Great response video from NFL player Malcolm Jenkins

I meant to add this one(last video below) specifically where he talks about how his grandfather was in the army (and other black soldiers) and didn't come home to fan fare. They were killed and beat up for wearing their uniforms once back in the states, unable to participate in the GI bill etc.

Drew Brees can shove it about respecting his grandfather and the flag.

International embarrassment helped get the Civil Rights Act passed. But since then we have elected a clown to lead us. The dignity and moral authority that the US was trying to save then is already gone.


You are right that Trump is too ...to care about being embarrassed internationally.

I believe though that with the momentum, the demand could be met.

Apparently though I am the only one on this board to think that lol.

^^dwights are losing their minds. Let's keep our collective foot on their necks. While we have the momentum we need to see about Breonna, Sandy, and Atatiana!
I'm happy that the George Floyd murder was handled relatively quickly...but I'm always just a bit uncomfortable when the focus is solely on Black men and we appear to be an afterthought. Nothing moves without me...Black Woman.

Sigh. I have been getting a lot of bob marley song references in connection to this issue. And I’ve been rolling my eyes.

I don’t expect anyone to be perfect. But he was a woman beater. Seen with my own eyes as a very young child. If people knew the real Bob they would not be posting all this crap. I don’t believe you can be oppressing woman while trying to uplift your (half) race. That’s hypocrisy.

^^ ooooh @Ganjababy tell em how you really feel son!
For my part I always snicker when y/t folks quote Brother Bob. They be singing about our revolution over them!
...ie Jah would never give the power to a ********...I be like YOU...you're the bald head he's speaking of.
Bob is one of those artists I learned to separate his musical gift from his humanity...dude was on some hurt people hurt people vibe.
But he is one of my earliest musical influences...because of him I read the Bible! ...chew the meat and leave dem bones for Rita and all dem pickney.

Also Drew Brees is being purposefully obtuse. Ain't nobody got time for that. I'm also over Racism 101 for folks. It is not my.job to teach you how to be a decent human being. That's something yo Mama should have taught you and if you're grown there are plenty of avenues for growth and self help available. But I am not here to teach that lesson.

Wow, George Floyd's memorial service is being televised on most major networks. I dont watch Fox News so I dont know if its airing on that network. I'm still amazed at how the whole world is coming together and protesting racism and police brutality. Enough is enough. This has been an emotional few weeks. I pray that Breonna Taylor's murderers are also arrested and convicted.

I'm so surprised that the funeral is airing on Fox News.
