Former NFL quarterback Colin Kapernick accused his adoptive parents of "perpetuating racism" in an interview that aired Thursday.
Kaepernick talked about coming to terms with his racial identity while growing up in a White family in his new graphic novel, "Change the Game." The former football player recalled disagreements with his parents that he attributed to racism, calling his upbringing "problematic."
"I know my parents loved me. But there were still very problematic things that I went through," the biracial quarterback said to CBS News.
"I think it was important to show that, no, this can happen in your own home, and how we move forward collectively while addressing the racism

Gee, no teenager, other than Kapernick, EVER argued with their parents about their choices.

Colin will cost a lot of black kids the opportunity to be adopted by anyone other than a black.

In my opinion, ingratitude is the worst of sins, involving the First and Fifth Commandments. None of us had perfect parents. But our parents were totally dedicated to us, and would not have tolerated outsiders putting idiotic ideas into their children's lives. Growing up, I was never taught to hate others on the basis of appearance. Now in my seventh decade of life, I still believe the same.
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
Wisdom for the ages.

What a complete total selfish cruel assh*le. He is a total colon for sure. Turning on the loving parents who adopted him and gave him a loving home and now he turning on them because he judges himself on his skin color.. My condolences to his parents and don't blame yourself folks you did all you could.. This dirtbag deserves our total disdain and contempt.

Poor poor Colin. Nobody ever had it worse than he did. Making a whole career out of whining. Kind of reminds me of Harry.

Obama opened this door. Perhaps he would’ve preferred the poverty-stricken life he could’ve had with a single mother. I hope his adoptive parents cut this ingrate out of their will.

My three younger brothers were teen-agers in the early 70's. One of them ran away from home when my parents told him to get a haircut. Another one came home with about an inch cut off and when my parents started yelling at him he told them the barber said it was 'unhealthy' to cut too much off at once and they believed him. When my mom told me that several years later I started laughing so hard she got really angry at me and I thought she was about to throw something at me.
So, have your poor pity party Colin, while everyone is laughing at you.

"I know my parents loved me. But there were still very problematic things that I went through,"
That sentence begins and ends with “I”.
Just a guess from an old white lady, who was once a teenager many years ago, that appears to be much more “problematic” than any racism by his white parent. Racism is not a skin problem. It’s a heart problem. (Matthew 15:17-19)
He acknowledges that his parents always loved him.
But, considering everything Colin’s name brings to mind since it first became known publicly, it’s easy to see that Colin was probably a perfect child who never caused a moment’s problem for his flawed & ignorant, albeit loving, parents.

Orphanages are full of kids who would like to be adopted. His parents should have taken him back to the orphanage and got someone else.

Sick creep trying once again to make a buck. Go hang out with your real parents, but I have a feeling they still don't want you. You had a home, food and could go to school. So, there were problems. Really? Show me a growing kid who does not have home/parents problems.

After Harry and Me-again grabbed the victimization limelight by griping about his family experiences while growing up, Kaep apparently felt obligated to up his game and whine about HIS upbringing. Good grief; just go away, already.
Several spot on comments here, especially #1.

Maybe back when kapernick was growing up, braids on black men were considered thuggish. Doesn't mean it was racist. Stop judging things from years ago by today's woke standards. And don't forget Colin, you are 1/2 white. Stop being such a martyr and victim. You are the only one treating you like a victim.

Poor, abused CK. He should have heard the falderal when our elder son came home with one pierced ear. Dad yelled: "There are only two kinds of men who wear an earing, a queer or a weirdo and I know you're not queer!" LOL! Honour your Father and Mother, Colin, they saved you.

Cry me a river, Colin! Maybe your birth parents wouldn’t have talked about your hairstyle, but what else did they do for you? Your adoptive parents chose to raise you and gave you an amazing home and upbringing. Count your blessings!
