Donte Stallworth: Equality for African-Americans in This Country Has Always Been a Divisive Topic

RUSH EXCERPT:

STALLWORTH: "I think this country begin to list ton why the players began to protest the issues. I would say equality for African-Americans in this country has always been a dwee sizive topic, unfortunately, all the way back to slavery, to and amistad case and all the way to the war on drugs. The fact that they’re pleading for the nation to listen — the message that we’re trying to get out to the rest of the country about social justice issues, but not just in a way that can be seen divisive. These players are actually on the ground doing things that are trying to move the needle in a Progressive way to help criminal justice reform. And a number of other issues that these players have been engaged in, not just since Colin Kaepernick decided do take a knee a year ago. But also previous to that. Many players have been in the community, on USO tours. So the fact that these players are just stirring up controversy and following up with action is completely absurd."
