Eagles’ safety Malcolm Jenkins had a message to deliver Wednesday after President Trump abruptly canceled the Super Bowl champions’ visit to the White House on Tuesday. But instead of reading a statement or taking reporters’ questions after practice, Jenkins, an outspoken civil right activist and member of the Players Coalition, held up a series of signs and shook his head in silence.
Reporters kept volleying questions at him anyway. Jenkins kept reaching for the next cue card.
He held up one sign that read, “YOU AREN’T LISTENING” twice during the two-minute encounter.
Sheil Kapadia ✔ @SheilKapadia Instead of speaking, Malcolm Jenkins holds up signs at his locker to get his message across.
“In 2018, 439 people shot and killed by police (thus far). In U.S. [population] 8% = African-American males. Shot by police 25% = African-American males,” read one card.
“ANY GIVEN NIGHT 500,000 SIT IN JAIL. CONVICTED? NO. TOO POOR? YES. #ENDCASHBAIL,” read the next.
Malcolm Jenkins ✔ @MalcolmJenkins You Aren’t Listening!

As Richard Pryor said, “Thank God We Got Penitentiaries!”
In Chicago the number of blacks killing blacks every weekend is much higher than 25%. In fact from weekend to week end it is often over 80% of murders where the victim is black and the suspect is black.
What does disrespecting the flag have to do with Obama’s ‘War on Cops’?
I just don’t understand the NFL anymore.
This will be my second year boycotting the morons.

When these NFL miscreants are out of a high paying NFL gig and turn to crime, we will need more.
The only one who wanted to show up was Super Bowl MVP, Christian and all around great guy Nick Foles. The rest of them are cowards and misinformed assholic morons. The Eagles are my team and I am ashamed of them. The Super Bowl means much less to me now. The NFL can go die.
Do you suppose any of his “facts” are even accurate? 439 shot and killed by police officers in 2018? Seems very high to me, being only early June.
Do you suppose any of the MSM will bother to check or dispute his “facts”?
Sleeping under your LAV in Iraq hoping the Marine on watch for the next 2 hours stays awake?
You aint listening. Not God Bless America. G.D. America!
Notice how black racists are always portrayed as
“Civil ‘rights’’activists’”?
Million dollar snowflake Malcolm Jenkins is patriotic only to himself. Come on man, you are so disrespectful.
Eagles owner Lurie and his team thought it was a fab idea to stiff it’s fans and send 1 or 2 players, the team mascot and Lurie to the White House to honor its team. Cute! We know our President will not be played.
In 2018, 439 people shot and killed by police (thus far). In U.S. [population] 8% = African-American males. Shot by police 25% = African-American males,” read one card
Just curious, what’s the crime, violent crime, rape and murder percentages for those “8%”?

Philadelphia fans would boo funerals, an Easter egg hunt, a parade of armless war vets and the Liberty Bell.

Okay. Maybe Mr Jenkins should try and find someway to keep more black males from committing crimes that get them shot. That might be a good place to start!

No Mr Jenkins YOU are not listening. We pay for you to play a game not to jam to jam your politics down our throats. So now not as many of us are paying and more and more are not going to be paying and soon your paycheck will reflect that. Enjoy the good ride while you can!
These facts haven’t stopped NBC radio news, and probably lots of other media, from reporting that President Trump cancelled the invitation to the Super Bowl winning Eagles, without any context at all. I despise the propaganda media.
What a child this man who purports to be an adult actually is.
