Ah, Netflix. Colin Kaepernick has a new special on Netflix called “Colin in Black and White,” which in the words of NPR’s reviewer, “shows a star athlete reaching toward Blackness.” The critic notes that the special “delivers its message with storytelling subtle as a sledgehammer.”
Check out this segment in which Kaepernick segues from NFL training camp to a slave auction, and then has the auctioneer shake hands with the coach to bridge the gap in time.
In his Netflix special, Colin Kaepernick suggests the NFL training camp is synonymous with literally buying slaves.

There is so much wrong with this. Kaepernick and Netflix are a joke.

Share this, before Netflix has Twitter take it down. It’s too embarrassing for them.

Is there any wonder why no one wanted to pick him up? Can you imagine dealing with this amount of woke insanity? Kaepernick has lost his mind.

I can't imagine why no NFL team wanted to sign this guy. https://t.co/XAVg4qSglz

I dont think slaves got paid millions and could quit but okay

I’m guessing the inclusion on free will and it being an invite only situation changes the dynamic slightly.

White football players don't exist in this narrative.

I don’t recall people going to great lengths to train and sacrifice for the chance to become slaves, hoping and praying that they will be good enough to make the cut.

And yet, he was willingly and perfectly OK in participating in it as an athlete

So what he’s saying is that, by refusing to sign him, NFL teams were actually setting him free?

So it's sort of like a job interview for a job that pays millions?

I thought this was a parody at first

This ratio will be delicious

I almost turned it off at this point but continued watching.

Plot twist, white people also get their wingspan measured.
I win.

So the guy whose main source of income comes from actual slave laborers in China has a problem with slavery?

Compare this with troop inspections in the military. The grunts, independent of race, make a lot less than top players of the NFL. Is that also like buying slaves then?
No. The analogy in either case is superficial only and very much construed.

Is this real?

We’d honestly have our doubts, but NPR’s critic writes that “Kaepernick sets the tone early, speaking ominously while visual images morph from Black professional athletes examined by white coaches and team doctors to slaves getting a once over from white men selling them at auction.”
Didn't stop him from holding open workouts with NFL brass
— Touchy Funseeker (@SupDenman) October 30, 2021
Did he not literally sue the league to play?

You can’t make this nonsense up even if you try. This is straight up lunacy.
— Bobby Axelrod (@OnlyCharles_) October 30, 2021
Why would a slave train his entire life to be in peak physical condition to be bought and sold? Makes zero sense.
— Lobster Hunter (@dirkdigglr87) October 30, 2021
It was so terrible that he participated in it for 5 years, and was willing to sue to get back into this “slave system.”
— JayA1917 (@A1917Jay) October 30, 2021
It’s a good thing he was able to escape when he did.
