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.
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. 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.”
