Colin Kaepernick hits back at Trump: 'America's never been great for people of color'



NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick said that Donald Trump's suggestion to "find a country that works better for him" is "very ignorant".

“It’s a very ignorant statement that, if you don’t agree with what’s going on, hearing that if you want justice and liberty and freedom for all, then you should leave the country,” Kaepernick said on Tuesday.

“He always says make America great again. Well, America has never been great for people of colour. And that’s something that needs to be addressed. Let’s make America great for the first time,” he said in a video shared by the Bay Area News Group.
