You know I’ve been reading and listening to the things being said by athletes, coaches and former athletes in regards to Kapernick’s stance on kneeling for the flag and the subsequent protests by other players and team across the NFL. I heard Trent Dilfer called Kap’s move disgraceful and Tony LaRussa questions his sincerity, you’ve had Dabo Sweeney say that the protests are over played and that the Black community has equality to Whites.

The truth is the more this topic gets discussed, the more we realized that we are still right where we’ve always been. Elite White people have no fucking clue about what’s going on. I’m watching the faces who speak and what they say and it’s clear that we need more conversation about the issues and we need to realize what the purpose of the protests are really for. Kap isn’t protesting the Military vets who’ve served to defend the nation and protect the flag, he’s protesting the injustices that continue to proliferate American society.

The other players across the League that have joined him are standing up for their communities to protest the injustices happening to people of color. And it’s interesting that there are those White people who seem to understand and agree with the movement and others who just look ignant as fuck and that’s a shame. I saw what Skip Bayless of FS1 had to say about Trent Dilfer of ESPN and I’m so glad that Skip gets it. All these players who played with hundreds of Black athletes are giving these Jim Crow opinions are pretty sad to see.

Are we in the same place that we use to be.. Not technically, but are we at a equal place in this country…Hell Nah. Hopefully this debate will continue to center on the issues.. racial inequality and injustice, and not on professional athletes, who are actual human beings, protesting the Anthem of the United States of America. See that distraction is critical to the discussion as a whole. We can’t get caught up in the Act, because you miss the message. The message is we need to get justice for all.

Lastly, let me take this last paragraph to rail again the Owner of my favorite football team, and maybe even chastise them a little. Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, man you can tell that you’re out of touch from your players. To have the nerve to say you’re disappointed because human beings chose to protest their outrage in this country with the social injustices is disgusting. You’re the disappointment Jerry. You give women abusers second chances, but you don’t like players standing up for what they believe in? How dare you act like you don’t see it. or maybe you don’t. Maybe because you’re that elite White man who knows nothing but privilege, you ain’t even qualified to open your fucking mouth. A sad commentary on owner who prides himself on giving guys a chance. Maybe you need to spend more time with your Black players to understand why the protests happen as they do.
