Colin Kaepernick says his adoptive mother, Teresa Kaepernick, said his cornrows in high school were 'not professional' and made him 'look like a little thug.'
CBS."I think it was important to show, 'No, this can happen in your own home.' And how do we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is being perpetuated."
The 35-year-old -- who led the 49ers to the Super Bowl in his second season in the league -- recalls he and his parents getting into a fight over his hair, and his mom saying,"He's getting what rolls?" Colin, who is biracial, said the trials and tribulations he endured as a teenager at the hands of his parents played a big role in why he sported cornrows as an adult.
