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.

Re: 14 - Wow, what a crappy thing to do to step-parents who loved him like their own child.

He comes off as being vindictive and ungrateful.

He’s harvesting victimology points and is riding the Blackness Express to the payoff station.

The career length of most professional football players is short. He beat the long odds and successfully transitioned to a new, even more lucrative career, emptying the pockets of mentally damaged leftists that need to be lied to. We're not buying what he's selling, but he welcomes our American Spirit anti-endorsement.

Well, they did raise a douchebag, so…

[Paal Gulli]

His adoptive parents are heartbroken (that they didn’t pick the Korean orphan).

[gathersnomoss]

Go away.

[Organic Panic]

POOOR COLON. Such a racist country white parents adopt him and he made millions of dollars chasing a ball. And when he couldn’t chase a ball for millions he went on to get millions for wearing sneakers.

OH poor baby.

Everybody is racist Everybody is racist You're racist, they're racist, the cops are racist, football is racist, the streets are racist, construction workers are racist, my mom is racist, my dad is racist, my food is racist, the air is racist, shoes are racist, food is racist, racing is racist, la la la

LOL I picture it being something like the “Everybody Has AIDS” song in “Team America.” 😄

Krapernick is such a tool.

Maybe he would have liked to be raised by a single crackhead mother in the getto with 11 siblings, all with different “dads”. Then be could have been addicted to drugs in gradeskrool, and been shot by someone in the hood before he was 15. Then he wouldn’t have had to suffer any of the “racism” of two loving, stable parents. And none of us would have had to suffer ever seeing his whining attitude.

He's such a raving pu$$y. It's too bad he didn't grow up in the state foster care system. Then he could have put his hair in pigtails if he wanted to. He wouldn't have been so lucky if he was a ward of the state. His adoptive parents must be asking themselves how they raised such an ungrateful asshole. He was raised as a child of privilege but now he doesn't feel like an authentic black person. He's still a fraud no matter what he says or does. He's whiter then Joe Biden.

[sauropod]

Exhausting.

Actually, I think its time for a Colin Kaepernick Chia Pet.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

What a pathetic ingrate punk!

Faye Dunaway played a totally insane and possessed P-sycho in that one.
