There is a grand hypocrisy in the 'canceling' of Colin Kaepernick, it is an American trait that the system uses to cloud criticism. Remember the 'Dixie Chicks' they too spoke out and in this land of assumed freedom, freedom only means repeat the bromides and stay away from the truth or an opinion that doesn't match the myth. Weird huh. All Kaepernick did was kneel as blacks were being killed on our streets. Odd huh. Which is worst, strangling someone to death or kneeling.
'We are being told of the evils of “cancel culture,” a new scourge that enforces purity, banishes dissent and squelches sober and reasoned debate. But cancel culture is not new. A brief accounting of the illustrious and venerable ranks of blocked and dragged Americans encompasses Sarah Good, Elijah Lovejoy, Ida B. Wells, Dalton Trumbo, Paul Robeson and the Dixie Chicks. '
