"Color is an identifier to some -- most people in America.

One of the more outspoken critics of the protests is the president himself. At a rally in 2017, he urged NFL owners to fire any player who protested, calling them “son of a b----.” “I think every Caucasian person in America has to do their due diligence on why African-Americans and why people of color are fighting for a chance for their kids to have a fair life,” Bennett said. “I think it’s on Drew Brees to do his homework and really connect to why people are having their story.”
