Colin Kaepernick has been silent as his benefactor Nike battles to protect
forced labor by Uyghurs in its Chinese factories.

Since former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sidelined
his football career to protest injustice, he’s been very outspoken on
American issues of race and slavery from centuries ago. But Colin
Kaepernick is also a highly-compensated face of sports retailer Nike. And
therein lies the rub – the NFL player turn social justice warrior is
notably silent on the slavery Uyghurs face in China where his namesake
Nikes are made.

Nike Uses China’s Forced Labor
China has detained Uyghurs and used them in forced labor. The Uyghurs are
a Turkic-speaking Muslim minority in China. This human atrocity is
happening in the Xinjiang region of China where Nikes are made.

China’s forced Uyghur labor is an ugly practice. One very similar to the
pre-Civil war practices that Kaepernick and his fellow social justice
warriors believe completely soils American exceptionalism.

Except, rather than happening in the 19th century, it’s happening right
now in China. The difference appears to be that Kaepernick is profiting
from it since Nike, who has given him a windfall of cash, uses Ugyhur
labor.

Colin Kaepernick takes a knee to protest American Systemic Racism while
wearing shirts, pants, headbands, sweatshirts, and shoes manufactured in
@NIKE Communist Chinese Party Uigher slave labor camps… Makes total sense.

Nike and other companies have been attempting to block or weaken a bill
that would block the import of goods made in Xinjiang unless the companies
could prove forced labor was not used to manufacture them.

Nike and other companies have been attempting to block or weaken a bill
that would block the import of goods made in Xinjiang unless the companies
could prove forced labor was not used to manufacture them.

So far, those lobbying issues have failed.

The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act passed the House of Representatives
by a vote of 406-3 and is heading to the Senate.

Kapernick’s Silence On Modern-Day Slavery
This is modern-day slavery. Rather than talking about what is happening
right now, Kaepernick wants to focus on the past here in the United
States.

In this case, money appears to be buying the failed quarterback’s silence.

Nike used Kaepernick’s picture in an ad saying, “Believe in something,
even if it means sacrificing everything”. He has embraced that motto but
he refuses to sacrifice his paycheck from Nike for their use of forced
labor.

Kaepernick portrays himself as a victim who has been denied employment
from professional football. He is not entitled to a contract even though
he has been offered that opportunity through tryouts and failed.

Meanwhile, he is benefiting from people who have no choice in their
employment matters and are thrown into modern-day slavery to make the
products that help fill his bank account.

It’s a classic example of hypocrisy, but much worse. Misery and forced
labor are part of the daily life of Ugyhurs. And, this appears to be
acceptable to Colin Kaepernick.
