Colin Kaepernick rips 4th of July as 'celebration of white supremacy'
It's no holiday for Colin Kaepernick, who slammed the Fourth of July as a "celebration of white supremacy," in a tweet.
"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," the former NFLer star tweeted.
The activist, who was infamously shunned from the league after kneeling during the national anthem, paired the message with a video which combined images of slaves, police brutality, the KKK, the Declaration of Independence and lynchings along with Frederick Douglass' "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" speech, as narrated by actor James Earl Jones.
"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?" Jones reads.
"Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?" Jones continues in the short clip. "... This Fourth of July is yours, not mine."

When apartheid ended in South Africa in 1994 the new government dominated by blacks decided on a policy against the forceful redistribution of land and wealth. As opposed to other post-colonial nations in Africa they didn't permit vigilante efforts to make that happen either. The current situation in the US reminds me of sentiments in South Africa that are largely found beneath the surface. I have travelled that country twice and I was among blacks as much as among whites. Just like there are whites in South Africa that are still slavers or apartheid masters in their own minds and since 10 generations back, there are also blacks that are still slaves or apartheid victims in their own minds and since 10 generations back. Communism ? Anarchy ? Those things may be nothing more than means to an end.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
His birth mother is White, his adoptive parents are White. I think the man is insane.

Which is why they will never be satisfied no matter what you do. So you just have to stand your ground. Which is not happening. There is all this capitulating. Like the article I posted by Dr. Brown, what are you gonna do when they come after you too, even though you're in agreement with them? It's already happening.
