Ex-NFL star Rodney Harrison says Colin Kaepernick is not a TRUE black man — because he’s mixed.
In an interview with SportsTalk 790 in Houston on Tuesday morning, Rodney not only slammed Kaepernick for his National Anthem protest…but he also said that Colin doesn’t understand what it’s like to be Black because his birth mother is white.
“Colin Kaepernick, he’s not black, OK? He cannot understand what I face and what other young black men and black people face or people of color face on an every single basis.”

Update: Rodney took to Twitter to apologize & says that he didn’t even know Colin was mixed.
I never intended to offend anyone , I was trying to speak about my experiences as a African American.

Last point I want people to know. I never even knew he was mixed.

I should not have called Colin Kaepernick’s race into question during this morning’s radio interview. It was a mistake and I apologize.
