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.”

Mark twain called this a corn pone opinion. Tell me where a man gets his corn pone and I’ll tell you his opinion
“shut up, you pathetic bitch”
Hey. You stole my line.
Drew and his wife need to buy some kneepads.
Were I him I’d take the rest of my fortune and emigrate to a country that allowed isolated individualism to raise my kids. He will NEVER be forgiving in America for standing up for the flag.
This makes me puke. In order to lift up one group, one shouldn’t have to tear down another group. Racial equality means treating all fairly. To demonize an entire group of people for the skin color they were born with and did not choose and cannot change is the very definition of racism.
That part is true, on both counts, you racist scumbag.
1) Educate yourselves in something constructive.
2) Quit being sorry racist scumbags.
“#38 that is positively replusive.”
If they really wanted to show what George Floyd was about, they should have held a gun to that fat women’s (dressed in pink) belly like Saint George did to the pregnant woman in the home invasion he participated in!
And where are these friends now? Where are they speaking up for you, talking about the support you've given poor communities, charities, etc.? Seems like your "friends" are perfectly content to watch you fall all over yourselves trying to scrub off your white skin. Go away, Brittany and Drew, you're both disgusting.
Agree
He and his family will be hunted forever
Best thing for his children is to go start a new life using his talents to teach and coach. Even help with mission work. He’s young and rich enough to escape. New Zealand or Australia, Puerto Rico maybe.
There is no way that fat chick is with the fbi.
I admit I could be wrong, but I just dont see it.
“WE ARE THE PROBLEM.”
= = =
Someone needs to update “We Are the World”.
Just change a few words.
Get these white sorry apologists on a big video to sing it.
We are the problem
We are the sinners
We are the ones who make a darker day, so let’s start giving($)
There’s no choice we’re given
To save our own lives we’re kneeling
It’s true it’ll be a better day, when just you are living
Speak for yourself. Let them attack you-for the benefit of us all. s/o
More like his front line didn’t care to protect him, his career is over and his body broken.
If Drew and his wife care that much about it - he should step aside and let Kapernick take his place.
Pronoun difficulties, I see. FU.
Didn’t know they were a two pussy family.
YOU may be part of a problem but don't count any of us in it and. Lose the bigoted viewpoint that you speak for anyone other than yourself.
Yeah, we white are all the blame. We did it all. Every OFFENSE ever committed since Adam, it is white men’s fault. Yup, we are the blame. Guilty, just toss it all on our asses. We are guilty. Throw us in jail. Yup. (sarcasm off). I have never owned a slave. I have always treated people the way they treated and spoke to me. That is what my dear old mother taught me. Treat me like crap and I will reply in kind. Treat me with the same respect you desire to have and I will do so in kind. Don’t expect me to take the blame for a bunch of European nationals who rounded up slaves and shipped them to the USA and sold them. I wasn’t here and didn’t participate in it.
It is amazing and disturbing that so many people are so terrified of the outrage mob.
Did ANY of his teammates say anything in support of him?
