Drew Brees' Instagram Message To President Trump
Instagram ^ | June 5, 2020 | Drew Brees

To @realdonaldtrump

Through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates, and leaders in the black community, I realize this is not an issue about the American flag. It has never been. We can no longer use the flag to turn people away or distract them from the real issues that face our black communities.

We did this back in 2017, and regretfully I brought it back with my comments this week. We must stop talking about the flag and shift our attention to the real issues of systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, police brutality, and judicial & prison reform. We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history! If not now, then when?

We as a white community need to listen and learn from the pain and suffering of our black communities. We must acknowledge the problems, identify the solutions, and then put this into action. The black community cannot do it alone. This will require all of us.

Oh my, that whole thing is priceless, this line especially is a doozie of a lie. I wonder if Disney wrote it for him so he can still get the job with them?

Drew, you'll forever be a loser in my book now.

This has nothing to do with the “real issues that face our black communities.” This was about promoting communism. The football player who started kneeling was a racist communist. He wanted to promoted social justice communism instead of playing football. He hates America and hates the national anthem and its flag and all that we stand for.

Does Brees not realize that the flag his grandfathers fought for symbolize all true justice for all people?

How can one’s mind be so waffled?

Well gee golly. If the nfl playahs (both kinds) cared that much, they’d live on a $100K/ year and give the rest to the struggling masses. And, sorry drew. You too can phu cough.

The Vietnamese community came here in the 70s with little English language skills and nothing but the shirts on their backs, Yet in 1 generation they now have the highest standard of living of any ethnic group in America including whites. Having my kids go to school with those kids I know why. Their parents generally stay together and expect academic excellence from their children.

If you do the crime what does your color matter in the punishment.

Yeah Richard Pryor felt that way too, until he actually visited a penitentiary.

Why doesn’t he just SHUT UP?? Really. He just keeps spewing his white guilt b.s.. Who is he trying to impress? Blacks hate him, whites hate him. He has no group to go to. Maybe he and Romney can start a group.

Why are you posting this to President Trump? He has succeeded in passing prison reform, and increased black employment beyond anyone else. Or did you miss that??? Shame on you for becoming a tool of the Left.

Exactly. The statement does sound like it was written from a prison camp. Weird and cowardly.
