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.

Good gosh. Made my head spin...enough to make me wonder if someone has something unsavory on him.

I was remarking on another thread-I think the Left is calling in all of their chits. On everything from everyone.

I had a lot of respect for that. He initially wasn’t making a deal of it himself, he just wasn’t going. It was a private thing, but there is no way the media would let it stay that way.

At least, that is how I remember it.

Very obvious this was a set up since his initial interview. He’s in on it with the NFL and media. The purpose is to get your average white guy who is a causal observer to think it’s normal to hate the flag.

I wonder what they have on him to get him to turn so quickly.

"It does look like a publicist may have written it."

I hope he didn't have Rod Rosenstein proof-read it for him.

He's whoring himself out.

"It’s funny, actually. Watching all the white athletes and script readers falling all over themselves showing us how black they are. "

I wonder how the black athletes like Charles Barkley, Joe Horn, Marcus Davenport and a few of the others who came out in defense of him, feel about him now. He's made them look like fools.

It is so funny. Did Drew grow up rich? I grew up in a broken home, all white. Not a day goes by that I blame “the system” for my problems. Hell, I could have had a drug problem, but thankfully I didn’t. Never smoking. Did mess with weed once in awhile as an adult. Of course, alcohol as most of us do. But, growing up poor is not an excuse to committ crimes. Ah yes, I forgot that all blacks are innocent/s. I guess we can’t mention the fact of not committing a crime.

This is getting creepy. Did he post this from a re-education camp?

Well said. I'm assuming "woke" Roger Goodell gave Brees an approved script for his post. Post this, OR ELSE.

And on top of that the lockdown has made us realize that we really don’t miss it, anyway. 34 posted on 6/5/2020, 11:04:37 PM by dfwgator (Endut! Hoch Hech!)

Yup.
He sounds like one of the poor souls from Stalin’s re education camps.
Self flagellation is not a very pretty sight.
Did they say threaten to “hurt him bad” in NFL games?
Poor guy.

Any white player on any football team is held hostage by the fact that 65% of his team at a minimum are black and have a mean IQ of probably 75 and think Al Sharpton and Cornel West are really smart

“He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself.”
“He loved Big Brother.”

-George Orwell “1984”
