Colin Kaepernick's Life to Become Netflix Series From Ava DuVernay

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “Colin in Black & White” will be a scripted, six-episode series examining “Kaepernick’s adolescent life, focusing on his high school years and the acts and experiences that led him to become the activist he is today.”

Kaepernick will appear as himself, executive produce, and narrate the series. An actor will be cast to play a young Kaepernick.

Emmy nominee Michael Starrbury will write the script and serve as executive producer alongside DuVernay and Kaepernick.

Is he a homophobe?

R2 why is this your first question? What does that have to do with ANYTHING?

Who will play Drew Brees and who will play Drew Brees’ mole?

R3 It's my first question because I don't want us to elevate a homophobic football player, regardless of whatever other strides in activism he's made.

R6 this has nothing to do with you. Nothing. Get over yourself for a minute.

I thought he was adopted by a wealthy, white country club Connecticut family.

R7 Then why is it on the Datalounge and not on Lipstick Alley?

R9 MOVE ALONG RACIST. GO AWAY.

R8 yes. He was.

So Ava has the lead?

R15 Everyone knows who Kaepernick is, his attention whore antics have made sure of that.

What does him being raised in a white household have to do with anything?

by Anonymousreply 17July 1, 2020 12:02 AM

R17 it doesn’t but based on r3 s post History, black = homophobe and white = impossible you be a homophobe. So with that mindset a half white man raised by two white people most likely wouldn’t be a homophobe (even though in the REAL WORLD there are millions of white homophobes).

R2 He is paunfully dull and was a showboating moron while at the University of Nevada.

by Anonymousreply 19July 1, 2020 12:09 AM

I totally support him and I think he's a beautiful man but is his story all that interesting?

by Anonymousreply 20July 1, 2020 12:13 AM

I'm surprised by the comments here. I think this sounds like an interesting project.

R21 why would you be surprised by racists being racist?

by Anonymousreply 22July 1, 2020 12:16 AM

R22 Oh please. Ava is a dull cunt.

by Anonymousreply 23July 1, 2020 12:17 AM

What about a series about that gay football player? Sorry, I forgot his name.

by Anonymousreply 24July 1, 2020 12:19 AM

Well, given Ava's track record of erasing historically accurate non-Black people out of her movies (see Selma), she'll probably re-write Kaepernick's childhood to have been raised by an all Black family with both an African American mother and father.

Didn't Duvernay work as a publicist and promote 'White Chicks'? She's cancelled...that was a whiteface farce.

Your in a gay message board. Answer or leave!

Another thing Ava will destroy.

What is it going to be, a college sports movie and then 45 minutes of him tweeting?

by Anonymousreply 31July 1, 2020 3:12 AM

As long as that huge caramel-colored dong is featured, I'll be watching!

Ugh. I can't stand that cunt Ava. So full of herself.

by Anonymousreply 33July 1, 2020 3:41 AM

I'm willing to bet he's homophobic. Call it racist but yes, 99% of straight black men are homophobic, I speak from experience. I don't give a shit what race his parents.

by Anonymousreply 34July 1, 2020 4:12 AM

He was a frat boy, so that would just about make it 100%, am I right??

by Anonymousreply 35July 1, 2020 4:38 AM

Ummmm no. 99% aren’t homophobic 🙄🙄🙄

Of straight black men or frat boys?

R37 of black men.

That still puts him in the middle of the homophobia Venn diagram we are constructing here....

I don't remember ever hearing anything negative about Kap in regards to the LGBT community. I know that he spoke out in favor of having gay players on his team a few years back.

You are probably right, R42, it's just hilarious that we are supposed to line up to hear about Fratty McFratface and his millions for freedom.

by Anonymousreply 43July 1, 2020 5:18 AM

I can't wait for the episode where he talks about not choosing not to vote because it would be hypocritical...because...oppression.

by Anonymousreply 44July 1, 2020 6:26 AM

I would only watch it if he presents his massive dong.
