So what are we missing? A blind man can see what is happening in the deliberate delayed or non-drafting of Shedeur Sanders by the NFL
Deion is a confident Black man who is an excellent Father who has raised his sons in his image. They, too, are confident Black men. What scares America more than confident, self reliant, Black folks, Black Men especially? Nothing!
This public rejection of Shedeur is about so much more than football. The messaging is an age old message intended to be heard and internalized by folks far beyond the Sanders family.
This public flogging of Shedeur, Deion by extension, smacks of America's history of making sure Black folks, Black men especially, know and are kept in our place.
This rejection of Shedeur smacks of America's history of promoting that Black men, the backbone of football, are not smart or strategic enough to be coach or quarterback. WHO is running this country? WHAT is their overall mission? WHO is their ultimate target in their relentless pursuit to return America to her previous state of "glory"?
Is not this situation reminiscent of the public humiliation and rejection of Colin Kaepernick? WHO was behind the obvious collusive efforts of the owners to make sure that never again will Colin play? So do you still think it a coincidence what we see happening to the Sanders Family?
NONE of this is by accident. There is little this country enjoys more than tearing down Black men. While this is awful, Deion is a strong and strategic Black man. His very being is the source of ire for small and racist minds. He and his sons will be OK. They will come back strong. They are built for this...
Black folks, love Deion or hate him, do not join this bandwagon of hate against him and his children. See the larger picture and don't support the double standard applied only to us, by which we are judged and expected to quietly abide. Don’t be the crab pulling a successful Black family back into the barrel.
As any good Father should, Deion nurtured and guided the talent of his children. Were he not Black, it would not be a problem. His confidence would not be labeled or condemned as arrogant. Conversely, it would be expected and celebrated along with the confidence of the children he raised.
Black folks don’t be the voice or provide the convenient Black face of deflection being used solely to represent an excuse for anti-Black racist sentiment and the messaging of others. Don’t do the[ir] dirty work. Stand in unity rejecting the double standard. Support the Sanders!
Keep your head up Shedeur! Don't let them break you. You are built for this AND we've got your back!
Black folks, let's get 'Black to the Basics', recreate and support our own sports leagues. Stand in Solidarity! IJS...

You are absolutely correct!
ReplyDeleteMandrill and Mayfield were horrible human beings off the field but they got all the praise and support!
The SandersMEN - are upstanding citizens, great grades, respectful and confident! They have a father who not only showed them how it was done but taught them to be good humans first!
This society do not want them to be able to do it on their own. They want them BEGGING! But these kids don’t BEED THE NFL’s money. They have made their own ALREADY
I hope when a team does select him he tells them to kick rocks!
All these bilack billionaires and millionaires need to make their own damn system since they just want to use us and never let us get ahead. They are greasy and selfish.
Shader you are great! No matter what round or pick! Stay strong young man! They just Jealous!!!!!!
Old tactics require Black folks to use the old blueprint with new and consistent tactics!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are spot on! This is nothing new to us, we see exactly what’s happening. We have to support each other as never before.
