Since former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sidelined his football career to protest injustice, he’s been very outspoken on American issues of race and slavery from centuries ago. But Colin Kaepernick is also a highly-compensated face of sports retailer Nike. And therein lies the rub – the NFL player turn social justice warrior is notably silent on the slavery Uyghurs face in China where his namesake Nikes are made.

I went out of my way to get anything with one of Nikes competitors I am now wearing PUMA apparel Michael Jack Schmidt was good enough for me. That is what I remember and that is what I went with.

Slavery of Chinese people isn’t like “real slavery”.

Hi.

“Slavery of Chinese people isn’t like “real slavery”.”

Like Whoopie said, “ it isn’t rape rape.”

I have said this before and I hope we spread this around. We made deals with China which is a country responsible for the murder of millions of human beings. These mass murders have gone on since the days of Mao Tse Tung. Even knowing this we extended our hand in friendship to these mass murderers and enslavers of people. Giant corporations have looked the other way as they made billions of dollars off Chinese cheap (slave) labor. This has been our policy for the past thirty years or so and Presidents of both parties went along with it. Who has been controlling our national policies ? Who has been controlling our foreign policy or “foreign piracy”?

A few years back we were getting pressured to have a war with Syria. The usual suspects (McCain etc.) kept telling us how evil Assad was so that we could send more troops to start still another war. Was it really about what they were telling us or did they have another motive—maybe a selfish motive?

So we were supposed to invade Syria because Assad was a bad guy but we were supposed to ignore all the terrible things that the Chinese Communists had done for many, many years? American corporations were eager to take advantage of cheap labor in China while abandoning millions of American workers.

This is the rot, the swamp and it is only a part of it. We don’t have a foreign policy we have “foreign piracy”!

I wouldn’t buy any NIKE even at a thrift shop. It is so sad that many teens define themselves by NIKE wear.

So are all liberals. Look at the dnc….nominated a woman whose family owned slaves at one point.

Imagine the outcry if Trump's family had owned slaves.

Chinese slaves aren’t black.

They're white blacks. Wiggers, or Uyghurs, or however you pronounce it.
