Bills WR Cole Beasley admits failings on racial injustice, says he’s ’embarrassed’

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley issued an emotionally charged statement on racial injustice in America on Wednesday.

Cole Beasley ’embarrassed’ he ‘failed black people’

Beasley shared a passionate statement on his Twitter account Wednesday while announcing a new rap album.

“Too long…For far too long in my life I have looked the other way,” Beasley wrote. “As a father of three biracial kids and someone who loves to rap I’m embarrassed really. Growing up as a white kid, I never had to go through the hardships that black people endure every day in this country.”

The 31-year-old also wrote, “I have been wrong for a long time. I have remained ignorant as much as it kills me to say. Not only have I failed black people but I have failed my sons and daughter up to this point, by turning the other way.”

Here’s the entire statement from Beasley, in full:

Beasley signed with the Buffalo Bills in free agency last season and had one of his best seasons as a pro. Putting up consistent stats, he caught 67 passes for 778 yards and a career-high six touchdown passes.
