As someone who grew up with a white parent - I think it’s ungrateful and foolish to disrespect your parents especially since they laid the foundation that helped you achieve the money numeral status in this country. I’m mixed race - and I would only honor my parents for all they’ve done for me. Both my Jamaican mom and my white British dad. He died when I was 7 and he was so good to me. He would sit with me and read endlessly for me as a child. It’s because of that - I grew up to love reading later on. Please cherish your parents - they sacrifice a lot for kids. And they deserve our love and respect - even when they make comments that bother us. Just let done things go. They are not perfect.

thats YOUR story and YOUR experience. Allow him to have his. He clearly said he knows they love him, but said some racist things. Two things can be true at the same time. Colin is successful because HE had the TALENT and work ethic to make it to the NFL. There are many middle class and even rich kids that don't have the Talent and work ethic to acheive what HE did, despite having money to pay for the best trainers they didnt have the drive and Talent. The real issue in this country is most White Americans are uncomfortable when Black Americans bring up racism that they experience. This is less about Colin and mostly about them not wating to hear about police brutality and the racism black Americans face here. If he said I'm kneeling during the anthem for Cancer, It wouldn't be an issue. It was his topic they didn't like. Let's get real.

White people see the police as Wyatt Earp or John Wayne, coming to save the day and keep order. Black people see the police as the sheriff in Rambo: First Blood. He cares about his group, so he'll arrest you for just existing, because you might be a threat. And that creates the threat. Personal note: I've never broken the law. I even drive the speed limit when y'all don't. But I've been pulled over at least 3 to 4 times a year.

He is a washed up disrespectful ingrate. Those people gave him a great life and he’s going to moan he couldn’t get cornrows? It isn’t professional. That’s what his father was trying to say. Not in the corporate world!! Where would he be if they hadn’t adopted and nurtured him? Gave him a stable home life. Loved him. Hey Colin where is the black side of your family? Bet they’d love you now that you have some money in the bank. I feel so bad for those lovely people.

[@ngonzale3]

Wow, his level of ignorance and shameful ingratitude to his adoptive parents is almost impressive if it wasn’t so ridiculous.

[@heathernikki5734]

Did Obama have cornrows? Does anyone in the upper echelons of society have cornrows, unless they’re rappers or entertainers?

[@dickhardpicard]

Well obama did have an afro in the 70s and 80s. 🙄🕵‍♂️

[@federicotoledo7543]

Well,, I've seen it all... What an ungrateful guy...

[@Godfather-rn6rb]

So where have his parents been during this whole time, while all of racist USA continues to try to destroy the child that they claim to love?🧐🙄

[@labdiel59]

His book should be called "the Permanent Victim Mentality "

[@IGOR-ns1kk]

I truly don’t see how anyone could say he did his parents dirty. He acknowledged the flaws and beauties of the relationship he had with them and the way he grew into a man with his adoptive parents. He didn’t sugar coat it like others would, he told the truth through his perspective. There was nothing he did wrong by that.

@@Promark1980 No, it's a "you" problem bc you obviously missed the OP's point. And OP, I agree with you.

He dishonored his mother and father who raised him.

He is the kinda guy who wants a drug addicted dad because then he could rap about it and be cool...

[@locochang6533]

Im hispanic. My parents use to tell me and my bros to not wear our shorts so baggy or our socks pulled too high or be bald headed because we would look like cholos. I guess my parents are racists.

Talk about biting the hand that fed you. Golly, this is terrible.

[@jamesestelle7260]

Imagine calling the parents who raised you racist.... Hey Colin, where's the black side of your family? Why aren't they there for you? You already sold this story to Netflix and no one watched it. Now you are selling it as a comic book? Who's the one perpetuating this?

[@Lilly-leaf]

Hey James, you do realise that more races exist than black and white right? This man is part Arab and part European NOT black!!! Get it right

[@helenstefanopoulos3411]

This guy has Identity issues and is determined to be as black as possibly be to prove something to himself. Instead of embarrassing who he really is which is a Mixed race man who has white parents that wanted the best for him. He's not 100% black and that pisses him off

[@munchezfonataba]

I would throw up if I had interview him, and I'm black. He just trying to stay relevant and being made up, exaggerated victim of racism by his adopted parents. I remember growing up overseas, being an exchange student and my white host parents were truly a family to me and I loved them to death.
