause” with a fervor that even they don’t have. It is classic. Dude is messed up mentally. Plus, his ISIS girlfriend isn’t helping things.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
He can gain true independence from the country he most despises (ours) anytime he wants. I’m sure Ghana and other hellhole regimes in “Mutha Africa” would love to have him.
Somebody remind him that Monica Lewinsky took both knees.
