The former quarterback gained notoriety in 2016 when he began kneeling during the national anthem as a powerful protest against racial injustice.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, Kaepernick discussed a book on black history that he co-edited with prominent Marxists.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe the anthology effectively presents this argument, and I hope it challenges readers to recognize that racism is not the sole ingredient of white supremacy,&#8221; Kaepernick explained. &#8220;White supremacy persists because of its connection to capitalism, heteropatriarchy, ableism, and more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kaepernick left his football career in 2017 and now finds lucrative compensation for his activist work, including book editing. His current project is a book titled <em>Our History Has Always Been Contraband: In Defense of Black Studies<\/em>, which he edited alongside Marxists Robin D.G. Kelley and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor. Kelley is a UCLA professor who identifies as a &#8220;Marxist surrealist feminist,&#8221; while Taylor is an editorial board member of the <em>International Socialist Review<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winred.tomcotton.com\/tom-cotton\/defend-scotus-ads-beacon?utm_source=rc&#038;utm_medium=beaconads&#038;utm_campaign=2023maybeaconscotus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winred.tomcotton.com\/tom-cotton\/defend-scotus-ads-beacon?utm_source=rc&#038;utm_medium=beaconads&#038;utm_campaign=2023maybeaconscotus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I have long admired Keeanga and Robin&#8217;s work, as well as their unwavering political analysis and understanding that Black liberation simply cannot be achieved within the confines of capitalism,&#8221; Kaepernick expressed when asked about collaborating with &#8220;two of the most prominent black Marxists in the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since leaving the NFL, Kaepernick has amassed millions through sponsorships. He currently resides in a mansion reportedly worth over $5 million. His business ventures include a multimillion-dollar endorsement deal with Nike, an autobiographical Netflix series titled <em>Colin in Black &#038; White<\/em> that draws parallels between the NFL Draft and slavery, and a children&#8217;s book called <em>I Color Myself Different<\/em>, which celebrates &#8220;Black identity through the power of radical self-love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>players Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid kneel during the national anthem in protest before a game against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi&#8217;s Stadium on September 12, 2016 in Santa Clara, CA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1613,"featured_media":1951949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[5327,10013,6310,6311,18983,5232,3765],"class_list":["post-1951948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-activist","tag-capitalism","tag-colin","tag-kaepernick","tag-millionaire","tag-supremacy","tag-white"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1613"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1951948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1951949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1951948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1951948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1951948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
