Colin Kaepernick Netflix series conversation

e 104 Jhae and guest Quincy Shelton of the Talk2Q Radio Show have a conversation about the Colin Kaepernick Netflix mini series called Colin In Black & White.  What was accurate, overly dramatized, fair or unfair in the shows depiction of reality and those people around a high school aged Colin from the show itself.  Is the show race baiting or is it opening the eyes to everyone about the world we live in today?  Also, what is Quincy's dream car?
