Marvel’s Sam Wilson, or how liberalism is going to get us all killed Part 01

Let me start this off by saying that I am happy to see some levels of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, the NFL quarterback who made headlines for kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality in America. Seeing people (finally) take a knee, a relative small gesture, to…
