Famed Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown speaks to CNN after meeting with President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday.
JIM BROWN: We're not bourgeoisie, we're not above the people. But I feel in love with him because he really talks about helping African-America, black people, and that's why I'm here.

Not just black people, Jim.
ALL people.
I must confess that I did not know Mr. Brown was alive, much less a supporter of Trump.
What black people need is an economic revival that is so strong, that it lifts them beyond the chains of dependency of the democrat party.
Looking at Ray Lewis now, he lost a lot of weight. Must be jacked with roids’ back then..
Isn’t he a muzzy?
The black people of today need to be freed from the stagnant low expectations of liberalism.
>>Not just black people, Jim.<<
Trump specifically spoke to AAs and said that he understood they were losing ground as a result of liberal policies. Trump made it clear that his policies will help bring AAs out of their plantations (my word not his).
A rising tide raises all boats.
In the interview, the reporter asked if Brown voted for him. He replied,"I did not vote for him. But I have been respected, I have been listened to, and we definitely have a partnership."
Jim Brown is about as socialist as one can be. And he wears African clothes.
I know, I know....but Jim Brown is old-school so I'll give him a pass. His generation uses "black people" as their own.
Helluva football player. Good actor. Still the greatest running back in NFL history. Even Ray Nitschke didn't want to tackle him.
They need a revival of character, primarily of men doing their duty as husbands and fathers and citizens, and the women making sure they do so.
Just once I want to see him make it to that truck in "The Dirty Dozen."
“Looking at Ray Lewis now, he lost a lot of weight. Must be jacked with roids’ back then..”
Ray Lewis was not there. It was Jim Brown and the pastor.
He did pretty good dropping those grenades in the German bunker, but still not elusive enough that he got shot after the deed. Barry Sanders would not have gotten shot.
(the movie Dirty Dozen reference there)
“Jim Brown is about as socialist as one can be. And he wears African clothes.”
And they say Trump only appeals to white supremacists. Imagine that.
Trump isn’t getting the hang of that racism thing, is he?
Exactly right. Nice to see Trump embracing this issue.
There’s a little nine hole Par 3 in the San Fernando Valley that “Mr Brown” still plays at. He moves pretty slowly but can still swing a club.
