    Ted Cruz Retweeted Colin Kaepernick

    You quote a mighty and historic speech by the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass, but, without context, many modern readers will misunderstand. Two critical points:https://twitter.com/Kaepernick7/status/1146826827593342977 …

        (1) This speech was given in 1852, before the Civil War, when the abomination of slavery still existed. Thanks to Douglass and so many other heroes, we ended that grotesque evil and have made enormous strides to protecting the civil rights of everybody.

        (2) Douglass was not anti-American; he was, rightly and passionately, anti-slavery. Indeed, he concluded the speech as follows:

        “I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from ‘the Declaration of Independence,’ the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age.”

        @tedcruz YOU don't get to lecture anyone about their history or heritage ever. Funny, because I didn't see your tweet about Juneteenth; are you only going after @Kaepernick7 because of his Nike affiliation? Did you look into WHY he was against the flag shoe? Do YOUR research.

        Maybe you should go back and check out @SenTedCruz' Twitter account. He did commemorate Juneteenth.;
