Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick chose July 4 to share a quote to Twitter from renowned slavery abolitionist, who had expressed that America was “guilty of practices ... shocking and bloody.” But a number of fellow Americans have since pointed out that Kaepernick may have chosen the wrong words to share if his intention was to question the patriotism that many Americans display on Independence Day.
The Twitter post featured a video that showed various drawings of lynchings, slavery on plantations, and the Ku Klux Klan interspersed with more recent footage of police brutality.
