Former NFL Player Burgess Owens Claims Socialists’ Anti-White Agenda Is Hurting Black Communities
Former NFL player Burgess Owens said socialism and Marxism are pushing an “anti-white” and “anti-American” agenda that’s hurting the black community.
Burgess was discussing the NFL’s ratings boost as national anthem protests begin to fade and said America is now fighting for its soul.
“The biggest take away from the last two years — we are in the fight for the heart and soul of our nation,” Burgess said on “Fox & Friends” Friday. “We fight for our American, the Judeo-Christian values and we’re fighting against a very evil force of socialism and Marxism that destroy everything they come close to. The NFL has been changed forever and people don’t realize this. But it used to be a place where we come together, no matter what our political persuasion was and there was unity because we had God, country and family.”
“The Marxists and socialists made that so that we have these young people coming out of these environments — They’re anti-American, they’re Anti-white, they’re anti-capitalist and that is the message that now is going around the world and throughout our communities — That this is a place that’s not for black Americans,” he added.
Burgess claimed the far left ideology is “evil” and seeks to destroy people’s “belief in God.”
“It’s an ideology that is actually as evil as it comes. It destroys our belief in God,” he said. “You look at the American black community, which once led out country believe it or not in the commitment to marriage and commitment to education, to entrepreneurship when I was growing up — that has turned totally upside down because we have these black elitists, particularly, the one you just mentioned that care less about our community. They care about their profits, their profitability and their prestige. And that’s what elitists do. That’s what socialists do.”
“I’ve watched as I’ve grown up, the impact of these socialists. Our greatest enemy is not white supremacists. It’s black elitists,” Burgess argued. “Those who live the American dream, who get a job for $100,000 a year as politicians and come out as multimillionaires, because what they do is they betray their own base. The people that believe in them, they give them up so they can get their ideology in place.”
