Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

When Kaepernick arrived at the workout location, he was wearing a black t-shirt with the name "Kunta Kinte" written across the chest. Kunta Kinte was a character in the 1976 novel, "Roots," and chronicled the story of an African man enslaved and taken to America. The character may have been fictional, but the events were obviously not and Kaepernick wearing the shirt made a big statement as he took the public stage for the afternoon.

OAKLAND (KRON) – Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was back in the Bay Area to celebrate his 32nd birthday in Oakland by giving back to the community. Kaepernick hired a food truck to help feed people in need and distributed backpacks and other supplies to the local homeless. Most of Kaepernick’s charity work is done through his foundation Know Your Rights Camp. He has not played for the NFL since the 2016 season, after kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racism. He has become a social activist ever since. @kaepernick7
