Obama never did any of that? "The police acted stupidly", "If I had a son he would have looked like Trayvon Martin", 'The Ferguson Police Department needs to work with the community not against it". Yessir nobody could unite the nation like Obama.
Drew Brees is getting killed on social media for his opinion.

When did this Change? According to the US Flag law should be only Patch or Pin. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...ARAB&usg=AOvVaw26mzcU9CBKrTlPlawWPvQR&cf=1
Twice on this forum. Once in this thread and again on Monday when I mentioned national guard presence in the parking lot.
Is there a limit?
No sir it won't... The black community leadership in the big cities get rich off of racism
And racist like those Georgia dudes don't help the situation. I hope they can charge and get the max with those 2 guys. They are a case where they actually did hunt down someone and kill them. Let the police do their job. That one feels more like a racist attack than this police officer.
One final thing on this issue and I am done. I have tried to express that poor whites should have been on the front lines of this police brutality issue long before George Floyd. As this thread has illustrated, the killings of whites come up when their is an effort to blunt the voices of Blacks on this issue. It has always been puzzling to me how poor Whites will cling to the authority and institutions of America even when they are mistreated. The plights of the Black community and poor whites are so similar yet they remain the most politically apart. The best explanation I have heard on this came from Lyndon B Johnson before his transformation in the 60's. Johnson was a staunch segregationists who said, "If you can convince the poorest white that he is better than the best Black, then you can rob him, blind. Heck, he will even empty his pockets for you."
Yessir, and Trump is doing a jam up job. Haven’t seen this much division since the early 70s.
Of course.
I respect kaepernick. Others don’t. Typical stuff. Guy had made a lot of money regardless.
So that's it. You elected a man to do the same things Obama did. Time to stick it to the libs. No one better to lead that charge than Trump, the lifelong liberal. That was no doubt the best thing for our country. Out of 16 people, we ended up with the Republican Obama, just much less sophisticated.
Exactly where Obama left it. The ones who have stirred it up are the Dems and their merry supporters the make it up as you go media. The unemployment was low in that grouping and did not hear a pip. Set up enterprise zones in cities for minorities. Met with black religious leaders to strengthen relations. Yep that's one terrible guy.
The division that Obama caused got Trump elected. The media helped and continues today.
Wow you`re the ultimate team player and family man, gave $5 million of your own money to benefit the local community ravaged by Katrina, a Christian(maybe that`s his sin), and you refuse to support morons who disrespect our flag and country by their actions, and "fans" shout "F___ Drew Brees" in the streets??? Our country is a sad shell of what it used to be. The only thing Brees did wrong was apololgize. If this is the way most pro athletes(or college I hate to say it), it may be time for some of us to give up sports.
Now if all the rioters and looters could follow his example
Yeah, lying about the President being a Russian asset and dragging us through a nonsense impeachment really brought us together.
You must have been in a coma during the Obama years. The only difference between Obama and Nixon is that Nixon used campaign workers to spy on his political opponents Obama used our intelligence agencies.
This one may not count, because the guy told the officer he had a gun...
We'll never know the full numbers, especially when many are swept under the rug, planted guns/drugs, cover ups, unreported harassment, illegitimate stop and frisks, etc...even one is one too many, especially when the institution is designed to protect and serve. That goes for blacks, whites, or any other race/American. Not only is the person that was killed affected, but mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, grandfathers, grandmothers, sons, daughters, cousins, wives, girlfriends, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and even entire communities are left dealing with the wake of these things. Lives on all sides are forever changed. Better training may be one solution, especially when most states require more training for barbers than they do for a person to walk around with a gun and badge. I understand that there are good and bad people in this world, and cops are no different. With that said, when these incidents arise there should be procedures in place that allow for full transparency and swift strict action against violators of the public's trust. If these issues are not dealt with, then you deal with the growing distrust which is happening between the government/politicians/police, etc... and we the people who provide them power.
This is something that will not change overnight, but we can't continue to ignore issues and expect them to just go away. It all starts with each one of us being aware/accountable for our own actions, and then working together as Americans to find solutions to issues that plague our country, even if a particular issue doesn't directly affect you, it may affect your neighbor, coworker, friend, etc...

Reagan was a lifelong liberal too. Who did you want another Bush, Hillary? Trump has been far more conservative in his picks for the Supreme Court than either of the Bushes. Justice Roberts has been the biggest liberal asset ever appointed.
The kneeling isn't what got me disliking CK. IT was the kill pigs socks and the Fidel Castro shirts etc..
Whatever I am, it is your intellectual and moral superior. I told you the motivation, but I accept no blame for you inability or unwillingness to recognize it. After interacting with you I need my thesaurus to look up synonyms for idiot. Oh, look! Adcoop is the first one!
When is the last time you heard someone say "NO! You have to be white!" to have the inalienable rights afforded to a U.S. citizen?
There are a whole lot of people that are still alive and can express to their children and grandchildren that’s exactly what they were told.
How much of a snowflake do you have to be for "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon" to be inflammatory? LOL.
Disappointed not b/c I'm a Brees fan or Saints fan, but simply b/c it's perceived as yet another win for the intolerant PC left. It's not really a win, of course, because Brees obviously hasn't done a 180 on his view of the flag in the span of 24 hours. The left just wants to hear the words and that's good enough for them.
I'll never understand why people immediately capitulate and apologize and beg forgiveness from the left in situations like this. Rarely is anyone willing to just hunker down and take some negative media heat for a few days. If Brees had just stuck to his guns, this would have blown over within a week and the left would move to something else.
Remember when Mike Lindell made some comments about the Bible at a press conference with the presser and he was instantly and viciously vilified by the left. He didn't waver. Didn't apologize. He was demonized for a while, but it blew over within a few days and now it's forgotten.
The left are just your classic bully. Stand up to them and they'll buzz off. I don't know why people haven't figured this out by now.

Scratch my first, apparently misguided, post. Apparently, Brees suddenly felt the overwhelming urge to profusely apologize as he bent to the pressure of if you aren't sympathetic with each and every demand, or mantra of certain parts of the black community, one is automatically a racist. Not a thing wrong with his initial comments. But in this ultra PC world, nobody dares to do anything but bend over backwards to avoid the racist label that is thrown out if someone merely disagrees. So Brees as my new favorite player officially goes back to a person I never cared about one way, or the other.
I laugh you off because no rational human being can believe some of the things you say. I’m sure you’re too young to remember Nixon. I was passing out Nixon fliers in 1972 and thought at the time he was the best thing ever. If you think Trump is not corrupt then you are kidding yourself.
Plenty of things used to happen, and happen a lot. He said the white population in the state of SC says this all the time. When is the last time you, him, or I heard someone say this? How often do you hear it being said?
Just watched Around the Horn and all of the robots were flapping their lips about Drew Brees and others being willfully ignorant or not caring. Then that hollow fool, Tony Reali, talks about how Brees willful ignorance or simply not caring at least could start a dialogue. Ha! What a fool statement! People like Reali don't want a dialogue, they want to lecture and they insist on 100% compliance or you're Ben Tillman or an Uncle Tom.
Strange it all happened after meeting his girlfriend of Muslim religion and then there was his new found kneeling. He supports socialism by his support of Castro and the leader in Venezuela. There's more to his protests than sincerity. The millionaire NFL guys don't know what there asking for. I've turned them off before and I can do again.
You do realize that most of Congress is receiving monies from China or other foreign entities and they don't want anyone to stop the flow of cash. Since the Deep State that wants Trump out and have been at it before the election. How do you think Congress people come in with money and leave multi millionaires. Ex- Pelosi and her husband, Biden and his whole family, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff, Fienstein, and Harry Reid was really corrupt. So Trump being corrupt is a broad statement with only hearsay.
You do realize that Trump and his family have been in bed with China for over 20 years. He’s been dealing with them and Japan for years. Where the hell have you been
Yeah that's why he put tariffs on them cause he's in bed with them. You didn't acknowledge the others as being corrupt. Why is that?
He has actual businesses. They have open wallets.
More backlash for and against people who support the American flag or the police...
I wonder which 10 to 15 percent of Americans are just not very good people that Biden described???

On Monday, CBS reporter Matt Petrillo tweeted a photo of Di Bruno Bros. boarded up storefront on Chestnut Street, sharing that they were one of few businesses in Center City that remained open in the wake of Sunday nights protests. The image showed a posted sign with the Di Bruno Bros. logo offering complimentary lunch and beverage for all on-duty Philadelphia Police Officers.
After a swift outcry on social media, the sign was reportedly removed. On Tuesday, Di Bruno Bros. participated in a nationwide social media blackout intended to support Black Lives Matter activists. The post is below.
On Wednesday morning, several staff members shared a letter to the company’s management condemning their employer’s “support for police while neglecting those rightfully demonstrating against racial justice.” The letter asserts that even after taking down the sign, “Di Bruno Bros. management continued to offer both free lunch and preferential treatment to on-duty officers.” The letter states that, in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, employees intend to strike starting on June 5th if their demands, which include a public apology, a “meaningful and transparent donation” to the local BLM chapter, and a meeting with upper management, are not met.
