So happy that Tyler and Stephon Twitter are not afraid of standing up for what they believe. So tired of the prima Donna multimillionaire athletes like Lebron acting like all whites, especially police are out to get him. Can we do better, absolutely.
The majority of my black friends at my numerous nonprofit clients, most of which are blue collar workers, do not buy into these athletes complaints. A lot of them say, come into my neighborhood and help us with our problems instead of kneeling. Help us cultivate better fathers in our neighborhoods who stay home, teach their children by example and help them understand the need to respect authority and where there is injustice, fight the right way and not on the side of the road.
Also read a post by a black man with 4 boys, which was titled something like, LeBron, you don’t speak for me and my boys. Well articulated and thought out. Hit some of the items I mentioned above.
I have a foster daughter who is black, and over the years she has given me much insight. She is grown but I talk to her often. She talks of opportunity and jobs being the main needs where she was originally raised. I am very conscious of this need as a result.
