Hence the lack of awareness...

He should have declined to answer the question or say that isn’t the discussion right now and steer the conversation in the direction of what is happening.

Yes bro..... they just don’t get it it’s not about the flag frick the flag, it’s about police brutality it wasn’t about the flag until drew said it was, and that’s what pissed people off. he didn’t even acknowledge the recent killings that’s why what he said was tone deaf, but you know these white folks ain’t trying to hear that


He was asked about the flag and responded to the question, so it was about the flag based on the question.

So we are privileged because we decided to do something with our life instead of just sitting around? The whole "white privilege" phrase is such a misused term ...


Maybe if you looked up the term you'd better understand things.

But you seem to know every white person and throw out stereotypes like they apply to everyone. See how this works?

You see, by being white, Drew got the privelage of having 20 years of actions and good deeds thrown down the drain just for an opinion that did not even undermine the cause of his teammates movement, while his teammates threw his name and reputation under the bus all with no repercussion Thats white privilege


Very valid point.


This can’t be stated enough.

All the great work these “privilege whites” whites do goes all for nothing because they make a patriotic stance.

Times are absolutely insane.

I hate all those crooked frick politicians. You wacko rights always want to put people into left or right.

Also never said I didn't forgive him or was ever really mad at him. Just that what he said was extremely insensitive and poorly timed.

But you have your narrative so keep speaking that sheepish bullshite.

Edit:
He got schooled because he actually learned what he did was wrong. And y'all did too but won't ever admit it and that's what makes y'all pieces of shite instead of a great man like Drew.

A racist term used as a derogatory comment against people born white.

Really? Have you seen the violence directed at others from some of the extremists? He doesn't live on a compound behind security.

Blacks have been stereotyped from jump and treated like shite and that's what this whole thing is about.

Also I am white, so...

You called me and those who supported drew and hope he stood by his comments "privileged white fricks".

That's literal racism and the only people spouting that racism is the woke left and the woke left only.

If it walks and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

Exactly. The 1984 crowd doesn’t give a shite about what kind of person you really are, only that you bow down.

This is the equivalent of the video of the black man making the medical worker kneel and apologize for her "white privilege" that was on social media.

Drew comes off looking very weak and like a coward in this situation. And I understand the amount of pressure he was facing, but he still ended up losing in this situation.

In the end he will have to live under his black teammates cloud of race-shaming comments. And the silent group in the locker room that agreed with his stance on kneeling during the NA will lose respect for him.

I would hate to be in his shoes right now. He has to feel like he took the cowards road to satisfy the loud minority in that locker room.

I firmly disagree with the sentiments expressed in his original statement, but I don't think he's a bad guy for it. It's just a simple-minded, myopic view of what "patriotism" is, in my view.

That said, apologizing is a huge bitch move. Time for the Jameis Era LET'S GO BABY!

So fricking what if you are white. You are a hypocrite. Using terms like white privilege is “stereotyping people from jump.” Do better.

Drew Brees chose the opinions of the masses over what his own grandfather would think of him.

I don't think taking a knee in silent protest during an awkward, forced showing of "patriotism", which is at least partially funded by the department of defense, is inherently disrespectful to the united states or the military or somehow unpatriotic. Neither he nor anyone else has some kind of monopoly on "true" patriotism. I'm waiting to see if he'll also call out the thousands upon thousands of drunk dipshits in the crowd at every one of his games that are talking, pissing, getting a beer or altogether not even acknowledging the anthem is even going on.
