NFL Players Have a Candid Conversation About Racism | Patriots All Access

@Peter Brothers same thing goes for police and whites

Please read the above article which states players could not kneel during the National Anthem. The NFL was hurt financially so they banned kneeling. The NFL will experience a much larger loss of income when players kneel this time.

The violent BLM/antifa riots are not done by a few bad people. There are thousands of rioters who are causing millions in damage and loss of lives.

Go on the BLM site and you will see they are a Marxist organization. The leaders of BLM say they are trained Marxist.

Open your eyes, this is bad stuff. If you’re BLM of course you would approve of it but the rest of America needs to see what’s going on.

Joshua Vaughn that’s the comparison I was trying to make

patricia collet Eric Reed of the Panthers kneeled all of last year, maybe they banned it for a period but it’s allowed now. I understand it’s bad financially, but in the end they allowed it. To the few bar people points I made, let me say once again there’s lots of great protests going on, 100% peacefully. ANTIFA was declared a terrorist organization so using a terrorist organization to justify it is wrong, I don’t know anybody in my circle who is pro-rioting. Last, you don’t have to agree with the BLM organization. I don’t agree with it whatsoever, I think the funds they bring in to donate shouldn’t be going to the Democratic Party, it’d be best suited hands on. I’d say the same thing if it was going to the Republican Party. Point is, you don’t have to agree with the organization, just that for all lives to matter black lives must matter.

@Peter Brothers As you read in the article you will notice they did ban kneeling because the boycott hurt them financially. My point is the boycott will be larger this year because people are disgusted with the rioting and looting.

These riots are not about black lives. BLM is way beyond that. They want to change the power structure in this country.

If black lives really matter to BLM why aren’t they doing anything about black on black crime.

A seven year old black girl in North Carolins was shot in the head while sitting in the car eating ice cream. The shoot and little girl were both black

Her name was Aaliyah Norris

Black on black crime in Chicago is horrific, why aren’t there BLM riots there?

This has nothing to do with justice or black lives. If that were the case these people would be demanding changes in the black communities.

The black communities with all the black on black crime are democratic cities run by democrats. BLM is giving money to the dems and the dems support BLM.

Progressives want to progress past our form of government to a Marxist regime. The black rights thing is a smoke screen.

Is their racism in America? Yes. Is it systemic? No

They kneel we walk

beauty_bomb ya literally missed the point. I don’t really care who initiates it, I’m just saying systematic racism doesn’t exist.

Peter Brothers send me the evidence. This claim is utterly ridiculous. A white person with the same qualifications as a black person isn’t being paid more.

Wow! You really aren’t listening. To say that these stories are BS?? It’s unfortunate that you can’t have a little empathy and listen to their stories. You’re view of the world could be alot different.

Stop Playing The Game Epi.org was my source. But you seem to deny that systemic racism exists. Here’s a few examples: unemployment has spiked 16.4% for blacks and 12.4% for whites during covid, blacks have been significantly less represented than Hispanics and Asians despite being 13% of the population (more than both of those groups), 57/535 members of Congress are black, whites are paid more than blacks at every educational level, average white income in 2018 was $42.7K while blacks was $24.7K, black women made 66% less than the average white man in 2018, should I go on? This isn’t difficult information to find, all I did was search systemic racism examples and a list of 25 examples came up. You clearly have time to look at a video of why it’s apparently fake, but look it up and it’s clear as day. You’re choosing to be ignorant.

Peter Brothers But do you realize this can all be explained by education level? Since blacks have less education and work lower end jobs, they are a) more replaceable (which is why the unemployment is higher) and b) lower end jobs pay less. You proved whites are payed more than blacks, but you didn’t prove they are payed more at the same education level. You didn’t show me what a white person with a 4 year bachelors makes compared to a black person with the same degree or a white person with no college and a black person with no college. It’s not systematic racism because white people pursue higher degrees and therefore receive better paying jobs. I would agree that there was systematic racism before the civil rights movement in the 1960’s and this systematic racism lead to white people having more generational wealth and a better chance to pursue opportunities. But today, systematic racism doesn’t exist. Yes I understand that a larger percentage of blacks are poor compared to whites, so maybe they have to work harder, but they still have all of the opportunities that white people have today. And when it comes to congress, we vote. If you want to vote for a black congressmen go ahead. If you want to go out in the public and encourage a black person to run in your district, good for you. But the lack of black candidates is the reason they are underrepresented. It’s not because we aren’t voting for them. And dude I’m not choosing to be ignorant, I always pursue the truth and if I’m wrong, I couldn’t be happier to side with you and change my mind.

Lead him down that path? Forget his path, the reason he was in that altercation was because he was accused of using a counterfeit $20 bill. In Minnesota using less than $1,000 of counterfeit is up to 1 year in prison or up to a $3,000 fine, not 8 minutes and 46 seconds with a knee on your neck. Get rid of your prejudices, you say that you’re sad but the first response you have to this video is regarding your association of blacks to drugs and crimes.

@Peter Brothers He should not have died but let’s get real. The guy had a long rap sheet. He and a few other thugs broke into a pregnant woman’s house to rob her. Floyd held a gun to her pregnant abdomen.

You can’t forget his path. His path brought him to that moment. He had a long history of drug abuse and was high when he was arrested. Did I mention he held a gun to a pregnant woman’s abdomen!

Peter Brothers why forget his path? It was the path that he has been on for a long time that lead him down that road. All decisions has consequences and that goes for all races. And let’s not forget the long rap sheet of his. Just hope that your wife never goes through what he put another’s wife through. I’m sure you’ll feel differently if that was your house that got broken into and it was your pregnant wife that had a gun pointed at her.

Or they can use the voice they’ve worked so hard to earn in order to better society and the world in which they live. Whether or not they want it, they are community leaders just by being public figures. It’s in everyone’s best interest for them to use that opportunity like this.
