    Colin Kaepernick Fourth Of July Protest Has Black People and The rest Of America Thinking

    Colin Kaepernick is taking a seat to the Fourth of July shenanigans, informing America about the horrific purpose behind the celebration.

    Colin Kaepernick wasted no time rebuking  Independence Day, slamming the ‘celebration of white supremacy’ and calling out America for ‘centuries’ of abuse against black people.

    Kaepernick took to Twitter to share the dreadful reminder, along with a video of actor James Earl Jones reciting Frederick Douglass’s renowned speech ‘What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?’

    The video recapped a series of shocking visuals. The documentary of photos of slave auctions, Ku Klux Klan members, lynchings, videos of officers brutally beating black inmates and of police brutality, racist caricature drawings and the works were reminders of the original purpose of the American traditions.

     

    ‘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,’ Kaepernick said in his tweet.

    ‘We reject your celebration of white supremacy & look forward to liberation for all.’

    Colin Kaepernick could not be more of a reminder to the United States as we have been constantly fighting for justice, with recent grievance demonstrations following the death of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.

    Roughly 15 million people to 26 million people have been a part of demonstrations to protest against systemic racism and police brutality in the United States.
