Former quarterback-turned-social-justice-warrior Colin Kaepernick caused a stir right before the July Fourth holiday after somehow convincing Nike’s top brass that a patriotic shoe it was set to release represented slavery.
The radical Left that the Democrats have turned into are ignorant about a lot of things concerning the actual history of this country, and the current Betsy Ross debacle is proof of that. As you know, we reported to you earlier in the week that Nike pulled a new sneakerfeaturing the Betsy Ross flag on the back because Liberal agitator Colin Kaepernick didn’t like it. Immediately the Liberal echo chamber began repeating the Party line that Betsy Ross was somehow connected to slavery and that her magnificent flag is a ‘symbol of hate‘.
Betsy Ross was an American patriot, no doubt of that, but she was also a member of the Society of Friends, commonly known as the Quakers. The Quakers played a major role in America in the Abolition Movement, the movement to end slavery. In fact, the Quakers were one of the very first groups to oppose slavery, going all the way back to the 1600’s. After the 1750s, Quakers actively engaged in attempting to sway public opinion in Britain and America against the slave trade and slavery in general. At the same time, Quakers became actively involved in the economic, educational and political well being of the formerly enslaved.
No American flag, produced in any era, is a ‘symbol of hate’ like the low-information and pathetically ignorant Democrats would have you to believe. And having the fake news media endlessly repeat that it is does not and will not make it so. Quakers would not eat food that was produced by slaves, and not wear clothing made by enslaved people. Betsy Ross was one of those people. Betsy Ross’ flag is a symbol of America, and that’s why the Liberals hate it so much. It has nothing to do with slavery, they just hate America.
