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.

I started off with some lyrics....
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
I accuse Colin's parents of the same.
Ah, the top sign of a leftist - it’s always someone else’s fault that they are effect up beyond repair.
Ungrateful little ........ He won a big lawsuit and some big bucks because NFL was mean to him?? Something like that.
Oh dear, HOW did he survive such torment?
Oops, that’s “effed up”, not “effect up”.
That was obiously the fault of my parents, white supremacy and Z-rays from the planet AOC.
This scumbag was never a “football star”.
He hasn’t been in the headlines for a while, so he had to come up with something...
This is it....
If the ingrate feels that strongly about it, the parents should remove him from their wills.
Reminds me of the old Dr Pepper song.
I’m a Pepper, You’re a Pepper, He’s a Pepper, She’s a Pepper. Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too!
POS
You would think that he might have little gratitude for the fact that they found him worth adopting.
His biological mother is white and the only black parent is MIA.
Why does anyone care what this halfrician POS has to say? He should just crawl back under his rock.
Most ethicists reject the theory of ethical relativism as spewed out by Colin Kaepernick. It is this type of liberal thinking that thinks is is OK to carjack cars and loot businesses. The idea of reparations motivates them. It is what causes people like Kaepernick to betray his parents.
Why are we still listening to him?
Should have left him in the gutter.
Is there anyone left for him to turn against?
