This is all true but I think people feel betrayed because last year while he was just having fun, winning games and off to the superbowl, it was the people doing that battle for him, when the media and radio sport talk hosts were ripping him, it was the black fans that came to bat for him in comment sections and calling into talk radio. Now it came time to simply agree that the population that has always had his back is being mistreated, he failed to voice up like the people that did for him last year. It's only right people feel let down. I don't expect these people to protect him anymore, when old ladies write more letters about how their daughter is offended because he dabbed or talk radio hosts trash him for doing something 'too black', folks will just let them throw him in the dirt. Why speak up for someone who won't do the same for you? Sure he does things in the community but unless you are in THAT community you never see it, words mean a lot whether people want to admit it or not. A simple acknowledgment would have let his black fans know "I see you", but he chose to distance himself. That hurts, especially for the people that had his back, people that got into arguments in bars and at work, its a slap in the face, it's like he's siding with the very people you argued with for him, last year.
