Walker slams BLM and asks why NFL owners and players are supporting Marxists!
WESTLKAKE, Texas (PNN) - September 18, 2020 - Herschel Walker has slammed Black Lives Matter as “anti-government, anti-Amerikan, anti-Christian, anti-everything” and asked NFL owners and players, “is this who you are supporting?” after learning one of the movement’s founders once said she was a “trained Marxist”.
The ex-NFL star, who is a long time friend of President Donald Trump and spoke in support of him at the Republican National Convention last month, posted a video on Twitter calling on BLM to “tell the Amerikan people exactly what you stand for.”
The sports star has also alienated his fellow athletes after saying, “There shouldn’t be politics in sports,” and making several jibes at players kneeling during the national anthem in protest at the terrorist pig thug cop killings of black people across Amerika.
Walker took to social media Wednesday, writing that he has “finally WOKE UP” alongside a video of himself speaking to his followers.
“First I want to apologize to the Amerikan people because I was blind but now I can see. I was deaf but now I can hear,” said Walker.
The former football player challenged leaders of major league sports teams, churches, and in politics, to come forward and admit if they are supporting Marxist ideology in their support of BLM.
“I’m challenging every owner in the NFL, every owner of major league sports, and every owner of stadiums, every commissioner, every leader in Washington, every church,” said Walker. “I'm challenging every professional player: Is this who you are supporting? A trained Marxist tells you they are anti-government, they’re anti-Amerikan, they’re anti-Christian, they’re anti-everything.”
Walker continued, “As I see all these signs, I see all these logos, commercials. I see all this stuff and that’s okay because we’re in Amerika and you can support whomever you want and do what you want, but you need to know and the Amerikan people need to know when you talk about supporting Black Lives Matter… are you supporting the group that says they are trained Marxists, because they’re making a lot of money and I’d like to know?”
Walker’s rant appears to be referencing 2015 footage that surfaced in June of Patrisse Cullors.
“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to her co-founder Alicia Garza. “We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories.”
The Black Lives Matter movement started with the use of the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of black teen Trayvon Martin in February 2012.
It grew following a Facebook post by Garza called, A Love Letter to Black People, published shortly afterward.
It regained traction this year following the brutal terrorist pig thug cop killing of black man George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25, which sparked protests across Amerika.
Walker has hit out at support for the movement before and disregarded the symbol of protest made by many sports stars on the field.
National sports stars have taken a knee at games as a symbol of protest against systemic racism following a string of recent murders of black men and women by thug cops across Amerika.
Trump has raged that kneeling during the anthem is a sign of great disrespect and blasted that the game is over for him when players do it.
Trump supporter Walker has sided with Trump on the debate, saying there shouldn't be politics in sports.
The former NFL running back for the Dallas Cowboys also defended Trump in his RNC speech, saying that respecting the national anthem doesn't mean he doesn't care about social justice.
“I've seen racism up close. I know what it is; and it isn't Donald Trump,” Walker said at the RNC.
Walker started out his pro career in the New Jersey Generals, a USFL team Trump owned.
“I take it as a personal insult that people would think I've had a 37-year friendship with a racist. People who think that don't know what they're talking about,” said Walker.
He added, “Just because someone loves and respects the flag, our national anthem, and our country doesn't mean they don’t care about social justice. I care about all of those things, and so does Donald Trump. He shows how much he cares about social justice and the black community through his actions; and his actions speak louder than any stickers or slogans on a jersey.”
