Despite the misleading mainstream headlines, Kaepernick's youth encompasses racially biased incidents, structural racism and an introduction to white privilege at a very young age.

In this episode of News Too Real: An in-depth review of newly released, 6-part, dramedy series to Netflix, "Colin in Black and White ", producer host Julia Dudley Najieb gives specific details of Colin Kaepernick's upbringing in the Central Valley city of Turlock, CA, located in Stanislaus County relative to her own experiences growing up in the Almaden Valley.
She reiterates the bouts of racism, racial bias and white privilege he had to navigate through as a bi-racial--although he embraced Blackness-- young person raised by two White parents; as a talented tri-athlete in basketball, baseball, and football, Kaepernick at a young age had to navigate through a Black-culture identity crisis followed by racially biased incidents, while trying to have a comprehension of what was happening to him simultaneously.

Dudley Najieb also details the strong directorial leadership of the dramedy series produced by former NLF player, Kaepernick and award-winning, writer, director and producer, Ava Duvernay that has been overshadowed by mainstream media headlines focused on the first 2 min. of the first show in the series, which dramatizes the NFL comparison to slavery, narrated by Kaerpernick.

As the dramedy series has more insightful topics related to the young, resilient Kaepernick growing up in a predominately white environment as the only "Black" kid on the block, Dudley Najieb also reviews the news headlines which talk about the direct sabotage and conspiracy that white journalists, or white people had toward Kaepernick to permanently destroy his NFL career for kneeling quietly during the national anthem played before games, as his way of politically taking a stance against police brutality and the injustices against Black and Brown people throughout the nation.
