‘Black Liberation Simply Isn’t Possible Under Capitalism’

surprise, surprise
Colin Kaepernick Says He Joined With Marxists To Edit New Book Because ‘Black Liberation Simply Isn’t Possible Under Capitalism’
In an interview with the New Republic, Colin Kaepernick defended partnering with prominent Marxists to edit a new pro-Black studies anthology because “Black liberation simply isn’t possible under capitalism.”
The former NFL quarterback, known for taking a knee before the National Anthem to protest racism in the United States, made the statement to journalist Indigo Olivier. In the interview, Kaepernick promoted the new book he helped edit called, Our History Has Always Been Contraband: In Defense of Black Studies. The book features writing by W.E.B. Du Bois, Angela Davis, and Bobby Seale, among others.
Kaepernick, along with editors Robin D.G. Kelley and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, also penned essays for the book. Olivier pointed out that Kaepernick worked with “two of the most prominent Black Marxists in the country,” and that the book featured writers who were nearly all anti-capitalists.
“I’ve long admired Keeanga and Robin’s work as well as their uncompromising political analysis and understanding that Black liberation simply isn’t possible under capitalism,” Kaepernick said of his fellow editors. “I think the anthology makes this argument quite well, and I hope it challenges readers to see that racism is not white supremacy’s only ingredient. White supremacy persists in part because of its relationship with capitalism, heteropatriarchy, ableism, and so on.”

Thanks for making clear what we already knew. You are an enemy of America and of the Enlightenment Principles upon which America was founded.

Like most useful idiots, he thinks he would be one of the leaders, not the ruled.

I wish I had the freedom to get paid to be a political whore when I couldn’t hack it in the NFL anymore.

Liberation of hard working black people who make wise decisions is almost certain under Capitalism.
Liberation of hard working white people who make wise decisions is almost certain under Capitalism.
Liberation of lazy, short sited, foolish people of every race unlikely under Capitalism.
Liberation of the political elite (2%) under Marxism is certain.
Liberation of the rest of Americans (98%) under Marxism. Never.
In America it does not matter your race. The only thing that matters is hard work, wise decisions, and long term planning.

Don't be surprised when juneteenf is pushed as the true "black independence day" by the black supremacist marxists in a few years.
Actual Independence Day on 4th of July will be deemed racist and not able to be celebrated the way we are use to by leftie/black run cities, which will move that celebration to juneteenf.
Only positive is that the gheys are getting screwed during their month.

There is already a push to call it Freedom Day.
It’s coming, and the proximity to July 4th is 100% part of the reason why June 19th suddenly shot up to prominence during the 2020/2021 racial pandering contest.

So true. White people need to start responding to all these race baiters on Twitter with...
"You are welcome" - White people or "Don't forget to thank a white person today" (for creating the system that allowed them to succeed in something like sports)
