Brittany Brees: We are the problem, we are sorry
Yahoo ^ | 6/7/20 | Michael David Smith

Posted on 06/07/2020 6:48:45 AM PDT by workerbee

After Drew Brees apologized multiple times last week for suggesting that NFL players who kneeled during the national anthem disrespected the country, his wife apologized as well.

Brittany Brees posted a lengthy message on Instagram that featured two quotes from Martin Luther King: in the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends,” and, “Not only will we have to repent for the sins of bad people, but we also will have to repent for the appalling silence of good people.”

Her own comments started with Brees writing, “WE ARE THE PROBLEM.”

***SNIP***

“That’s the problem we are not listening, white America is not hearing. We’re not actively LOOKING for racial prejudice. We have heard stories from men and women we have known and loved for years about the racism that occurred in their lives stories that were never shared or talked about because somehow they were considered normal. To all of our friends and anyone we hurt, we will do better. We want to do better, we want to HEAR you, and we will fight for you because thinking we are not part of the problem is checking the box it means we are are not doing enough. It’s our job to educate ourselves. We are sorry.”

The Brees family needs to relearn that it is better to remain silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

She is right. Black people have a lot of valid complaints. And their local politicians ignore them. And when it starts to become obvious, they try to deflect it into some national racist issue, so the focus moves away.

Sad really, self loathing is not a good look and in no way a good roll model for children.

Brittany Brees would be better served by getting a gun and training.

I’ve always thought the balding Brees was a tool.

Now, it is perfectly clear as you point out.

People need to stop deflecting their local government problems. Most of the issues concerning the manslaughter of David Floyd had to do with the local governments of Minneapolis and Minnesota.

He's finished. Sales of his jersey as well as the white support of that team will plummet. The further virtue signaling, along with how they adjust the stadium seating, is going to drive the NFL to an all time low.

I don't care.... the pathetic pace of the game along with the rule changes have made it unwatchable.

And which party runs things there?

- I’m not sorry for being white

- I’m not sorry for working and affording nice things

- I’ll never kneel or surrender

- I have no sympathy for violent criminals

- Your rioting is not legitimate protest

- I don’t care how much force is used if you act like a savage

Drew Brees is yet another servile cuck in a pathetically long line of cowardly sackless cupcakes attempting to buy protection by paying off the mob with virtue-signalling.

When that doesn’t work, the level of wokeness is awakened even further with cash donations to various black supremacist and communist causes in an even greater craven and spineless bending-over-and-spreading-the-cheeks attempt to pacify and placate the mob.

But sometimes even that fails to appease the goons sufficiently as Target, Walmart, Shoprite and 7-Eleven have recently discovered.

We’ll start seeing gangs rioting at the games, just like the soccer hooligans in Europe.
