KAP: Black Pastors Come for Colin Kaepernick
The Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP) aren’t here for what they call Colin Kaepernick’s “hard Left anti-American politics.” They are calling on Nike to end its relationship with Kap. Colin asked Nike to cancel a Fourth of July sneaker celebrating the Betsy Ross flag. The heel of the shoe featured a U.S. flag with 13 white stars in a circle, a design created during the American Revolution and commonly referred to as the Betsy Ross flag. Many Americans agree with Kap’s belief that the Betsy Ross flag is an offensive symbol because of its connection to an era of slavery. But the Coalition of African American Pastors disagree. Rev. William Owens, a civil rights movement activist who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. says, “It has been clear for a long time that Colin Kaepernick’s views represent hard Left anti-American politics. They don’t represent most Americans, and they don’t reflect the outlook of most African Americans. By caving to Mr. Kaepernick’s negative opinions of America, the Founding Fathers, and the woman who designed the first flag, Nike has aligned itself with a radical anti-American viewpoint.” The CAAP has launched a petition calling on Nike end its business relationship with Colin Kaepernick.
