Colin Kaepernick was viciously denounced on social media Thursday after he accused his adoptive white parents of “perpetuating racism” in an interview with CBS News.
Specifically, Kaepernick talked about disagreements he had with his white parents. Disagreements he characterized as “problematic” and attributed to racism.
The former 49er cited one incident when his adoptive mother voiced concern about his decision to braid his hair in cornrows like one of his favorite NBA players Allen Iverson.
After getting his hair braided, Kaepernick’s mother warned that his hair looked “not professional” and “a little thug.”
Kaepernick told CBS News, “Those become spaces where it’s like, ‘Okay, how do I navigate the situation now?’ But it also has informed why I have my hair long today.”
Twitter users lashed out at the NFL’s original anthem protester, accusing him of being an ingrate – and worse – for attacking the couple who took him into their homes.
Colin Kaepernick has mommy and daddy issues with his rich parents. What a surprise that he's a filthy Maoist. https://t.co/Q12tpHmKqB

So Colin Kaepernick is now complaining about how his parents were “problematic” because they didn’t want him to get corn rows.
Those same parents kept you out of an orphanage & if that’s your biggest problem you had it easy. Kaepernick is nothing more than a spoiled brat.

I really had enough of this piece of shit Colin Kaepernick. He accuses his white adoptive parents of perpetuating racism? Here is a young black boy, fortunate to be adopted, giving him everything a family can give you, & this is how you repay them? Fuck you Kaepernick

Their family is probably heartbroken over his continued attacks on them.

Everyone forgot Colin Kaepernick existed again, so he’s now bashing his adoptive parents for attention.

Of course he does.
It’s been at least 7 weeks since he’s had any attention. He’s probably starving for it by now.

Colin Kaepernick has now called the police, the NFL, tennis shoes, his country, and even his own parents, racists. Are household pets next? Maybe, maybe not. But you can’t put it past him.
