Colin Kaepernick accuses white adoptive parents of ‘problematic’ upbringing, perpetuating racism

Controversial football star Colin Kaepernick accused his white adoptive parents of perpetuating racism in a new interview.

The former NFL star told CBS Chicago he struggled growing up in a “problematic” household, a throughline he details in his upcoming graphic novel, “Change the Game.”

“I know my parents loved me, but there were still very problematic things that I went through,” Kaepernick said.

“It was important to show that, no, this can happen in your own home, and how we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is being perpetuated.”

The graphic novel tells the story of Kaepernick’s journey from high school into his storied athletic career that heavily centers around his lack of choice in his future. His parents, particularly, tried to steer him in a direction they thought was best, which led to several fights between them and their adopted son.

One of these disagreements illustrated in the novel was a fight over his hairstyle.

Kaepernick, in an attempt to idolize basketball player Allen Iverson, wanted to embrace his blackness by wearing cornrows, but his mother pushed back.

The black baby daddy skipped out and disappeared, abandoning the white teenager he knocked up. Being abandoned by a shiftless sexual player, I suppose, is what Kaepernick thinks makes him culturally black. He actually has a point there.

His white birth mother, a teenager, gave him up for adoption. I guess Kaepernick thinks that it is an outrage that he was adopted by a white couple.

Strictly speaking, only a biracial couple would have been suitable. But I don’t think that’s what he has in mind. He’s harvesting victimology points and is riding the Blackness Express to the payoff station.

He’s been “crying” all the way to the bank for years as a
professional victim. Must have run out of football coaches to accuse of racism. One of his step brothers or sisters should write an open letter to craybaby Colin, disputing everything he said and calling him out on his hypocrisy and ingratitude.

Did the adopting parents do any sort of background check into the biological parents before adopting?

White people should not be allowed to adopt orphans of color.

I’ve often wondered if those folks had any regrets about adopting him.

Kaepernick’s adoptive parents... Exhibit A for the maxim that no good deed goes unpunished.

Wonder if he would have preferred being raised by gay parents.
