Adam Carolla makes comments about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, alleging that Kaepernick grew out his afro to look “more Black.” Both sources report Carolla’s claim that Kaepernick does not “present as Black” and that his current, much larger afro is intended to change how he is perceived.
The outlets frame Carolla’s remarks differently. The Washington Times describes the comment as part of a broader allegation that Kaepernick is a “race hustler,” while Breitbart highlights the same “26-foot afro” claim and uses the phrase “race hustler” in its headline and summary. Neither source provides additional evidence or direct responses from Kaepernick; the reporting focuses on Carolla’s statements and the reactions they generate.
Overall, both articles agree on what Carolla says—linking the growth of Kaepernick’s afro to a perceived attempt to appear more Black—but they emphasize different aspects of Carolla’s characterization and tone.
