Burgess Owens On Colin Kaepernick

Burgess Owens blasts Colin Kaepernick’s lack of common sense, ‘elitism’

The former NFL said that ex-quarterback Colin Kaepernick is not in tune with the way the real world works. Colin has been out for three years, which is ‘an eternity’ to the NFL according to Owens.

“The real world shows you cannot be paid on your past or potential, we’re paid on actually earning it and he’s not earning it right now and that’s why he’s going to be out of the game, in my mind, for the rest of his life.”

Colin, who started a firestorm in the NFL when he decided to kneel during the national anthem to draw awareness to perceived racial and social injustices in the U.S., threw passes for about 40 minutes on Saturday at an Atlanta high school. While an NFL executive told ESPN his arm talent was “elite” and that he “threw the ball well,” Kaepernick left the field without a team and still out of the NFL.

Kaepernick’s workout session drew controversy because he changed the location at the last minute. From the 25 teams that were apparently scheduled to be at the training facility for the workout, about six teams were able to make it to the new location.

Owens, who played safety for 10 years for the Jets and Raiders, argued that there are too many young people graduating from college that think the way Kaepernick does.

“He’s interviewing for a job if I’m correct, and he’s asking people to pay him a lot of money and now he’s going to dictate to them the conditions? It doesn’t work that way in the real world,” he said.

“This is the result of our leftist colleges, having kids come out of school with no common sense [and] elitism. … You have to show up every day. You’re gonna have to play by the rules and if you don’t, you’re not gonna have a job.”

OBAMA’S EMPATHY-FREE PRESIDENCY

Empathy is a characteristic of divinity that separates man from all other animals. Defined as “the vicarious experiencing the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another,” it is synonyms with being on the same wavelength or having compassion. Empathy is selflessness. It results in service to others and renders a caring heart that gives meaning to the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Last week Americans, once again, experienced a sense of empathy as we watched Hurricane Isaac bearing down on the citizens of New Orleans and the surrounding area, almost seven years to the day after Katrina. We shared prayers, hopes, and made preparations to help in any way possible. We also shared a sense of relief that this storm did not take the disastrous toll of life and property as did the previous one.

As I read about President Obama’s decision to visit the storm-ravaged area almost a full week after Isaac hit, I was forced to asked myself if we had elected an empathy-free president. This question comes to mind only because of a history of other empathy-free actions made throughout Obama’s political career.

Most Americans feel a deep sense of empathy for the thousands upon thousands of black urban children who, by no fault of their own, are trapped in deteriorating cities and failing school systems. Our heart aches reading about high school seniors graduating without the ability to read their own diplomas and thereby starting a life with a future of hopelessness.

It was this empathy that encouraged Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to come together and craft a voucher program in which over 2,000 black Washington, D.C., families could choose schools for their children outside of their depressed neighborhoods. The success of the program was an astonishing graduation rate of 94 percent, and 89 percent of those graduates enrolling in a two- or four-year college.

With the success of so many black children breaking the chains of illiteracy, why would our first black president, six weeks after his inauguration, eliminate the program, forcing hopeful children back to proven dangerous and failing schools? Is it that his dedication and loyalty to the education labor unions trump the welfare of these children, or is it simply that we’ve elected an empathy-free president?

Most Americans feel empathy for babies who are born alive, even if the intention of the mother was to abort them. It is this compassionate connection that allows Americans to feel that these living, breathing children deserve medical care and sustenance to continue their lives.

After listening to the testimony of a nurse who endured comforting a “throwaway baby” as he took his last breath, then-state Sen. Obama voted four times against the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which would have made illegal “death by neglect” of born but unwanted infants. Is it his unfettered dedication and loyalty to the abortion industry that discriminately places 70 percent of their centers in black communities, or is it simply that we’ve elected an empathy-free president?

Americans feel deep empathy for the over 23 million jobless or underemployed citizens who have had to endure the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression. We feel for the lifetime savings lost, retirements deferred or eliminated, dreams that have been shattered as homes were foreclosed on, the many once-sacred marriages that could not weather the pressure of bankruptcy, and the American people who, for its first time, doubt a brighter future for their children.

We would expect our new president to understand the despair of joblessness and spend every working hour getting all segments of the Americas, not just labor unions, working again. Instead, with full control of the Senate and House of Representatives, he spent his first 18 months focused on a health-care bill that was never designed for job growth.

Instead of job creation, is his first priority ensuring centralized government control of what used to be private and personal choices, or is it simply that we’ve elected an empathy-free president? Grove Parc Housing Complex, Cabrini-Green Housing Complex, New Evergreen/Sedgwick, Lawndale Restoration – these are low-income housing complexes whose residence were represented by then-state Sen. Obama.

Most Americans would have empathy for these thousands of poor black families living in deteriorating, rat-and-roach infested buildings, lacking sufficient insulation, compiling a list of code violations that included an old, rusty iron gate that eventually collapsed and killed a 3-year-old child. We would feel for the neighbors who watched as spreading blight destroyed their community and the residents who were eventually forced to move as these complexes were foreclosed and shut down.

On the other side of this equation were Obama’s wealthy friends who become wealthier due to federal subsidy payouts and tax credits. Slum-lord manager Valerie Jarrett, now a senior adviser to the president, slumlord developer Tony Rezko, now in prison for fraud and bribery, and a handful of other Chicago power brokers were granted “tens of millions” in federal funds under Obama’s watch.

Lawndale residents rallied against Obama, the protest organizer stating, “How didn’t he know? Of course, he knew. He just didn’t care.” As Obama claimed that he never knew about these conditions over his eight years as their representative, is it possible that because of his loyalty to his wealthy friends who would seed his political career that he took a “see no evil” approach in regard to the poorest in his district, or is it simply that we’ve elected an empathy-free president?

Burgess Owens Says ‘Black Americans are Waking up and are Leaving The Plantation’

Owens, who is also a Fox News contributor, appeared on The Ingraham Angle after his speech several weeks ago at the Republican National Convention. “What the Democratic Party’s doing basically is taking away everything that gives us hope, gives us excitement,” Owens said. “They are truly a dour, dark, depressed party, and on the other side of the coin, we’re optimistic, we’re light. We say let’s go out and make things happen. Let’s figure it out.”

He continued his onslaught of criticism toward the Democrats when he appeared on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. The retired NFL player explained why he is running for Utah’s 4th Congressional District. “The young people that I’ve been trying to fight for and give hope to do not have a chance in our country as long as the Democrats keep power.”

“Misery is a strategy and you look at every single blue city in our country, you see death, you see destruction, you see anger,” Owens said referring to the protests occurring in multiple cities across the country after the death of George Floyd, who was killed while in Minneapolis police custody. “If you want to see systemic racism look for Democratic cities and you see more Black people upset and hopeless than ever before so we have to understand that it is all about policies,” Owens said.

He added, “I don’t care whether you’re poor, middle class or very wealthy, if you care about our kids, if you care about our kids’ future, we need to make sure we take away control of their future from Democrats and from this party that uses misery as a political strategy.” Bartiromo asked Owens, “What is the feeling among the Black community in your view as it relates to President Trump and his policies?”

“What we have to understand about our country is that no matter what our color is, our background, our creed, our religion we all want the same thing; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the Black community has been dealing with a death of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for decades because we’ve trusted the Democratic Party,” Owens said.

Owens also stated that “we’re experiencing things that we have not experienced in decades and because of that Black Americans are waking up and are leaving the plantation.”
