During an interview with NBC News' Lester Holt, activist and former football player Colin Kaepernick describes what it felt like for him to grow up as a Black child adopted by a white family. Watch the extended interview on the NBC News app or NBCNews.com.

Colin Kaepernick was adopted and raised by white parents, yet somehow he’s been convinced that the color of his skin should dictate his culture, role models, and identity. Your skin color doesn’t define who you are—your character, values, and choices do.

Colin Kaepernick says MAGA Republicans have used his Autopsy Initiative and walked away surprised by their experience. “While we may have different political beliefs, I still believe you should have justice.” “It doesn’t matter if you’re a MAGA Republican. To me, you should get justice. You should have transparency and clarity.” Listen to the full episode now on the MeidasTouch Podcast or watch on YouTube.
