Burgess Owens: It Is Racism to Have Low Expectations of Black Children

RUSH EXCERPT:

MacCALLUM: "A lot to unpack there. Here now, Owens, former Super Bowl champion and offer of liberalism, or how to good stomach turn good men into whiners. Thank you very much for being here tonight. If you think the president was right to jump in on this or not?"
OWENS: "I tell you, what concerns me is another missed opportunity to give a message to kids who really need to hear this message message. 70% of black boys do not have a data in the household. If you look at the juvenile system, 85% of those kids don’t have dads. If you have a dad, you want him to stand up and do the right thing. In this case here, to apologize, they make mistakes in the very last thing, we make enough mistakes as it is. The last thing we need to teach our kids is it’s no big deal to steal, lie and cheat. The accountability, something will turn soured on the road, allow these young men, no matter how wealthy they are, to continue to lie, steal entry, they lose the accountability at some point."
MacCALLUM: "You sort of see an underlying message here between the NFL situation with kneeling on the field in this situation with the president is saying no, that’s not what I would do, essentially as a parent. This is what you need to teach in terms of respect and accountability. Do you think that the president as a positive message here for young — these young African-American men, or is it racist, as you just heard, charged?"
OWENS: "Was is racist is to say this with the way black people should think and respond. I’m thankful the president is drawing lines across the boards. We need to respect our flag, we need to respect our women, the laws. All the things that right now there are problems in the black community that are not being taught because men are not standing up and doing their jobs. At the end of the day, let’s have this conversation and at the end of the season let’s go back and get American people in these communities giving the right message to these young people about service and love of country, because they are not getting it from the marxists and socialists that are running the communities as we speak today."
