In an interview this morning,  NBC football analyst Rodney Harrison said, “I tell you this, I’m a black man. And Colin Kaepernick – he’s not black.”

Harrison went on in detail about Kaepernick not understanding what obstacles black people actually face. “He can not understand what I face and what other young black men and black people face, or people of color face, on an everyday basis.”

Reactions to Harrison’s comments have not exactly been positive.

that's as ignorant as not standing for the anthem

Huh?

.@Rodney_Harrison you're an embarrassment to black people claiming Colin Kapernick isn't black. Please don't speak for us anymore.
