Kaepernick was protesting the
violence and death Cacs commit cavalierly and premeditated— with
the sanction of "the law"— perpetrated against
Black bodies.
It is
"White Supremacy" that has been in effect in America since 1619 in Jamestown Virginia when a FREE prosperous African farmer was stripped of his
freedom and his
property, which was then given to the King of England.
The police murders of
Alton Sterling and
Philando Castile are 21st century lynchings.
There is
NO reciprocity with any other ethnic/ racial group in America, as it pertains to "white supremacy" directing
violence and death against Black bodies. The only group in America who has experienced anything close to the centuries enduring barbarism, sadism and death of "white supremacy" are the so-called American Indians.
"Dred Scott" Lives
Dred Scott
The Supreme Court DRED SCOTT decision of 1857 viewed all blacks as "beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect."
Although the "Dred Scott" decision was erased by the 13th and 14th amendments to the U.S. constitution, legalized white supremacy continued via "Jim Crow" laws until 1965. Todays 21st century police departments, with the consent of white legislators apply "Dred Scott" rules when policing Black & Brown communities.
