Colin Kaepernick Accuses White Adoptive Parents Of Racism. MMA Fighter, Special Forces Vet Tim Kennedy Hammers Him.
Colin Kaepernick was a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback. He made a career out of bemoaning America’s systemic racism and accused his adoptive-white parents. This prompted Tim Kennedy, Special Forces veteran and MMA fighter, to issue a scathing response.
Interview “CBS Mornings” Information about his autobiographical graphic book “Change the Game,” Kaepernick said, “Growing up I was a — I think, still am a pretty introverted person. … I know my parents loved me but there were still very problematic things that I went through. 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 that is being perpetuated.”
Kaepernick wrote in the graphic novel that he wanted cornrows to look like Allen Iverson’s idol. His white adoptive mom was prompted to ask.”He’s getting what rolls?”
“Oh, your hair’s not professional,” Kaepernick told Adriana Diaz of “CBS Mornings.” “Oh, you look like a little thug.”
“Your mom said that to you?” Diaz asked, shocked.
“Yeah. And those become spaces where it’s like, okay, how do I navigate this situation now,” Kaepernick responded. “But it also has informed why I have my hair long today.”

Kennedy took aim at Kaepernick via Twitter and responded. “I bleached my hair when I was in high school and my dad told me I look like an idiot. He told me that nobody would hire me. He told me that colleges would laugh at me during interviews. I guess he was just perpetuating racism and didn’t want the best for me.”
My dad said that I looked stupid when I bleached my hair in high school. He said that no one would hire me. He also said that college students would ridicule me during interviews. He probably thought he was perpetuating racism, and didn’t want to be the best for me. https://t.co/u2qKnJmpJa

Kennedy has never been shy about butting heads publicly with those he opposes; in 2017, after Deadspin editor Tim Marchman blustered that he would fight any Ted Cruz supporter, Tweeting, “Not one Ted Cruz-supporting cuck/Twitter user is willing to face me in the UFC octagon,” Kennedy challenged him. It was also UFC fighter, Ranger/sniper and Special Forces Operator. Kennedy Please reply, “I’m your huckleberry. I also take note that you are a pathetic cyber bully. My email is [email protected] I’m available at your leisure.”
Kennedy took the tweeting to another level, writing:

2. I’m in a sumo suit.
