How exactly does this random thought apply to this discussion?

Are you being serious?

[The Kraken]

I know a few whiteys who missed out on jobs with the fire dept that scored higher (more qualified) than the blacks who were hired because of well... bs politics. But!!! I don’t care and love blacks either way because I have common sense. Shit is what it is nothing is ever going to be perfectly equal krakel

Zam we all have similar anecdotal stories. We’re talking systemically, big picture stuff. Every single black person starts with a disadvantage, and a few white people that didnt get their firefighter job doesn’t quite offset it.

How did Obama become President then? He's black and took the highest office in the land.

Blacks have every opportunity these days to succeed in America if they apply themselves.. They can get loans and start businesses and hire black people as well if they feel they are at a disadvantage. America is the land of the free today.. Can do what ever you want in life regardless of skin color more then ever these days..

Yes, blacks getting or not getting mortgages is like 10000000000000 percent off topic here.

No

It’s an insight how some things are much harder for blacks

[stevenash]

Whatever.

It’s over

[stevenash]

It’s over

It was a non story blown way out of proportion to begin with.

[Black Coffee]

It's only a non-story to many of you NOW b/c Brees just debunked all your bullish*t you were talking yesterday..

In Brees own words..

I am sick about the way my comments were perceived yesterday, but I take full responsibility and accountability. I recognize that I should do less talking and more listening...and when the black community is talking about their pain, we all need to listen.


Many of you talking sh*t yesterday just took a big L.... deal with it... many more are coming..

Oh and yes, many of you will need to look up the definition of "debunk"

Well to be honest I don't think the apology is heartfelt. He clearly had no choice but to apologise.

You can't tell me he meant that apology from his heart.

[Gmen30]

The issue is that Brees was unjustly vilified for speaking his opinions and reasons for those opinions.

[Black Coffee]

Well to be honest I don't think the apology is heartfelt. He clearly had no choice but to apologise.

You can't tell me he meant that apology from his heart.

I don't think it's a truly heartfelt apology. Hard to do that in less than 24 hours.

Brees still believes that people shouldn't disrespect the flag... He's not wrong for that...

But when you offer an opinion and people that you respect respond as they did, it serves as a wake up call.

Well, for most smart people it serves as that.

One day many of you will realize that the person that made kneeling at NFL games about the flag was Bunker Boy..

Bunker Boy stole the narrative and made it about the flag. He used it to rile up his base. He also ignored what the kneeling was for..

Now Bunker Boy is watching as protests occur around the WORLD. He's become a laughing stock with other world leaders and that puts America in a weak position.

I told you fellas that right vs left is a dumb way to approach life. Fox News and CNN generate billions based on people's stupidity on both sides.

The Rich vs The Rest...

[SBR_Guest_Pro]

I agree with him. Shouldn't disrespect flag

[Grits n' Gravy]

Our resident know nothing/poster child for being a male vagina is popping off yet again.

I fully believe we do need to be responsible for our own successes and failures but a subhuman like you who never worked for anything he has should not talk about real life matters. If you were not born white, we all know you would be dead a long time ago. You aren’t equipped do be a real man in this world. You can’t even reproduce, how would you be able to overcome any obstacles when you can’t cry to mommy and daddy?

[Grits n' Gravy]

I agree with him. Shouldn't disrespect flag

I would piss on the flag and not think twice. It is a piece of cloth. If you get upset about a stupid flag and not police brutality, got nothing for you.

[johnnyvegas13]

Breezzz is soooo sowwyyy

[jjgold]

Jibby is correct

Blacks as a whole lazy bastards

[SBR_Guest_Pro]

Whoah dude, who said anything about not being against police brutality. You think the american flag stands for police brutality? Then you need to go finish your elementary school education. You can also move out of the country and find a place that makes you happy with no flag to worry about?

[maxell]

Since when has being a patriot been a racist thing? Times have changed. Flashback to 1976, Rick Monday "rescues" the American flag from being burned in Dodger stadium. That was THE HEROIC thing to do. Or was it? Maybe the two guys were white had something to do with it not sparking any fires?

[stevenash]

Enough! Enough! Enough!

Now I'm hearing from the black community that Brees apology isn't good enough. That it was directed at the response, blah, blah, blah....

Enough! Enough! Enough!

The man has gone an entire lifetime demonstrating he doesn't have a racist bone in his body.
The man expressed his opinion, his opinion some didn't care for.
The man apologized for his statement, it was a sincere apology.
The man did not kneel on Mr. Floyd's throat, the man is sorry Mr. Floyd died the way he did.
The man is not defending the police actions of Mr. Floyd, all the man did was saying he thinks kneeling during the anthem is a show of disrespect to the flag. This is not racist people, this is only racist because certain people/groups are making it racist.

Last time I checked this is America where there is freedom of speech as long as you don't incite a riot by yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Stop already, some people here are acting like the man raped a 12 year old girl or committed some kind of heinous murder.
He did not.

Some people here are so consumed with such a non story it's almost pathetic.
Get over yourselves and move on to issues that matter.
Or are your lives really that empty where this issue is at the forefront of your mind.

Thank you.

[stealthyburrito]

Racism is woven in the fabric, culture, and heritage of America.

The flag is a symbol of America.

Do the math. It’s not difficult to see why certain folks kneel.

Drew Brees might as well retire, cause he will be getting lit up every game next year. He might not make it out of the preseason.

[floki]

all i see is dollar signs and fines this season in the nfl

[stevenash]

Drew Brees might as well retire, cause he will be getting lit up every game next year.

This non story will be over in two days and believe me he's not going to be targeted.

Get real dude.

He made a mistake, apologized, now time to move on from it

[floki]

Honestly couldn’t ask for a better apology, his lawyers wrote it, he should march with some protesters so people know he means it

[floki]

You think he cares? (And he shouldn't)

He makes more than all of them combined.

He'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

[floki]

Brees lost the respect of his teammates
