Colin Kaepernick gets roasted with #KapSoBlack
The quarterback was trending on Twitter — and it wasn’t about the national anthem

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick got roasted Thursday night — bear with me, it’s not about the national anthem. Now that Kaepernick has been getting more face time with the cameras, his new Afro is enough for him to get the roast hand from Twitter.
He somehow manages to look like multiple Boondocks characters at the same time. That takes talent.

Then we got the comparison to the GOAT (greatest of all time) in TV painters.

FUN FACT: Bob Ross’ hair was naturally straight. Sorry if I ruined your childhood with that one.
People went way back with these jokes and started using the hashtag #KapSoBlack, which eventually started trending.

I thought my family was the only one who did the bags in a cabinet thing. Cabinet game strong.

Groovy, man. Groovy.
I look forward to these Afrocentric jokes during the whole season, but be ready to adjust the material if Kaepernick decides to adjust his style.
