We all agree on that.
Care to comment on the obvious example of racism that the video shows? This is EXACTLY what racism in America looks like; a black man and a white man doing the exact same thing, black man gets told to shut up, white man gets told it's ok to express his opinion.
Racism is absolutely real, it absolutely still exists, and it will still do massive damage in America as long as it is around, and people keep denying it.
Except, now many black athletes (and many others) want Brees to shut up and be silent. That's racism according to your example. They were OK with Lebron doing it, but they're not OK with Brees doing it. Personally, I don't care what these athletes say or do, but this is obviously an situation where everyone is OK with athletes protesting as long as they agree with them... republican / democract or what / black.
