Brees has way more support than them. It's not even close. I do wish they would actually do more than just kneel though. How about a protest in black communities on gun violence. No reason Chicago should have over 200 gun murders this year. It's out of control and has been for a long long time. Nobody does or says anything. We have to stop the senseless loss of black youth. We can deal with racism but the real loss of black lives is on black lives killing black lives.

Ever heard of the silent majority. We are still here. Can't hear us on social media though or a bunch of BS internet articles. A lot of us are also black.

You know that's about as convincing as the polls that told us HRC would win in a landslide...

It is called selective outrage.
