To @realdonaldtrump

"Through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates, and leaders in the black community, I realize this is not an issue about the American f**g. It has never been. We can no longer use the f**g to turn people away or distract them from the real issues that face our black communities.
We did this back in 2017, and regretfully I brought it back with my comments this week. We must stop talking about the f**g and shift our attention to the real issues of systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, police brutality, and judicial & prison reform.
We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history! If not now, then when?

We as a white community need to listen and learn from the pain and suffering of our black communities. We must acknowledge the problems, identify the solutions, and then put this into action. The black community cannot do it alone. This will require all of us."

Roger Goodell's response to kneeling is also a great call to all Americans!

On Friday evening, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement where he admitted the league was “wrong” for not listening to players earlier, and he encouraged peaceful protest. In 2018, the NFL instituted a policy that required players to either stand on the sideline or remain in the locker room during the pregame playing of the national anthem.

“We, the National Football League, condemn r****m and the systematic oppression of black people,” Goodell said. “We, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier, and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the National Football League, believe Black L***s M****r.”

It's a simple matter of showing respect to the fans and the country. For all it's flaws, it's still a great country. The NFL players are paid an outrageous amount of money to do bothing more than play a game. If they wan t to protest, do it off the field.When the Anthem is played they, need not place their hand over their heart, but they should stand. The field is a place of business, and as such the rules do not necessarily have to agree with the constitution, because it's a private organization. Were I the Owner of the team I would have fired his ass on the spot. He signed a contract, he violated it. Grounds for dismissal

I always respected what the players were protesting...just held their manner of protest in great disrespect.

Perhaps my sense of patriotism and love of f**g and anthem made me a little blind.

Wrong answer.

When many b****s shoot other b****s over a long weekend (like in Chicago), what should the non-black community do?

When 75% of black babies are born of wedlock, in the black community, what should the non-black community do?

NO, it's black culture and it must be corrected from within.

Brees made a mistake by apologizing. He had nothing to apologize for.

Evidently Brees would disagree with you.

Why do I never see you post about white babies born out of wedlock? Are you unaware that it is common?

Remove your nikes before you set them alight. Don't wear your f**g bikini to Walmart on Sundays.

Somehow it's never the right time to talk about school shootings or racial ine******y.
