Drew Brees-Desean Jackson

hitta · 07-09-2020, 03:46 AM

It's sickening after how Brees got treated for essentially saying he thought people should stand for the flag(which is a personal opinion, and has nothing to do with race at all) and DeSean Jackson posts something far worse and nobody even gives a ****. Then to top it off, the guy that wouldn't accept Brees apology and said horrible stuff about Brees, Stephen Jackson, comes out and tries to defend DeSean Jackson's post. It's hypocritical, it's completely unfair, and the double standard is sickening.

That and Drew Brees is a coward, as us his wife. All he had to say was that is my belief for me, not forcing it on anyone else. Give it a week or two, shut up and don't respond to anyone or anything and it would die.

But because he was petrified to lose his announcer gig after football he tucked himself like a man with breasts...what do they call those?

"I've been getting hit up by everyone asking me about this DeSean Jackson post and I wanted to take some time before I responded because it's a complicated issue and I wanted it to be thoughtful," Edelman said in a social media video. "I wrote down some of my thinking. I've seen DeSean play in his career, make outstanding football plays. We've communicated over social media. I've got nothing but respect for his game. I know he said some ugly things, but I do see an opportunity to have a conversation."

No outrage. Just one of very few Jewish players politely offering his opinion in hopes of enlightening what appears to be a truly bigoted man.

I’m just glad we heard about it and it didn’t get swept under the rug. Social injustice is everywhere and although the focus is on black Americans ( as it should be) people need to be reminded that it’s not limited to black Americans. If you are using your celebrity status as a platform to speak out you are subject to the same rules as everyone else.
I really wish all Americans could visit some of the countries I have been to and come back and talk about who’s privileged and who’s not. We are extremely lucky. All of us.

How far back do we go? Oppression isn’t/wasn’t strictly a black phenomenon. Nearly everyone’s ancestry is touched by it at some point.

What secret textbook dictates the right amount of years that has to elapse before we get on with it? Cause nobody’s talking about my oppression or your oppression or their oppression over there.

What’s the benefit of holding onto bitterness like an anchor that will sink you to the bottom until you drown? It’s an excuse. Take responsibility for your life and work your ass off. You’ll be rejected, not everything will work out, not everyone will love you — that’s human. Be better than that.

The world is a scary place nowadays, all this so called "freedom of speech" we are meant to have. People used to be able to have an opinion, now any opinion that doesn't match another opinion, and you're automatically called a Racist, Ignorant etc

Comedy shows that were made years ago are now apologising and removing episodes, when the greatest thing about Comedy shows is they show our own hypocrisy and flaws in human history and how we are now able to poke fun at eachother, we aren't allowed to do that apparently anymore. They are scared to death of offending any group of people, nothing will be acceptable soon.

If we can't look at our past and see it as a growing point, then we'll just forever be in a circle of people not being able to have a joke with each other.

Certain stuff was extremely messed up in the past, the majority of the world acknowledges that and is able to see right from wrong. So why are we suffering for the behaviour of a group of idiotic individuals? Especially when we are talking about hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

So people and corporations can virtue signal, increase their wealth and power and shame others into silence. What did you think any of this was about, change? Its about power.

How quickly the oppressed can become the oppressors.

I kept telling my people to stop sharing that quote because Hitler never said it in the first place. I looked for it years ago. It’s been circulating for a long time. I do understand how one can interpret the scripture and then begin to assume that those who claim to be the children of Israel may not actually be, but attempt to prove that point with actual scholarship and the doctrine itself.

People do a horrible job of going to primary sources and researching in general. My search to learn about the origins of the Hebrew people 10 years ago is the reason I stopped practicing the Abrahamic faiths. Anti-Semitic? Nah. They just think they’re Semitic. I’ve been trying to tell them they’re not...just had a debate about it on a podcast the other day.
