Jim Brown with Anderson Cooper
quote:
COOPER: I'm wondering if -- was that, you know, there were a lot of Clinton supporters who are upset obviously about the result of the election or depressed about it. You are willing to give him a chance.

J. BROWN: Well in my opinion, people that go against the election are going against America. We have free elections. Everybody can vote, we fought for that, we brag about that and we know we're going to have a winner and we're going to have a loser.

And I could have sat back and said well Hillary didn't win, I'm just going to sit on my butt and complain. But see the one thing about this country, if you get off your butt and you apply yourself, you can be successful. But if you want to be delivered? You're talk about the wrong country.

COOPER: In terms of the people that President Trump is going to have around him, the cabinet. Predominantly white, predominantly male. Is that a concern to you at all?

J. BROWN: You know, that's a tremendous question, you know, and I give an answer and a lot of the people black people in my community might think I'm a sell out by saying this. The three greatest people in my life as a young person were white, my high school superintendent, my high school coach and a -- I graduate in Manhasset High, Kenneth Molloy who's a mentor to yours truly.

And so I'm not a person that really deal in color. I recognize the inequities that certain cultures have to go through. I understand the history of slavery and all those things. But I'm not a victim. I can vote, I can participant. I can invest my money. I can invest my time. And that's what I'm doing."

I saw the interview last night on CNN. I knew Jim Brown gave his all on the football field I was even more impressed by his guts and intelligence when facing a liberal CNN reporter.

I guess Obama will be forced to change Jim's name to "Uncle Tom".
