So it turns out it was reportedly Kid from Kid n Play portraying Colin Kaepernick and not a white guy.
However, Twitter users still felt fired up over the unaired “Speak For Yourself” gag featuring Christopher Reid.
Now, rather than criticizing the racism of it all, they’re just tearing into Kid! And of course, Jason Whitlock is included in the dragging.
Just found out that was Kid from Kid N Play that did the Kap diss with Jason Whitlock.
Can't watch House Party or Class Act ever again smh.

But not everyone believes Kid is the one under the afro.
I don't believe that's that Christopher 'Kid' Reid cooning for Jason Whitlock. I just don't.

Whitlock had already confirmed the light-skinned man in a Kaepernick jerseyĀ is Black. And on Tuesday, Sept. 6, Whitlock also seemed to affirm TMZ’s report that Kid is in the costume.
TMZ delivers responsible journalism. It's wild, man. TMZ is the place for real journalism.

For the record, Kid,Ā who is usually active on Twitter, has yet to weigh in on the controversy.
