Lil Wayne
doesn’t think he’s fit to address Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem
protest because the rapper claims he has never had to deal with racial
prejudice.
Lil Wayne told Skip Bayless during Fox Sports One’s “Undisputed.” “I thought [racism] was over. I still believe it’s over, but obviously it isn’t.”
Bayless
went on to ask about a previous encounter between the two when the
rapper told him the vast majority of the audience at many of his
concerts is white.
“I
don’t want to be bashed, because I don’t want to sound like I’m on the
wrong, if there is a side, but I thought that was clearly a message that
there was no such thing as racism,” Wayne replied. “That’s what I
thought that was. That was a perfect example.”
Fellow
co-host Shannon Sharpe commended Wayne for his words, saying that it is
better for someone to be honest about their experiences with racism
rather than make something up for the sake of getting attention.

Francisco 49ers quarterback Kaepernick
has refused to stand for the national anthem before NFL games out of refusal to “show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people.”
