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.
UnGrateful Racist Himself !!!
Maybe he should have stayed in poverty, not adopted into a loving home… he’s insignificant now, and trying to get his name back in the public eye
I call BS!!!
He is a really ungrateful piece of s###. Should be thankful that they adopted his sorry a$$
Just looking for the limelight again. What a different story it would have been if he had never been adopted by two wonderful people who wanted to give him a life outside of foster care or an orphanage.
Should have sent him to Russia !!!!!
He is RACISM !!!!!
Can the media stop calling him a “star”. He is far from it. He is an ex NFL player at best.
Poor baby!!! (and that is sarcasm, by the way)
Man, Kaepernick’s been out of the NFL for YEARS and you idiot boomers still freak out at every little thing he says and does.
Whiny little fuzzy headed POS.
