    Read this from @jelani9 : https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/from-louis-armstrong-to-the-nfl-ungrateful-as-the-new-uppity … Then see how often bigots are using the word “ungrateful” - like in the graphic below.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/912846123148218368 …

        “Ingrates” & “degenerates” sounds like Bernice is only proving the players point. Theyre treated less because their PoC.

        I also want to point out that even though conservative family members still watch NFL, they still call it the National Felony League.

        How many people do you know still call it that, because they are the ones proving the players point of racism in our country.

        Also it's ironic to me how white women keep trying to speak for all of America. It's like they can't even acknowledge the rest of us exist.
