George Foreman is an example of a black man who doesn't believe in this kind of garbage.

The 1968 Summer Olympics saw the black power salute and other demonstrations by other black athletes. Foreman, in contrast, was criticized by some activists for carrying an American flag into the ring of his 1968 Olympic Heavyweight bout. When he was later asked if he had any regrets, he said "I wish I'd carried two." He was also asked if he had been pressured at the time to join in the protests, and he said "yes, they tried to push me. But I was the heavyweight boxer -- I could take care of myself."

Not surprisingly, that kind, patriotic, ambitious American who happens to be black has had a wildly successful, happy life in this country. And we shouldn't lose sight of other patriotic black Americans -- they all don't share the views of the piece of garbage who wrote that article.

Very true, Brandon Tatum had one of the best responses to the loser spoiled NFL players and has gone viral:
