A member of the 1980-1981 Oakland Raiders Super Bowl winning team told Breitbart News at the Conservative Political Action Conference that it is time for African-Americans to reclaim their traditional conservatism.
“Today’s generation has been trained to think differently from my generation. We would stand for the flag in a heartbeat—because we realized the opportunities we had,” said Burgess Owens on Thursday.
Owens was an All-American safety at the University of Miami, who was drafted by the New York Jets in 1973 and played for the Jets until joining the Raiders for their run at Super Bowl XV.
Owens was at CPAC to discuss with people his new book “Liberalism or How to Turn Good Men into Whiners, Weenies and Wimps” and attend a book signing.
“Today’s generation came from BET group—the BET has been talking down our country for the longest time.” Black Entertainment Television is the top cable channel focused on the African-American community.

I agree wholeheartedly. Desegregation was the worst thing to happen for black communities because it broke up the cohesiveness of the families in those communities. The black family unit was, at one time, something to be admired. They were God fearing, respectful to each other and to strangers and their church was the cornerstone of those communities. Somewhere along the road, like around the advent of welfare, the family unit started to fall apart. Now, many black families are single parent, often having kids raised by grandparents.
The welfare system has encouraged them to be that way. Very unfortunate.
