Seahawks Player Lashes Out at #BlackLivesMatter Leader for Misappropriating His Image
Truth Revolt ^ | 9/14/2015 | Mark Tapson/Richard Sherman

Posted on 09/15/2015 12:36:15 PM PDT by mojito

Racist Black Lives Matter leader “King Noble” made the mistake of assuming that every black man is onboard with the movement. As reported at Newsbusters, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman discovered that Noble posted the picture above of Sherman and a teammate in a post suggesting that the athlete approved of murdering whites. He expressed his disapproval in no uncertain terms on Noble's own website.

LANGUAGE WARNING:

“I did not believe this when I heard about it. I watched your videos. I started a life in the ghetto..I banged like a fool till I woke up. I was not suppressed by any man or woman, white or black.

I worked myself up from Compton High School to a scholarship at Stanford University and I did it myself. I take pride in what I have accomplished both as a black man, and an athlete. I could have stayed in LA and banged and used drugs and thought that it was all the white man’s fault. But that would be a lie. We are who we want to be, that is what is great about America. We are all born with the same chances in life..white or black…YOU choose to be a woman-abusing racist loudmouth. I would love to debate you on national TV. And if you condone senseless black shootings of whites and police officers, you better make that a debate on Springer, so I can bitchslap your ignorant ass!

You are what is keeping and making the black race look bad. Wake up fool. Do not glorify this half a man, he has worked for nothing. He chose to keep himself where he is, not the white people. It is time to take responsibility for your own actions, and not act like a stinking fool. Kids and young black men and women look at this site, and believe that they are abused. That is a bold-faced lie. It is out of the mouths of cheap thugs like you that are hurting our young and taking away the chances they have to make themselves a productive part of society. Brothers and sisters: the only slavery in America now is the one you put yourself into. Rise up like Doctor King as taught us, and be a real human being. We are all in this togehter, white and black. Peace to all, and I hope this stupid fake hate stops real soon. We are all brothers and sisters. Do not be fooled by the tyranny of evil men like this. Lift yourself up, educate yourselves, and work hard for a good life. No one owes you anything. Stand proud as a person of color, and do something meaningful with your life. I did and I am the best at what I do! Peace out, R Sherman.”

I know some here may dislike Sherman for the brashness of his on-field persona, but it took some courage to take a stand like this.

Funny how I didn't hear about this on ESPN.

Although I do not watch more than 30 minutes of football a year, I may have to watch Sherman. Bravo!

Now be aware your career may be over.

For this, he should get the ESPY Courage Award. But first he’d have to cut off his nuts.

Refreshing to hear from a grown-up who is also an athlete. Good for you, Mr. Sherman!

Mama Shawna - awful close to “Mama Sherman” who is famous in her own right with the fans at the local games. Sherman is brash on the field and in some of his interviews. But mostly he comes off in interviews as smart and respectful.

Of course what would one expect from an “Uncle Tom” making millions of dollars playing for rich white folks? /sarcasm

The first time I heard of Sherman was the post Superbowl game and I thought he was a loud-mouthed jerk. Over time, however, I have heard him speak outside the emotion of winning a Superbowl, and he is articulate and thinks before he speaks. Alas, his message is most likely going to fall on deaf ears because blacks prefer to think they are victims and it’s much easier to blame someone else for your problems than face the truth and look in the mirror for the real source of your lot in life. I hope blacks start to listen to his message, but idiots like Al and Jesse will try to silence him. Still, he is a model of someone who wanted something, worked hard, and got what he wanted...and did it without playing the victim.

So, what does M. Lynch have to say about this, before everyone gets all misty eyed?

The back-story for both Lynch and Sherman are pretty amazing. As I would imagine many of the stories of pro-atheletes. Parents that cared for them and watched out for them and a family that stuck together. I think it is Sherman's dad that still drives a garbage truck like he has done his entire life.

We need more people like him to speak up!

Is his middle name Tecumseh?

I don’t know about his opinions on race - but he sure is opinionated about candy! (Nice interview with a Japanese candy girl!)
