What happens if black parents were to say this to their black kids? Are they racist uncle toms for perpetuating the capitalist devil's concept of professionalism?

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kapernick accused his adoptive parents of "perpetuating racism" in an interview that aired Thursday.
"I know my parents loved me. But there were still very problematic things that I went through," the biracial quarterback said to CBS News.
"I think it was important to show that, no, this can happen in your own home, and how we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is being perpetuated," he added.
Kaepernick illustrated one specific example of this in the novel, depicting a fight he had with his parents during high school over his hairstyle.
Inspired to braid his hair in cornrows like his hero, NBA star Allen Iverson, Kaepernick recalled receiving pushback from his parents.
"He's getting what rolls?" his mom says in the graphic novel.
Kaepernick said that after styling his hair this way, his mom warned that his hair was "not professional" and he "looked like a little thug."
The former football player-turned-social justice activist said these teenage interactions helped shape his decisions as an adult to embrace his ethnicity.
Is it too late for his adoptive parents to abort him?

I didn't cut my hair from June of '71 until the summer of '76. Trimmed it a bit, it was to the small of my back. Quite a few rednecks back in the day, and some of the worst were my dad, my best friend's dad, an uncle, and a rice farmer/cattle rancher I worked for. None of them ever said a word about it, other than usually they called me "Jesus." Every once in a while a stranger would but it didn't bother me.
Kapernick is a whiner, attention seeker, and a cry baby.
