Colin Kaepernick accuses white adoptive parents of 'problematic' upbringing, perpetuating racism
2023-03-10
[NYPOST] Controversial football star Colin Kaepernick
...Formerly a petulant quarterback for the San Francisco Giants, now looking for a job. He was willing to stand up for his principles by kneeling during the national anthem, which he had every right to do, but not willing to take the consequences, which he apparently thought shouldn't apply to him...
accused his white adoptive parents of perpetuating racism in a new interview.

The former NFL star told CBS reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
he struggled growing up in a "problematic" household, a throughline he details in his upcoming graphic novel, "Change the Game."
graphic novel, cuz his fans can't actually, ya know, READ
"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.

#20  And the name of his book is "Waugh, Also"!
Wow! If it weren't for the guys who fill the hole back up, his funeral is going to be lonely.

And then there's that other song on the flip. Mind you, I've never spoken a slur in anger in me life, and I'm not about to start now, but...

#17  IIRC, there was a game where got yanked in the 2nd because he had more interceptions than yards gained, something close to that.

#16  Why is he always called a football star?
IIRC, San Francisco was one of the first teams that really emphasized the 'modern' RPO (Run Pass Offense) in the NFL. Kaepernick had inflated numbers because the defenses weren't ready for the RPO --but the next year they were and he started his well deserved slide into irrelevance.

#15  "Black victim-hood- a noun", in verb form "Markling", as in "she was seen Markleling on CBS", the default position when the look-at-me need surfaces for a mediocre, over-hyped former celebrity.

#14  refused to allow him to join a choom gang

If circumstances were only slightly different, Colin could have been our President.

#10  Why is he always called a football star? He wasn't worth a shit when he played hence the reason he is not playing anymore.

#5  So bad that he got great college schooling, and made $$millions in the NFL.

Didn't these so called bad parents cross racial lines to seek out adopt him, provide him with the best of the best, after he was abandoned by his own black community due his birth circumstances?

Btw: how much of those $$ millions did he put back into the black community?

#4  Thank you for taking me in and giving me a home when no one else wanted me. Thank you for providing an example of a loving, cohesive family unit. Thanks for attempting to teach me right from wrong. Thank you for feeding me three hots every day. Thank you for trips to the dentist and doctor. Thank you for putting a roof over my head and sending me to school and paying for my college education.

I must now return to my paleoanthropic roots.

#3  Apparently da bro is still bitter that his white parents refused to allow him to join a choom gang, a black cultural thang.
