Re: Backlash from Michael Thomas, among others, forces Drew Brees to clarify comments
Should have put this in the political forum. Nobody is saying the police don't have problems profiling blacks and using brutal tactics. It needs to stop.
On the other hand, the flag represents all that we are, good and bad and the struggle to make it better constantly. It's a symbol to the goodness of people who gave their lives in that struggle. It's not a tribute to the bad things or to showcase those things. I served 20 years, lost several friends in combat, black and white. I will never join or support any movement disrespecting my service or theirs. They say they are not doing that but they actually are doing it. That's their right to do so, I fought to give them that right but I will never support their movement until that stops. |
