COLIN KAEPERNICK VS THE FOURTH OF JULY

Colin Kaepernick, the ex-football player whose NFL anti-racism kneel protests has become a global phenomenon, has denounced the Fourth of July holidays as a "celebration of white supremacy." 

In a message posted on Twitter, Kapernick wrote: "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."

He shared a video of actor James Earl Jones reciting Frederick Douglass's 1852 speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" over images of America's history of racial brutality, including pictures of slaves and KKK members.
The speech by the former slave, abolitionist and orator questions the hypocrisy of Americans celebrating independence while millions were enslaved in plantations.

Kaepernick's reflections on the meaning of Independence Day celebrations follow the most sweeping US protests against racism for generations. Across the country, people have taken to the streets to protest against the killing of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer, and demand action against systemic racism.

The former San Francisco 49ers player sparked a wave of protests in the NFL in 2016. He took a knee during the national anthem to protest against police brutality following several incidents in which white police officers killed Black men.
