Dust Devil Colin Kaepernick
Posted on 11/30/2020 4:13:37 PM PST by MarvinStinson
Since his debut as a leading athlete protester, Colin Kaepernick has slammed the U.S. over slavery, even though it was eliminated more than 150 years ago. Yet, Kaepernick has remained utterly silent as his financial backer, Nike, employs slave labor in China to make its products.
This month, news broke that giant multinational corporations including Nike have been workinf in congress against the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, a bill that seeks to put an end to the slave labor camps China employs to manufacture many of the products sold by big corporations in the west.
Nike, along with Apple, Patagonia, Adidas, and others, was named in a study by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) that identifies 83 international corporations that use factories where the ruling Communist Party of China uses thousands of Uyghur Muslims as slave labor.
Nearly 200 labor and human rights groups recently launched a campaign claiming “virtually the entire apparel industry is tainted by forced Uyghur and Turkic Muslim labour.” The campaign insists that 80 percent of the cotton used to make clothing in China was picked using slave labor.
Colin Kaepernick has been utterly silent on all this news, even as he has benefited greatly from the multimillion-dollar contract he has with Nike.
Meanwhile, even as his patron benefits from Chinese slavery in real-time today, Kaepernick has utterly ignored China’s modern slave labor system.
Only a month ago the former NFL player was accusing American police departments of being rooted in chattel slavery. He also called the police slave catchers in 2017.
Kaepernick raised a stink after Nike announced it intended to put out a shoe commemorating the Betsy Ross flag. Kaepernick claimed the Ross flag represented American slavery causing Nike to abandon its plans to produce the patriotic shoe.

Dust Devil Colin Kaepernick
He’s just another Democrat fraud. Like the election.
I guess slavery for others is OK with Kapernick if he benefits from it.
These ‘woke’ people are in a daze. They honestly don’t have
any solid ground beneath them.
You got a bunch of lacking people who want to feel like they
did something important.

"Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 August 22, 1989) was an African-American political activist and revolutionary who, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. He continued to pursue an education, eventually earning a Ph.D. in social philosophy.[1][2] In 1989 he was shot and killed in Oakland, California. ..."
"As a student at Merritt College in Oakland, Newton became involved in politics in the Bay Area. He joined the Afro-American Association (AAA), became a prominent member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, Beta Tau chapter; and played a role in getting the first African-American history course adopted as part of the college's curriculum.
He read the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X, Mao Zedong, Émile Durkheim, and Che Guevara.
During his time at Merritt College, he met Bobby Seale, and the two organized the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in October 1966.[3]"

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey [Newton] rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Below are the names and photos of 35 Police Officers who were murdered by the Black Panthers and the subsequent Black Liberation Army in the 60s, 70s and 80s [click link for list and details].
The Black Liberation Army was an organization that grew out of the Black Panther Party, composed of former Black Panther Party members, operating from about 1971-1980. Another two police officers on the list were murdered by the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group with ties to the Black Liberation Army.
Despite this readily available information, today the internet was full of articles criticizing those who were upset by Beyonces Super Bowl Halftime performance, and questioning how anyone could be upset over a woman affirming her blackness. Their analysis couldnt have been more off.
We have no issues with someone affirming their blackness or any other identity they want to affirm. We do take issue when people pay homage to a group that used terrorism and violence to promote racism and revolutionary socialism a group that murdered dozens of police officers in cold blood.
As you scroll through the list of officers below, look at their photos and read their stories. Among these officers are black men and white men. Rookies and veterans from across the country. Most were killed in unprovoked attacks and ambushes. They all left behind families .
Perhaps Beyonce, someone from the NFL, and someone representing CBS, could read through this list and tell us if they still stand by their decision to honor the Black Panthers during the Super Bowl. Then perhaps they could explain their answers to the surviving wives and children of these fallen officers. ...
With the 49ers visiting the Dolphins this week, San Franciscos Colin Kaepernick engaged in a conference call with members of the South Florida media. However, one reporter wanted to discuss something that happened in August, when Kaepernick wore a shirt that appeared to show support for Fidel Castro, which led to a tense exchange.
The shirt depicted scenes from a 1960 meeting between Castro and Malcolm X, and it bore the phrase, Like minds think alike. Kaepernick wore it to a news conference after the 49ers third preseason game, which was when his refusal to stand during the national anthem became a major national story.
______________________________________________________________
The August evening the nation first noticed Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem at an NFL game, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback held a postgame news conference, as is typical league policy.
At that news conference Kaepernick wore a T-shirt emblazoned with photos from a 1960 meeting between Malcolm X and Fidel Castro.
So after his first notable protest against what last week he called the systematic oppression of minorities in the United States, and saying he wants freedom for all people, Colin Kaepernick put on a T-shirt that featured a supportive image of one of the 20th centurys most enduring oppressors.
This absurd contradiction between what Kaepernick said and does was only a distant annoyance to me because, although I was born into Cubas imprisonment, I dont often write about Kaepernick or his team.
a white black guy who don’t like the yellow man....
Whoring hypocrite
Not likely to be black people in the Chinese forced labor camps.
of course...nike is paying him to be silent about it.
Does that mean he is Bruce Springsteen’s illegitimate love child?
Correction: A RED white black guy who doesn’t like the NON-RED yellow man
As the elitist intellectuals can tell you, there’s ‘slavery’, then there’s ‘slavery’. It’s like their take on sexual assault; sometimes it’s bad except when it’s not. There are absolute truths, except when there isn’t. If you want to know when the sun doesn’t rise in the east, we can explain it. It’s quite complicated and you must have an Ivy League education to make sense of it.
IMO, my daffy Labrdor/Great Dane dog had higher IQ than CK.

ANYONE know what diploma /degree UNR gave this loser???
Drop dead, sambo.
Poor Krapernick (the Linda Sarsour Puppet).
How it must pain him to look in the mirror each day to see the face of a very White man desperately trying to be Black. The self-loathing must be epic.
