In an article condemning Kaepernick as a fraud, Whitlock presents a little uncomfortable history I thought the hammered intellects on the left here might enjoy:
What To The Intelligent Is Colin Kaepernick? A Fraud
by Jason Whitlock
Frederick Douglass interpreted Jefferson’s declaration as the blueprint for emancipation. Yes, Jefferson owned slaves. But Jefferson, George Washington and several other Founding Fathers recognized the immorality of slavery and planted the seeds for its removal in the Declaration of Independence.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
At the time of this nation’s founding, slavery was a global sin committed by black, white, brown and yellow sinners across the planet. Black people in Africa owned white (and black) slaves. Black people in America, as early as the 1600s, owned black (and white) slaves. That’s not a typographical error. Black people in America owned black and white slaves.
The United States of America, because of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, was actually a global leader in abolishing slavery. As writer and historian Thomas Sowell has repeatedly pointed out, long after the U.S. Emancipation Proclamation, blacks in Northern Africa still bought, sold and utilized white slaves.
Slavery was a global phenemenon. Economies were reliant on it. You couldn’t just snap your fingers and make that kind of global tradition go away. The world still hasn’t rid itself of slavery.
