Whoever said you hurt the ones you love must have been talking about Colin Kaepernick.<\/p>\n

For the second time in less than a month, Colin Kaepernick has accused his adoptive white parents of perpetuating racism.<\/p>\n

The former 49er and original anthem protester appeared in an interview with Eve L. Ewing, who co-authored Kaepernick\u2019s childhood autobiography, Change the Game<\/em>. Kaepernick went in-depth about the backlash he received from his comments in a March interview with CBS News in which he accused his parents of \u201cperpetuating racism\u201d over an incident involving a hairstyle he wanted to get.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of responses from other trans-racial adoptees on that front,\u201d he said. \u201cJust like having similar experiences and having similar family dynamics that they\u2019re trying to navigate.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n
<\/figure>\n

Kaepernick continued,\u00a0\u201cIt is very difficult for people to have a nuanced conversation around it to be, like, yeah, the people that love you and that you love can also perpetuate very problematic elements, and those things can exist at the same time,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd part of it is, like, how do you grapple with that? How do you navigate that? And especially at a young age? And it\u2019s, like, are you equipped to navigate that and are your parents equipped to navigate that?\u201d<\/p>\n

It was important for me to share my story so that others who’ve had similar experiences would feel recognized & affirmed. Thanks for all your help, @eveewing<\/a>. I hope this inspires people to #ChangeTheGame<\/a>! Available at https:\/\/t.co\/W4D3EuaR1w<\/a> & wherever books are sold. pic.twitter.com\/W6OOhOTbfO<\/a><\/p>\n

The incident with Kaepernick\u2019s mother, also captured in his book, centers around the future NFL player\u2019s youthful desire to braid his hair in cornrows like one of his favorite basketball players, Allen Iverson.<\/p>\n

After getting his hair braided, Kaepernick\u2019s mother warned<\/a> that his hair looked \u201cnot professional\u201d and \u201ca little thug.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Kaepernick told CBS News, \u201cThose become spaces where it\u2019s like, \u2018Okay, how do I navigate the situation now?\u2019 But it also has informed why I have my hair long today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nike pitchman characterized the disagreements with his mother as \u201cproblematic\u201d and attributed them to racism.<\/p>\n

Many cite Kaepernick\u2019s attacks on his adoptive parents as ugly and revealing a lack of gratitude, and those people are right. What\u2019s worse, however, is that since Kaepernick has already publicly scorned his parents once and is clearly aware of the backlash it provoked, his only reason for bringing it up again is to encourage more outrage and draw more attention to his book.<\/p>\n

So, not only is he throwing his parents under the bus. But he\u2019s throwing them under the bus in a naked zeal to make money. There\u2019s a word for that type of person, but I probably shouldn\u2019t write it here.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
