Charles Tillman:
Today showed me there are still Americans that refuse to give up their status and privilege and they will fight at all cost to maintain their perceived superiority. There is room for all of us.

Matt Forte:
Crazy how white people are permitted to storm the capitol, destroy property in the name of patriotism, allowed to terrorize America and black people since before it’s inception and be held to little or no accountability for their actions. But we’re the thugs, savages and hoodlums

Now y’all know if a crowd of black people were to gather and do this to a playground let alone the capitol it’d be a wrap for each person on the other side of law enforcement!

A woman lost her life today over this foolishness! I wonder if any of 45’s supporters ever stopped to think to themselves.... would he be willing to go to the same extent for them? We all know the answer but the issue is that the standard of leadership accepted has to be raised!

Stop saying stick to football like that’s our only purpose on this earth. We (football players) have every right to speak on whatever we feel no matter the situation.
