His mother is a Russo, a woman abandoned by his black father before his birth.
So who is Kaepernick?
Kaepernick was born November 3, 1987 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Heidi Russo, a 19-year-old woman who was single and destitute at the time. His birth father, an African American, was out of the picture before he was born. Russo placed her son for adoption with Rick and Teresa Kaepernick, a white couple. He lived in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, until age four, and attended grade school in Turlock, California.
If it wasn’t for the white people that adopted him, he probably wouldn’t have ever made it to the NFL. The president of his country that “oppresses black people” is a privileged Kenyan, who like Kaepernick, was also bi-racial, abandoned by his black bigamist father, and later raised by his white grandparents!
A truly “privileged” kid who was raised by white parents
His gratitude is just overwhelming
So he’s oppressed because his black father abandoned him and his mother? sounds personel and typical
