Colin Kaepernick, former NFL quarterback known for kneeling during the national anthem, will publish a children’s book about race .
Kaepernick Publishing, founded by the former NFL player , will publish I Color Myself Different, a book meant to “discuss” his experience being a biracial child adopted into a white family.
The press release stated, “During a kindergarten exercise on drawing families, Kaepernick remembers putting down the yellow crayon he had been using to draw his family and picking up the brown crayon for himself.
“This moment crystallized for [Kaepernick] the differences marked by his adoption, and how acknowledging those distinctions could encourage us all to be more accepting of ourselves and each other.”
“This story is deeply personal to me, and inspired by real events in my life. I hope it honors the courage and bravery of young people everywhere to live with authenticity and purpose,” said Kaepernick .
“I’m excited for Kaepernick Publishing to be collaborating with Scholastic on books with Black and Brown voices at the forefront. I hope that our books will inspire readers to walk through the world with confidence, strength, and truth in all they do,” Kaepernick added.
“Colin Kaepernick’s inspiring story, with themes of identity, race, and self-esteem, will resonate deeply with all kids,” said Scholastic Trade Publishing President Ellie Berger . “We are privileged to bring this work to young readers around the world for the very first time.”
Recently, Breitbart News reported that a foundation founded by the kneeler had also applauded Gwen Berry, US Olympian, who, after qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics during trials turned away from the American flag during the playing of the National Anthem.
“We applaud Ms. Berry on her bravery to stand up against systemic racism,” stated a tweet from the Know Your Rights Camp .

Black When I Wanna Be
Why are all democrats and their left wing all trying to promote racism among the children?
Are they CRAZY??
Do they want a race war?
How stupid can they be?
A black gentleman I worked with many years ago was prone to use the term ‘paper sack tan’...
Hunter Biden should color pictures for his book.
As I see it, these black athletics are all about merchandising their brand, especially if they’re no longer active in their profession. Kaepernicks found his negative press was just the thing to relaunch himself under the banner of a racial victim.He’s been very successful at doing this thus far and the revenue continues to flow into his purse.
Meghan Markle also belongs on that list.
What about Rachel Dolezal? She chose to be black, and she wasn't even half black. In fact, she wasn't black at all.
Who axed you?
A black surgeon I knew told me that the some blacks had a social hierarchy based on the shade of their skin. The ones lighter than the proverbial brown paper bag were the elites according to him. The darker ones were considered of lower social standing. He, of course, thought it was a very stupid idea.
Should have called the book “Call me a Yellow Commie”.
“You can be racist too.”
Subtitle: Why America Sucks
Sub-sub-title: I want to be a great quarterback but the white man won’t let me.
Racist Whore.
He is a black nothingness failure. He can’t work for a living because he can’t effectively do his job. He lacks the thoroughbred genes of his black peers
Well….wasn’t she raised by her black mother?
My main thing is when they are halvsies, and raised by the white side (or in Colon’s case, white adopters). I mean it’s like major whiteness but they still ID as black.
It’s true for my niece’s stud….too old BTW…who is half, and his white mother is still around, yet he acts black and IDs as black.
I guess grammar isn’t his strong suit.
Arabs have that. The lighter the skin, the more respected they are. those with heavy African features are treated the worst.
