he looks berber or some shit

Yeah

wikipedia says his dad is black but I can't actually confirm that because one of the two citations doesn't say that and the other is a dead link

archive of the second cited only says "Of course, they couldn't have imagined when they began the process that the offspring of a blonde, athletic mother and an African-American father who was out of the picture before he was born, would be a star quarterback." from some old NPR bio piece

why did they add that redundant info

"who was out of the picture before he was born"

for some reason, the powers that be prefer these sort of people

haha

absent far away black father

white mother, generally academic

or communist etc.

Chukka Umunna, Barack Obama, Colin Kaepernick

speculation is that his father was James Lofton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Lofton) and that the relationship was an affair and thus the mother won't reveal the father

In October 1984, a dancer at the Marquee Club in Milwaukee accused James Lofton and his Packers teammate Eddie Lee Ivery of sexual assault. Lofton and Ivery asserted that the acts were consensual. Neither player ended up being charged in the incident due to a lack of evidence. Two years later, Lofton was charged with second-degree sexual assault following an incident in the stairwell of a Green Bay nightclub. He was found not guilty of that charge.

speculation is that his father was

it's the hero's journey inverted fallot

the youth, disadvantaged by his parenthood (unjustly! through no fault of his own!) transcends his humble beginnings to take on ever-greater challenges

in our inverted version, he takes on challenges from the agents of order and decency

nice

they are always saviours of some sort too

right. huble beginning provides the arc and inherent challenge to be overcome. lack of effective parenthood or other humble beginning puts them in the hole from which they must climb out, in the process realizing the greatness within themselves

in this instance, it's a very pure version of the archetype because we learn that his father is SECRETLY the king - here a famous former football star

thus Kaepernick's arc is especially classic hero's journey

he's jon snow

young arthur

etc

moses

although the moses thing is interesting because it is like the mirror-world hero's journey

which is used to show the spiritual supremacy of god's chosen people

also black

the mixed race part is important too

for the inversion, definitely.

in the classic version, the "mixture" is divine + mortal

I meant more just to push that thing, a future "united race"

for sure but I think it comports with my theory

as well

because the hero is the hero partially because of his mixed nature. His years unrecognized allow him sympathy, understanding, etc for those he must eventually rule, even though they are technically beneath him.

jesus, hercules, etc
