Former NFL star and activist Colin Kaepernick marked July Fourth by sharing a video of actor James Earl Jones reciting Frederick Douglass's historic speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" with Kaepernick calling the holiday a "celebration of white supremacy."
The video shows images of the Declaration of Independence, slaves, Klu Klux Klan members, lynchings and police brutality as Jones's voice narrates in the background: "Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here to-day? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?"
what a complete pr*ck!
He is rejected by more people than he could ever imagine.
f you caperdick
America is such a mixed racial country this makes no sense, He is half white. Can’t he just go to a mirror and hate on himself and save us the aggravation.
Good lord crapperdick, go away.
You’ve destroyed the NFL, why are you still around?
And, he’s abominably UGLY. The sight of him curdles milk.
Kaperdick—Beatoff O’Rourke with a sun tan.
We all choose, case by case, who we draw into our circle of friends. What we utilize as the deciding factor should be nobody’s business but our own.
LOL!
“Colin, research Irish slaves.”
The left wing numbskulls deny there ever were any.
Paperdick does not look like a PART black man. He looks like an Arab. Hmmm.
I don’t think this idiot knows how to
read. History must have been his worst
subject during his school years.
“As between 200,000 and 250,000 soldiers and militia served the American cause during the revolution in total, that would mean Black soldiers made up approximately four percent of the Patriots’ numbers”
There were between 5,000 and 9,000 black
patriots.
I would like a dozen rolls of Kaepernick toilet paper...
Not moi.
If anyone were to give me a nike product, I would return it (they hate that).
On the very top my increasingly long list of products to avoid is anything nike.
Followed closely by anything nfl, gillette, or from dick's.
We have options, and that's a good thing.
.
We reject your uncivil lust for power. You will lose.
Instead of offering reverence and praise for the 600,000 who died to set black slaves in america free, he falsely accuses the innocent with a broad ignorant racist brush.
Which gives you the freedom to speak your mind.
Idiot.
If it weren’t for the white supremacy of the US, HE’D be a slave, too.
STAR of the NFL?
Hardly.
I cannot help wondering how his WHITE adoptive parents feel about his rejection of everything they gave him.
Black ‘daddy’ who abandoned young white baby mama....
He’s lucky he got fed & bathed & sheltered.
