Who gives a 💩 4-5 decades ago. 🤦🏽‍♂️

So, he said he went thru rehab?!

It's the Republican donor base right now. We know these people grew up, got old, has kids and passed on their racism. This is the American way.

I don’t like JJ but who gives a flying Fk

This also would surprise no one ..

Jerry Jones was alive AND went to school in the 60's!!! Racist!!!

Was he working with Joe Biden on this?

Of course he did. That's why republicans don't want the real history of America to be taught in schools.

maybe he was trying to set up a 'safe place' for blacks

And this is news? No wonder this country is in the shape it is, irresponsible and irrelevant crap like this on Thanksgiving day is your headline.

Thats it call in the National guard put him in the DC jail with the Jan 6 rioters the world will never be the same again geezzzz give us a break How about how many people killed in Chicago last night?

He was 14. Please. Today he runs a company that pays his black employees far more than his white employees, his defacto GM is also black (Will McClay) he is one of the most pro-player owners in the game…even after their careers are over.

Who cares. That was the culture 65 yrs ago. That is not who he is. He has proven that and I'm NOT a Cowboys fan.
