Re: Former Saint Jenkins with Black Panther Salute
I read somewhere the other day that Jenkins said the Eagles were going to protest. I told myself I would not watch to see if happened, and I didn't. I have no interest in watching fools play football. I'm extremely glad the Saints haven't done this. I would lose the stomach for watching any football if that happened.
Some might say that I shouldn't worry about what they do off the field and just enjoy the game. But the thing is, I gotta respect the team I pull for. If I had a team that outwardly supported a cause that I believe is all about hatred, then it would take all the joy out of the game. I feel sorry for fans who are watching their teams do this crap. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Here are some statistics for 2015. Make sure you scroll down to see the faces and read the situations of the UNARMED VICTIMS Police killed more than 100 unarmed black people in 2015 |

I read the Shreveport Times every morning and it is rare when there are not at least two or three shootings reported from the previous day involving black victims.
This is not a racial issue. This is a cultural issue. I have a question that can be posed to any racial breakdown of the populace and I could guess the overwhelming leaning. Which cross-section is more likely to be carrying a firearm? Suburban Females 16-25 Suburban Males 16-25 Inner-City Females 16-25 Inner-City Males 16-25 |

Only 10 of the 102 cases in 2015 where an unarmed black person was killed by police resulted in officer(s) being charged with a crime, and only 2 of these deaths (Matthew Ajibade and Eric Harris) resulted in convictions of officers involved. Only 1 of 2 officers convicted for their involvement in Matthew Ajibade's death received jail time. He was sentenced to 1 year in jail and allowed to serve this time exclusively on weekends. Deputy Bates, who killed Eric Harris, will be sentenced May 31. IT IS CLEAR THAT IF YOU DONT SEE THAT BLACKS ARE BEING TREATED AGGRESSIVELY AFTER WHAT JUST HAPPEN IN TULSA, THEN YOU WILL CONTINUE TO WALK BLINDLY OR WITH CLOSE EYES. I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS TRYING TO ENLIGHTEN YOU OF YOUR BIGOTRY. THIS NOT ABOUT BEING AGAINST AMERICA. IF PEOPLE DONT WANT JUSTICE IN AMERICA PEOPLE NEED TO LEAVE MY COUNTRY! |
