Colin Kaepernick took to Twitter on Independence Day to deliver a strong rebuke to the celebration of the nation’s founding.
According to Kaepernick, America has “dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized” blacks for centuries. He further called the celebrations commemorating the nation’s founding a “celebration of white supremacy.”
Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, & are expected to join your commemoration of “independence”, while you enslaved our ancestors. We reject your celebration of white supremacy & look forward to liberation for all. ✊🏾 pic.twitter.com/YCD2SYlgv4

Kaepernick, the NFL’s original anthem protester, has not played in the NFL since the end of the 2016 season. After a long legal battle with the NFL, in which he accused the league of “blackballing” him and fellow protester Eric Reid, the NFL eventually settled the suit with Kaepernick. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently apologized for not listening to Kaepernick and other protesters. He then went so far as to say he would “encourage” a team to sign Kaepernick.
For some time after he began his protests, Kaepernick’s supporters inn the media claimed that his movement was not intended as disrespect to America or the flag. Though, in light of his determined effort to get his sponsor, Nike, to stop distribution of their Betsy Ross Flag sneakers on the 4th of July in 2019.
And, of course, his strident condemnation of America in his tweet today, those claims are not and never have been supportable.

Sounds like another half white dufus raised by a white mother who slept around.
CK is still the one on his knees before “MASSAH!” All that is missing is the real shackles, but imaginary shackles are on his mind.
And I reject your rejection you ignorant simpleton.
Your ilk rejects the 4th of July celebrations? Good! More hot dogs and beer for everyone else!
Thank you for finding and posting the greatest list of evil lawyer arguments. I and surely most good people just don’t think that way. You’ve provided a template we can hold up to determine what’s what and throw up later. Great work and thanks again.
American blacks are the richest blacks in the world. They are much richer as a group than any of the black African nations. This country has been better for lifting them up as a group than any other nation in the world, including ones with no white people.
Of course, though, in countries without whites there are no hiring preferences for even significantly less qualified blacks, no admission preferences for blacks with much lower standarized test scores, no businesses falling over themselves to hand large sums of money over to black organizations because of skin color, and no welfare programs going disproportionately to American blacks. If the U.S. was a tiny fraction of what mostly white, Marxist Colin Kaepernick claims, then blacks would be fleeing en masse.
We reject the chip on your shoulder.
LOL...when I was composing it I was so tempted to spell it that way.

Attention Whores eventually get attention they don’t really want.

There is nothing like a well paid black millionaire talking about white supremacy. Give me a break.
Colin’s white adoptive parents must be so proud!
Whiny overindulged ugly creep. I hope Nike goes out of business and anything else this animal deals with as well.
Remember when Kapernick and his defenders were saying taking the knee was about police brutality and not about the military or the country?
