Texas college student Kiara Lawhon did not know her mother would disown her after expressing support for former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Following President Donald Trump's comments made at a rally in Huntsville, Alabama last Friday, NFL players and owners pushed back against Trump's call for the firing of players who protested during the national anthem.

On that Sunday, she wrote a post on Facebook in support of the players and the league without knowing that her mother would react with such harshness.

Lawhon's mother told her that she could not voice her opinions about issues facing the country because Kiara did not vote in the 2016 election. She was upset and disappointed but the reason for her disappointment may surprise you.

"I’m not disappointed because she feels that I am wrong, but I am disappointed because she made no effort to understand where I, as a biracial woman that has endured racism in her life, was coming from."

In an interview with Vibe, Lawhon, who is half white and half Puerto Rican and African- American, revealed that growing up in a biracial family wasn't easy because "they disagree with how I feel and refuse to understand my side of things. This has led to a lot of tension between my family and [me]." Her role in the #TakeTheKnee movement was no different.

The amount of hate I’m receiving is so heart breaking.

"People are not going to stand for a flag or song that is meant to symbolize freedom and equality for all people when the system continuously fails us over and over again … I’m going to continue supporting the ‘Take The Knee' movement and any other peaceful protests that fight against racism, inequality, social injustice, and police brutality."
