A new book written by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his long-time girlfriend Nessa Diab has people commenting on social media. The book, which will be published by Scholastic in October has a name that is drawing a lot of attention.
A Former San Francisco 49ers QB wrote a book
As previously discussed on GH, the book “We Are Free, You & Me” is based on the philosophy at Know Your Rights Camp:
According to a statement by Scholastic, Kaepernick teamed up with his long-time girlfriend Nessa Diab and Scholastic to publish a book based on the ten tenants of Know Your Rights Camp, a non-profit organization for social justice that Kaepernick is a founder of.
With illustrations by Gladys Jose, We Are Free, You & Me is a lyrical affirmation of what freedom truly means—and celebrates the principles of Colin and Nessa’s Know Your Rights Camp, an international movement that has inspired thousands of young people to rejoice in their inherent goodness. Kaepernick and Diab will donate 100% of their proceeds from the book to Know Your Rights Camp.
If the title sounds familiar, there was a popular album by Marlo Thomas And Friends titled “Free To Be… You and Me” that was released in 1972.
Colin Kaepernick’s new book raises eyebrows
Kaepernick’s new book appears to be polarizing with people. Some people on X were excited about the book. But a few people on X and a lot of people on NewsBreak were not happy with the author. Many people mocked the title.
Awesome!

Got to keep the racism garbage front and center. You do know, you could go to most countries and not have the rights you have here. Wonder, who are the true racists, those that see racism in everything.
