Re: Backlash from Michael Thomas, among others, forces Drew Brees to clarify comments
 

So people who actually report on the news, which the left never does, is just propaganda? Truth is propaganda? Have you heard any reporting from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, or name your leftist network of choice, on the Obama administration's crimes? No? What do they talk about? "We hate Trump, and here's why you should, too".

You once told me you were "very conservative". And you wondered why I described you as a phony.

And that does nothing but prove exactly what I said is correct. There is no right to protest or free speech protection at your employer. Somehow in your feeble mind you think you demonstrated a point 🤔 🤦*♂️

18 people murdered in Chicago. But at least tough guy Jenkins told Drew to STFU. Man what a badass. McCafferty will run around him on pass play like AK did a few years back. Remember tough guy Jenkins..lol.

Yes. I was once very conservative. I an still very fiscally conservative. But socially, at 62 years old having contact with friends from many cultures I have grown.

And, yes, I agree, all of those news sources you listed are trash as far as I am concerned. We are in agreement on that point. But, as I have grown I have learned that understanding others is not as easy as one would think. I am still growing. I truly pray you do as well. And I ain't ****tin' you. Real live prayers will be involved.

He also fought for my right to tell the players kneeling to shove it up their ass.

They are intentionally insulting a huge portion of America. F*** em and the lying horse they rode in on.

The media and all the people too scared to stand up for what they actually believe in will tell you you're a racist and a bigot if you don't agree Danno. You have to agree with everything they say!!!

Be careful!!! Lol

Let me explain something. Your views of the anthem is different from my views. Historically Americans fought for our rights to protest. For all men and women to be treated fairly BUT my ancestors BLACKS that also fought in those wars for those same promise were denied those freedoms and were most of them were even targeted for wearing the uniform. Still I as a AMERICAN knows the value of being a AMERICAN citizen and proudly served in the U.S.Army National Guard at a very young age 16 when I needed my parents signature to become a recruit. After 6 years of the guards at the age of 22 I joined the regular army as a 88M motor transportation. I loved my job and proudly served my country. Reason I am saying this is for people to understand I love my country. With that being said, knowing I want and DUE the same respect as a white man in America with the choice to protest and my protest is not perceived or diluted as unamerican or that I hate Americans. Could you imagine hundreds of Black Men’s at the Capital with assault rifles demanding for justice without being met with aggression from authorities? Well that is why it’s so hurting to BLACK AMERICANS that Brees come and once again with a narrative changer about disrespect.


For white Americans to understand how we BLACKS perceive the anthem you must look at the history of the poem by Francis Scott a known racist. The poem was recommended to be the national anthem On April 10, 1918, John Charles Linthicum, U.S. congressman from Maryland, introduced a bill to officially recognize "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the national anthem.The bill did not pass. Charles made 6 attempts and it was turned down. The 3rd stanza, which is rarely sung and few know, contain the words, “No refuge could save the hireling and SLAVE, From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave”. Now you tell me what your perception of that part of the stanza? Herbert Hoover the reincarnation as Donald Trump signed this to be the national anthem. Now again I say this is not about the FLAG it’s about Police brutality and killing of Black Americans. I only mention this so you can see that our views toward as something as anthem can be looked at different.

The beautiful thing about America, which the flag represents is that we are free to have beliefs that are contrary to others. Nowhere in the constitution does it say we can’t disrespect others beliefs.
You can oppose the riots without being a racist and you can kneel during the anthem without being anti-American. The flag can mean different things to different people.
It’s funny how some of the same people who think kneeling is disrespectful will fly a flag behind their truck until it’s tattered and in ribbons. I find that disrespectful and selective reasoning. Half the people I talk to think it’s disrespectful to not have your hand over your heart during the anthem. The hand is for the Pledge not the Anthem.
This country has turned to absolute **** anyway and I’m not even proud to be an American anymore.
