Colin Kaepernick, former NFL quarterback known for kneeling during the national anthem, will publish a children’s book about race .
Kaepernick Publishing, founded by the former NFL player , will publish I Color Myself Different, a book meant to “discuss” his experience being a biracial child adopted into a white family.
The press release stated, “During a kindergarten exercise on drawing families, Kaepernick remembers putting down the yellow crayon he had been using to draw his family and picking up the brown crayon for himself.
“This moment crystallized for [Kaepernick] the differences marked by his adoption, and how acknowledging those distinctions could encourage us all to be more accepting of ourselves and each other.”
“This story is deeply personal to me, and inspired by real events in my life. I hope it honors the courage and bravery of young people everywhere to live with authenticity and purpose,” said Kaepernick .
“I’m excited for Kaepernick Publishing to be collaborating with Scholastic on books with Black and Brown voices at the forefront. I hope that our books will inspire readers to walk through the world with confidence, strength, and truth in all they do,” Kaepernick added.
“Colin Kaepernick’s inspiring story, with themes of identity, race, and self-esteem, will resonate deeply with all kids,” said Scholastic Trade Publishing President Ellie Berger . “We are privileged to bring this work to young readers around the world for the very first time.”
Recently, Breitbart News reported that a foundation founded by the kneeler had also applauded Gwen Berry, US Olympian, who, after qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics during trials turned away from the American flag during the playing of the National Anthem.
“We applaud Ms. Berry on her bravery to stand up against systemic racism,” stated a tweet from the Know Your Rights Camp .

That’s - I color myself differently.
THE HUMAN DUST DEVIL
Dust Devil in more ways than one.
He has not played professionally since when? January 2017.
That’s over four years. His skills must be getting a little bit dusty, a little bit rusty after all this time.
I can’t imagine what a typical day is like for him.
Maybe NIKE will ask him to be their CEO, and have a special shoe for that too.
Adverbs are racist.
“-ly”
He speaks ignorant.
I don’t get it. I truly don’t get it. No words. Too tired to even try.
With highly educated geniuses like this leading the kids, how can we go wrong?
(I wonder if Colin has ever even heard of Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Larry Elder...or read a word that any of them has written?)
I love a good coloring story. Hope there’s a section on paint drying as well.
Biracial man who was dumped by his father and mother gave him up for adoption into a privileged white family, and he earns millions playing football. Yeah, he's oppressed.
Maybe NIKE will ask him to be their CEO
CEO of the race card division.
Yellow crayon? Isn’t that for yellow people (Asians for you enlightened folks, orientals for you middling types)?
And chooses to be black.
As did Obama. And NAACP leader Ben Jealous. And on and on.
Half black, half white, raised fully by whites…..chooses to be black.
Which color has the privilege again?
A high yellow, perhaps?
Colin Kaepernick to Publish Children’s Book About Race: ‘I Color Myself Different’
‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’
Even the title shows his ignorance.
And then he said “fweedom,” right? 🙄
The subject of race has to be the most worn-out topic in our history.

I certainly believe that. Because when I was in kindergarten, I saw my teacher make a math mistake. And then I thought to myself, “If an official makes a mistake when counting votes, he could throw a presidential election.”
I remember it like it was yesterday.
waiting for the whites to make a coloring book
Calling me white is racist and wrong: the many color hues of European peoples
Ivory, Pink, Peach, Light tan, tan, Olive, etc
Time to educate those that believe they hold the monopoly on race issues, get them on their heels
they want to get nutz, lets get nutz
Colon is inspired by the rainbow flag.
This guy’s biggest gripe in life can be summed up in a nutshell:
He has NO street-cred because he didn’t ever live in a black neighborhood, and he is ANGRY because he wasn’t “victimized” and has zero claim to any such experience.
It is hideous that this selfish phony fool is given the time of day by anyone.
