This Week: As is the case in many situations the NFL taking a knee is really only showing us the tip of the iceberg. Filled with a large population of black players who are being paid millions, we’re witnessing a culture and community that is blowing itself up. Ratings are drastically falling as Commissioner Goodell is attempting to walk a very thin line between players and fans who are angry over players disrespecting our flag. Over disrespecting our nation.
I Spy Radio is pleased to welcome back former NFL star and Super Bowl Champion, Burgess Owens. He is also the author of Liberalism: Or How to Turn Good Men into Whiners, Weenies, and Wimps.
Through Burgess’ understanding of who has hijacked the Black community many decades ago, this week on I Spy Radio we will look into the players and what they’ve been taught that is finally coming out in a very public way. But it doesn’t just stop at the players. We walk through a whole culture that has lost its way as those who want to destroy our beliefs and love of country make their move through these young players. And Colin Kaepernick, a troubled person, is the example that demonstrates how and why this is happening.

Addressing Achievement Gaps: Positioning Young Black Boys for Educational Success (ETS, Fall 2011)
“Average Black male achievement falls far below that of White and Asian boys. Only 12 percent of Black fourth-grade boys are proficient in reading, compared to 38 percent of White boys. Only 12 percent of Black eighth-grade boys are proficient in math, compared to 44 percent of White boys. By fourth grade, Black students may be three full years behind their peers.”
