      Raymond I don’t know what Jennings politics are. My comment was based on what was said in this video. There are many people that believe things that I don’t believe, that doesn’t mean that everything that comes out of their mouths is false. The problem Black people face goes way back to before we even got to this land, some through slavery, some got here before that. But I’m not gonna get into that. The solution is in our hands. No one can save us (especially the caucasians) but us.

    Dree Bree didn't realize my uncles fought in the same war his grandfather did. The difference is my uncles came home from the war not able to ride, sit or drink in the areas that Dree's grandfather was able to simply because of their skin color. My uncles fought for freedom in America that only Dree's grandfather was able to obtain. Dree knows full well what the kneeling during the National Anthem was about. So it is okay for Officer Chauvin to take both knees and place on George Floyd's neck but Black America can't bow on one. That flag that Dree respects so much and the anthem that Dree loves so much was never intended for Black America in the first place. I am not asking to change Dree's opinion, but don't criticize mine because my experience as a Black man in America differs from yours.

When her boyfriend fired back with his legal firearm, he was arrested, despite the police breaking down the wrong apartment door.

    • @BDI85
      @BDI85 4 роки тому +2

      @Raymond What your statement is lacking is context. People in tough neighborhoods that scrap and scrape for everything, they eventually start to become what they think they need to become in order to survive. With no fathers to guide them and people automatically seeing them as a threat in society eventually erodes a person from the inside out over time. That creates what you're eluding to. No fathers in the household is incentivized by the government btw. You only get assistance if there is no father present. So lots of fathers reside elsewhere to gain the assistance for the family. Something else to be angry about. This created anger and frustration eventually leads to a lashing out in the wrong way. Violence against one another. But when you're the police and are properly trained and held to the code and narrative to PROTECT & SERVE... this shouldn't be happening. Your statement is dismissive my friend. Where is the humane empathy? Its very "Matter of fact" and without context. Actually TRY to understand another's perspective and you'll see the world change right before you. It could be frightening, I understand.... But so many of the majority dont want to try. Its too uncomfortable. This is why this narrative will never change. Being dismissive will only serve to perpetuate the problem. Which makes these sorts of comments and the people who make them advocates for inequality. Coming into this conversation with more statistics or contrasting comparisons only shows cold heartedness and an unwillingness to understand. People are dying at the hands of those who swore to protect.... That should be the only narrative. Dont change the topic with redirection. Because it perpetuates the problem. Its essentially saying "Why deal with it if we can change the narrative". Right??

As for Nick, I've always got time for him. You can clown him for his LeBron/Chief homerism but on most subjects, his opinions are measured and informed. The sincerity regarding this topic isn't contrived either, as his wife is black.

      That military iD thing is real for black people who serve (another unwritten rule)...literally had this officer pull me over and he was instantly hostile, I use to keep the military ID in the front of my wallet so I could just flash it (but not too obvious though) before giving my license. He was quite the genius because I had to explain to him twice that the reason I had a Pennsylvania license with a California address and California plates is because I was military and I’m exempt. Guy comes back with a totally different attitude. The attitude that should have reflect the stop in the first place. I shouldn’t have to be in the military for that to happen.

It is such an important perspective to consider - that Drew Brees doesn’t see the injustices happening, or recognize the decades-long plight & struggle of the African American community. He only sees himself & how it affects him - bc he’ll never have to experience that kind of treatment & that privilege never dawned on him.
    Thank you Greg Jennings!! And thank you Malcolm Jenkins!! His video was heartbreaking bc you could see & hear the sense of betrayal he was feeling!

    Very powerful show. Greg laid it out so eloquently and Nick and Wildes both showed they they hear and understand why this is such an important topic. I hate to say it because I've always liked Drew Brees, but he is nothing but another rich, white, entitled man who won't take responsibility for helping make things better while looking down on those who do. Drew Brees, what's wrong with you? You need a heart transplant.
    As a former Marine, son of a Marine Corps Korean War veteran, and a proud American, I love our flag. But I have no problem with anyone taking a knee in protest of police brutality and systemic racism during the national anthem. What better time to remind ourselves of what the flag should stand for: equality, justice, and freedom for all Americans. Wake up, Drew. Our lived values have to be more important to us than symbols like a flag and rituals like a pledge of allegiance if we're ever to going to heal our broken society and make it whole.

More importantly, this whole thing shouldn't even be about the flag, it should be about protesting against police brutality and social injustice. The major disconnect is that Brees seems to think it's about the former rather than the latter.
