But keep on pretending you have "grown up advice" for blacks.


Ok, you can keep pretending you actually have done anything for minorities.

(Don’t bother giving us a resume. Keep your fantasy world to yourself).

Carry on.

If anyone would’ve insulted Jim Brown racially back in his heyday, he’d beat the ish out of you. And I mean BEAT THEIR ASS!

So is it okay if I do the same? You know...since you all love Jim Brown now.

I know one thing. You don’t have to be black to be aware of the credibility Jim Brown has regarding civil rights. His sports numbers speak for themselves. He has a lot of acting credits to his name, and when Jim Brown speaks, I believe a lot of people listen.

Will they listen now? Doubtful. Like Dak Prescott, Cowboys QB, Brown has chosen to speak his own mind, not just follow the crowd. Well, apparently the ‘black community’ doesn’t like that. There has been a lot of public pushback on Dak for his anti-kneeling position. I don’t think those harassing Dak have the guts to do the same to Brown.

Brown has more on his civil rights/SJW resume than ALL the NFL kneelers combined. Throw in all the social media big mouths incessantly whining about the players constitutional rights, and Brown still is WAYYY ahead. Seems like many minorities will gladly champion people like Brown...as long as they stay in their lane, and go with the prevailing mind set. There will never be any progress in race relations as long as blacks who think differently than the crowd are pressured to ‘fall in line’. It completely invalidates the credibility of any given issue they support.

I’m not saying every black NFL player should bow down to Jim Brown, but they sure as heck would gain knowledge and perspective by at least listening to him.
Are you even black?
