Hey, Guys! Love the honest reaction. Great to see yalls point of view. I want to clarify the end of the video. I wasn't necessarily mentioning Kaepernick's girlfriend because she is black. I was referring to her because she was a destructive force in his newfound "Blackness". My audience knows exactly who I'm talking about, so I said it that way. Again, great video!!

I was born and raised here..my dad was foriegn and mom was American. My dad always wanted us to learn his culture and sent us to school in his country for a year. When students asked us " what we were".. we said" both". But were TOLD that in their culture, the kid is whatever the FATHER is. In order to appease them, we said ok..but we obviously felt more like Americans. We loved our dad and in respect to his country we never spoke out negatively of either country. Colin is trying to keep his name in the news and profit from bring a " victim". And he did it at his parents expense which makes him a loser. He didn't mind hurting parents that MUST love him because they never retaliated against his remarks. They took the hits and embarrassment. Shame on him.

He said he was the best result of a multiracial union but would never deny his mom. He said that at the tender age of 18. He could wear cornrows if he wanted to but I doubt his Marine father would like that.

His dad has been an executive in several large companies, and on the board of different institutes, and even associated with the Masters of Professional Studies at Cal Poly. His mum was a nurse. So both parents worked in areas where appearance was important and denoted professionalism. Although his mum's language wasn't great, she was seeing it through the eyes of wanting the best for her child. My parents gave me advice when I was leaving school that wasn't awesome but that was a generational difference, and experience in difference industries. He has said that his parents were always open and willing to learn, so saying they were racist just doesn't cut it for me.

He said that I would look like a criminal if I had long hair, and people would treat me like it. It was bad enough I dressed the way I did (ripped up jeans and heavy metal shirts), so not being able to step out of that with my clothes because I had long hair would just compound it. This was during a time when kids were doing life sentences for murders they didn't commit simply because they were the neighborhood metalheads. Kap is accusing his parents of racism, when it is more likely that they were protecting him from racists. His community was predominately white.

I was a middle school school nurse, and the police officer that worked in the school as a resource officer told me something that I have never forgotten. He told me that the students who are little thugs and have the behavioral issues now, were the ones whose parents, when these kids were toddlers, dressed them as little thugs, gave them mohawks, and laughed when they’re swear. He said that it was always a cycle that started that way, and by the time the kids were in middle school, they had behaviors issues and diagnosis, often requiring special Ed services and behavioral health services (I can back that up). And when these kids entered their teen years and were in high school, they were now bigger than their parents, stronger, and the damage had been done. This is when he’d say the parents would call the police to their homes, expecting the police to “fix” the product of their parenting. He said that some of these kids will grow up and grow out of it as soon as they leave their parent’s home. But most of these kids will be addicts and criminals, in and out of jail, prison sentences, and well known by local PD. Time proved that he was absolutely correct. By the way - I live in a white community. This issue has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with families and family culture.

This might not be the most popular comment but as a white woman I’d be ashamed of myself if I went on national tv calling my parents racist for “parenting” me bc that’s exactly what Kap’s parents did for him. They raised him as a child regardless of color. When I was growing up I had an older cousin I looked up to. She was beautiful, popular and all the boys liked her but she hit a rebellious phase where she cut her hair short, dyed it pitch black and added a bunch of piercings. She started wearing dark eyeliner and red lipstick and she loved tight mini skirts. 13yr old me thought she was soooo cool (mostly bc I didn’t look like that) but to an older me it looked like the kinda girl a boy wouldn’t take home to meet his family and that’s a polite way of saying it 😂 My parents read me the riot act which went something like, “absolutely not, not one bit of it for one minute” and that was that 🤷🏼♀️ Eventually I realized my cousin had become someone I didn’t want to be like and I’m glad I didn’t have to become to figure that out. No, it’s not awful to do all those things but I’m grateful my parents (& grandparents) expected me to carry myself a certain way. I was taught that my behavior and appearance was a reflection onto my family and as I got older I was grateful for their rules - no tattoos, no piercings, dressing with class and looking well kept. Combined that all set me up for success. They knew something I didn’t know yet: the world is very judgemental so be careful how you portray yourself. Maybe Collin should’ve given his parents the benefit of the doubt instead of deeming them racist. He’s certainly not the only kid to be told no by their parents for the same or similar thing.

There was a time, not long ago, when it seemed like we had ALL moved past judging people because they happened to be born with a certain skin tone. As if any of us had a choice. But there’s too much power, and too much money, riding on making sure that the first thing we notice about someone is what they look like. As if that’s ever been an accurate way to judge someone’s character. But for the people calling the shots. It is. And that should tell you all you need to know about the people who are really ruining things.

@@ethanbrinkman3401 it doesn't "automatically" but for a teenager who has long hair that gets greasy quickly (due to puberty) and isn't styled in an intentional/fashionable way looks like the hair of a person who simply doesn't care about their appearance often because they are stoners who don't care about anything. When stoners choose to have long gross unstyled hair, others with the same hair will be associated with them. It's like asking why does blue hair automatically mean you're a feminist.

My 2nd son (I have 4 kids, all mixed), he grew up in the suburbs, mostly around affluent families. We were not, but most of his friends were, and of mixed ethnicities. I will never forget when he started speaking about the black struggle and his people. I was like who are you talking about? The biggest struggle you ever had was choosing which friend's house to go to after school. Unfortunately he has been a bit brainwashed by wokeness, to a degree. I, unfortunately, didn't know it was really a thing until too late. By the by... I see my kids as both, a new thing, not just black or white, but their own thing, more than that they are just my kids, beyond race. It's weird for me to think about race at all when it comes to them. Also, 2 or 3 of my kids usually are thought to be Hispanic or some other ethnicity. My 2nd is most often thought as being Pakistani or something along those lines. The whole loud race thing is purposeful and pretty unnecessary. We should just focus on being people and being good people and having values, etc. Oh, I will say, the most racism any of my kids experienced, was my oldest 2 boys when we lived in Baltimore. We lived in the hood and older boys would fight my oldest and he protected his brother as they berated them calling them white boys and honkies and were just terrible to them. Of course he didn't tell me this until years later.

My Godson is black and his grandma was my BFF who passed away 10 years ago. This infuriates me that people try and put labels and issues on my Godson. He’s an individual and not a color. His Mom asked me a few weeks ago what my extended family and what other white skinned people say about him and I being out in public. I told her the truth, my family and strangers that are white actually make over how darn cute and advanced he is for a 7 month old, that usually the only person that have anything to say about it are unfortunately black. Why do people have such an obsession about it? What does it matter? I think Colin has fabricated this imaginary argument about his parents not embracing his “blackness”. No family is going to adopt and nurture a child who are unaware of their blackness. Maybe they didn’t want him to be poisoned by the narratives that media have perpetuated? Maybe they just wanted him to be a successful man who is focused on being his best self. Culture is the destruction of black America. I’m with B Tatum on this, it’s sooooooooo stupid!

The fact Colin was adopted in the first place and given a home where he was supported to the point of ended up in the NFL speaks volumes these parents did right by him. Colin should wonder how his life would be if he was never adopted and left in the system.

@@coffeebean_ I am biracial (Indian and black) and my wife was an adopted Korean when she was 5. So screw your assumptions. There is no promises anyone will get adopted. Getting adopted is difficult so many young people get stuck in the system up to the age of 18. Living in group homes is a horrible experience. Ask anyone in the system including the caretakers and the kids. These young people (if there are not abused) feel unwanted all their lives long after leaving the group homes, since no one wanted them. This is where Colin should be focusing helping others in my opinion. Have you ever adopted anyone? I have adopted 2 kids since I can't have kids. One white girl (adopted at 6) One black boy (adopted at 8). They are my kids and race means jack crap when you have 5 different races under one roof. All that matters is making sure the kids know they are loved and providing what you can to advance their futures. Screw people like you. Assuming shit.

Just because perhaps SHE hasn't experienced it within her home or it doesn't exist in your home it doesn't mean it doesn't happen and that it isn't a prevalent issue in SOME homes EVEN if an adoptee loves their parents and they love their children, it is ok to admit that they don't know everything just as we as transracial adoptees also don't know everything, it SHOULD be worked through TOGETHER.

My daughter is biracial and was raised in a white household. At different times in her life, she’s acted more “white” or “black” depending on friends and culture she was surrounded by. I’ve been good with it all and she hasn’t really had much difficulty from either side, overall. The time she felt the most uncomfortable was during the BLM protests, etc, when everyone was trying to “see” black people and all of a sudden she felt like she didn’t fit in on either side, even though she is now in her early 20s and is cool just being her. After a few serious and sometimes tearful conversations, she decided that being biracial was its own way to be, the perfect mix of both, and she, with so many other multiracial people could actually break down barriers by just being themselves. Every race and culture has strengths. Bringing those strengths out is how multiracial people can help overcome the divide that is being pushed. The multiracial population is growing. There’s a lot of power in them to bring families, races and cultures together

Families who adopt DO NOT get money for adopting children, it actually can be quite expensive to do so be cause of the legal fees. It is foster parents who receive funds for the foster child’s expenses. Yes, there are some foster parents who are in it for the money and can be abusive and uncaring, but there are others who become foster parents in order to give parentless children a caring home. Foster children are wards of the state , usually having a parent in prison, or drug addicts and have no where to go. Fostering is temporary until the parent is approved to be able to resume custody of the child; sometimes that never happens.

The expectations of professional hairstyles affects all races. My Man is a Heavy Metal guy and for a job he had to cut his hair off if he wanted this perticular job. Some things have changed but I have had professional jobs where women couldn't wear Hair colors in their hair that weren't natural hair colors-no bold purple, blues, greens ect. Hairstyles had to be neat no dread locks, braides, punk rock wild styles ect. Until recently medical professionals weren't allowed to let their tatoos show and they couldn't wear certain piercings. I agree 100% with Officer Tatum.

Yep, at the restaurant I worked at, the men had to be clean shaven, their hair, beards and mustache had to be neat, any long hair had to be put up above our shoulders, only two ear piercings per ear, no visible tattoos, no unnatural hair colors and no facial piercings. There were only a few black people who worked there and one black guy had those short braids which was acceptable, so the policies weren’t “racist”. One white girl quit bc she didn’t want to take out her gages for work.

No doubt I have been a punk rocker for as long as I can remember and I had a hawk from 15-27 I also began my electrical career at 17! I’m lucky in that I come from a father who was the head building official and my brother was a racecar fabricator so I got my foot in the door! Eventually I moved into a lineman spot and then became a trainer and I had to grow up so my hair is still long but no more hawk or colors! It’s not something to pull a card over if one could be pulled it’s pride in that you’ve grown into a place to be looked up to and learned from by those where you used to be! Ps it’s still fun to surprise the newbies about music 😂 and see the look of shock

100%. I have worked office jobs where hairstyles were dictated for men and women, nail polish had to be certain colours or no polish at all, and I was not client facing. I started wearing a jumper to and from work in one job, not a strictly corporate attire required there. I took the jumper off as soon as I was in the building but had it on my desk. I was told to wear something more professional and given a week to buy something new. They never said anything about the guys who cycled to work and would walk around in their tight lycra though.

Egyptians are not black but they are African. The problem is that in US people has equated European with white and African with black. Though true in most cases, is not always the case. Asia doesn't fall on that because an Asian can be white as snow from former soviet union like Uzbekistan. Jewish from Israel. Arab from Saudi Arabia. Indian from India, Chinese from China, Korean from Korea, Muslim islander for Indonesia or a mix of all that from Singapore.

I know I'm going to get crucified for this, but I'd never adopt a black child. I'm too frighten of it. I know many African Americans wouldn't adopt a white child. It's fine, it's their choice. Anyone who adopts anyone deserves praise. I have friends, who are a white couple, who long ago adopted an African American baby whose drug addicted mother abandoned him. He grew up in a suburban 'white' area outside of D.C and did well in school, was raised very well, and he had a lot going for him, etc. Until he became a teen and discovered his 'blackness.' He found his black relatives who lived in the projects across the river, started hanging out with them and the wrong crowd. Long story short, his grades plummeted, he dropped out of school entirely, started using the N word, felt it necessary to carry a gun, got into trouble with the law, and is now sitting in prison. Knowing that unconditional parental love and support unfortunately wasn't enough to combat cultural peer pressure is frightening.

We have very close family friends who adopted black children. One of the things they, inadvertently, did was have strong black male and female figures in those kids lives. They were friends, which had known each other since high school (the white mom/dad were high school sweet hearts, both were on sports teams with the black couple but the black couple didnt date till later) and so they didn't feel the need to "be black" by engaging in the toxic subculture that permeates many black communities. They were raised well by their mom/dad but also their, essentially, aunt and uncle. The oldest male son is 2 years my junior and is working on a fellowship as a neurolgist (i believe), the middle daughter is married with 2 kids and helps husband with business, the youngest son is in college for a chemical engineering degree (like uncle). But I agree with you unless you have strong role models who they can look up to (not all kids need the "looks like me" to inspire them but some do) they'll most likely turn to a negative version that they think is what "their people" respect.

Why’d they let him hang out with the wrong crowd as a teen? Maybe they should have showed him positive black male role models and educated him about race hustlers and that “blackness” doesn’t mean listening to rap, being in a gang and being a criminal.

I absolutely love the way these guys use every vid they watch to debate, discuss and learn. They often have very different POV but they still listen to each other, without name calling or falling out. I noticed, in just the last week, they have 3,000 more subscribers. That shows that there is an appetite out there for their take on the world. Serious, yet not mean spirited, and with a healthy dose of much needed humour. Plus, these guys introduced me to Tom MacDonald, for that, alone , I love them to bits.
