If u consider them ignorant then that's your right like it's mine to state said opinion. But I remember vividly when Colin was drafted that a few of my homies didn't know if he was white or black or mixed.

Cole grew up in the hood tho and u talking bout a rapper who was in Ferguson with the peoplepretty much... reminds of j cole, 1/2 white by race, raised in white environment get older with identity issues and wanting to be accepted sohh bad...
it's a great marketing tool at this point.
Kaep and Cole both mix breeds that go hard for blacks they black
U sound like a goofy nikka

knowledge God
anyone agreeing with the asinine idea that Rodney's putting out is either stupid or secretly white.
how are we letting idiots like @BaggerofTea say Colin's experience is different when the social media response from salty CACs has been mostly "leave this country,go back to africa n***er" just like any other black man, dark-skin, light-skin, etc.
Edit: this @Doomsday lame is yet another secret CAC.

funny to see yall getting mad over this
I read something to this effect damn near every other time I'm on this website.

Yeah that's retarded. When I first saw him playing at Nevada I thought he was hispanic. No way he could be white. But then that story on his upbringing came up and since then he's been black in my eyes.
Hell, now that he's grown his hair out, there should be no mistaken identity issue. Clear mulatto features. Especially with that curly fro.
also why do you have to be black to speak about injustice? if Asians started going ham talking about racial inequality would we shun them because they aint part of us? thats fukkin retarded
That's the funniest thing of all and probably why whites don't give a shyt about black people or black issues (for the most part). The thought process is basically "not my problem, don't care". Would applaud a white dude for doing that. But that aint happening.

this is why Rodney Harrison's point was RETARDED regardless of his apology and retraction.
I wish more people would get on him that the problem with what he said isn't that he didn't know what race Kaep was but rather why it would matter in the first place.
As black people we should embrace ANYONE who speaks out against the injustices we face. Especially those that are non-black. To say only black people can speak up on the injustices faced by black people in America is beyond retarded.
He should lose his job just for that.
Mike Freeman's 10-Point Stance: Kaepernick Anger Intense in NFL Front Offices
By Mike Freeman, NFL National Lead Writer Aug 31, 2016
1. 'I Can't Stand Him'
Across NFL front offices, there are team officials who are not offended,
and even embrace, the controversial position of Colin Kaepernick. They are out there. Statistically, they have to be. But they are keeping a low profile.
They seem to be far outnumbered by the members of NFL front offices who despise him. Truly, truly hate him.
"I don't want him anywhere near my team," one front office executive said. "He's a traitor."
A traitor?
He wasn't alone in the anger directed toward Kaepernick. In interviews with seven team executives, each said he didn't want Kaepernick on his team. This is far from scientific, but I believe this is likely the feeling among many front office executives. Not all. But many.
All seven estimated 90 to 95 percent of NFL front offices felt the same way they did. One executive said he hasn't seen this much collective dislike among front office members regarding a player since Rae Carruth. Remember Rae Carruth? He's still in prison for the plot to murder his pregnant girlfriend.
Personally, I think the dislike of Kaepernick is inappropriate and un-American. I find it ironic that citizens who live in a country whose existence is based on dissent criticize someone who expresses dissent.
But in NFL front offices, the feeling is very different.
"He has no respect for our country," one team executive said. "F--k that guy."
Another said that if an owner asked him to sign Kaepernick, he would consider resigning, rather than do it.
There could be some executives who have no issue with Kaepernick, but I doubt there are many. Each executive said he believes Kaepernick will likely get released by the 49ers—and never play in the NFL again.
That is one of the main themes here. Like these executives, I feel we won't ever see Kaepernick play for another NFL team. There is precedent for this. Chris Kluwe, a former Vikings punter, said on CNN this week he believes he was banned from the NFL for expressing his views on gay rights.
When challenged that Kaepernick didn't break a law, or an NFL rule, and that it's his right to sit during the anthem, the response, consistently, was that it's also a team's right to not sign him. And to also dislike him.
Why? It seems the executives feel this way because they believe Kaepernick to be un-American. They also don't believe he appreciates what he has. Many of them pointed to Kaepernick's salary and said he would never make that kind of money if not for football.
"In my career, I have never seen a guy so hated by front office guys as Kaepernick," one general manager said.
This is a league that has signed domestic abusers, accused murderers, players who killed another person while driving drunk and dudes who park in handicap spaces. But Kaepernick is the most hated person he's ever seen? A non-violent protest? Really?
Yes, apparently, really.
2. Kaepernick's Days in S.F. May Be Numbered
One last thing on Kaepernick from these team officials: They think it's only a matter of time before the 49ers release him because of external pressure. Not because Kaepernick isn't close to the player he was, but because, to the 49ers, he's become radioactive.
Their belief is that the team will wait a bit, maybe a week, for the controversy to quiet (a bit—it's only going to quiet so much in a week) and then release him.
I've heard from people close to Kaepernick that he fully expected to be released by the 49ers once everyone became aware of his actions, and he also knew his football career would be in jeopardy. I've also been told Kaepernick would then dedicate his life to one of social activism.
3. All Quiet Across NFL Locker Rooms
This is anecdotal, but several players tell B/R NFL locker rooms are handing this issue differently. Some players are having calm, rational discussions about it. Others, I'm told, are mostly avoiding the topic entirely, so there are no fights, or arguments, really. And no arguments that could lead to literal fights.

You guys arguing for Rodney saying Kap looks like a certain nationality are missing the fukkin obvious notion that his stance and his protest give it away.
Context clues gentlemen should answer it, even if your too lazy to fukkin google the shyt.

Of course they hate him.
x100I wonder why. :mjdrinking:
He is bucking the system.
These are the times when there needs to be at least one black majority owner in the NFL.
I wonder when that is going to happen.
