Proof? LOL.
And wait, does he only employ black players? (No.. so bye bye narrative)
One guy out of 100’s of professional teams.. wow. You sure proved your point (not)
Do you think the average person is racist?
I'm just saying the owner of the Cowboys treats his players like he owns them. In many ways. And one of the reasons he loves owning these big black bucks is that it makes him feel like a plantation owner.
Yes most people are racist. I'm a liberal and I'm racist. I don't completely disagree with you cons when it comes to black people.
A lesson in plantation politics from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
The NFL is guilty of a plantation mentality that is diminishing the humanity of black players who dare to exercise their Constitutional rights to peacefully protest injustice and inequality in America.
Evidently, if Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has his way, our nation now has a new litmus test for patriotism: Salute the flag or suffer.
Luckily, the league won't shoot its kneeling players in the head — as one of our town's most visible preachers said might happen if the players carried on this way in North Korea. But it seems hell-bent on shaming and sullying them into submission.
What we are seeing is plantation politics at its finest: A ruling class of wealthy white owners — with Jones as its front man — unwilling to meet black players halfway.
I thought Jones was on the right track last month when he locked arms with his players and took a knee
before the national anthem was played. Figured he was looking for middle ground, a way to let the players stand — or kneel — on the principle for which they're advocating while placating fans upset with what they consider a disrespect of the flag.
Instead, Jones called a trick play. His kneeling with his players before the Arizona Cardinals game was a one-and-done publicity stunt aimed at putting an end to the protests rather than propagating genuine solidarity.
Jones may think he's doing black football players a favor by holding a whip over their heads — threatening to bench anyone who refuses to stand during the national anthem — if they cross the line.
But what he's doing is feeding the racist vitriol that too long has divided this country: The people who shamelessly tell young black athletes to "go back to Africa" if they don't want to salute the flag.
And, my favorite, the people who are quick to call Colin Kaepernick — the former San Francisco quarterback who became the face of these protests — and others "ungrateful" for daring to exercise their freedom of speech rather than just worshiping the mighty dollar.
Let me ask you something. When is the right time for black people to protest?
