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 Rodney King riots happened in 1992. What have the Democrat mayors of any American cities done to improve policing since then? Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles, Baltimore?

It reminds me of a time years ago when I visited a church on a “social justice” Sunday and the prayer of confession required me to confess to social sins I hadn’t committed. That kind of prayer is supposed to be general enough for a person to call to mind his own actual sins. This one didn’t. That and the whole gist of the service almost made me walk out. I’m not a fan of progaganda.

It is enough to question whether Brittany and Drew are really Christians. Do they worship money so much that they willingly adopt the arguments of godless cultural marxism in order to continue their future cash flow? When Christians submit to cultural marxists and adopt their language, I hope they remember 2 Corinthians 6:15 - “ What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?”

So, there are no grateful American patriots in the NFL? None? Not one that will proudly stand for this Nations Flag? All are traitors?

Drew knows that if his receivers were to develop “butter fingers” his career would disappear...as would his $50 million a year.

I am neither proud,nor ashamed,of being white.Martin Luther King was right on the money when he dreamed of his children being judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

The cuck who changed his mind 180 degrees in hours, and had the arrogance to lecture the President on accepting disrespect to the flag; is wife is now pontificating on America and insulting it.

If this family had any honor they would preform hari kari and stop embarrassing mankind with their behavior

(from the article):" Her own comments started with Brees writing, “WE ARE THE PROBLEM.”

We are NOT THE PROBLEM !
A sadistic animal with a badge who committed murder is the problem.
His prior legal and criminal history is the problem,
and despite several known instances of assaultive behavior and complaints
no police union corrective action was ever applied.

If Brees doesn’t retire before season starts he’s crazy.

A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.

Is this one four, five, six? I've lost count already.
