Overall I have a lot of respect for Malcolm Jenkins, but this comes off as hypocritical. He ripped Drew Brees for being out of touch and ignorant after his comments about the anthem, then he posts some shit like this. News flash Malcolm, the problems of the Black community are all of societies problems, just like the problems of the Jewish community are all of societies problems.
Things get better when, and only when we ALL work together as a community to address injustice and equality. These issues can't be resolved as individuals or segregated groups and he, as much as anybody should know that. He is entitled to his thoughts, just as Brees is, but this is really promoting a double standard. You can stay focused and still acknowledge others and show compassion without being so dismissive.

We can honor the Jewish heritage and trauma while staying focused on what matters. Jewish people aren’t our problem, and we aren’t their problem. Let’s not lose focus on what the problem truly is, and that’s that black lives still don’t matter in this country.
Push this energy toward arresting and convicting the killers of Breonna Taylor and burning systemic racism to the ground. ✊🏿
