Donovan Edwards elaborates on 2022 social media controversy: ‘I don’t have any type of hatred’
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — In October 2022, in the midst of the core of the timetable for Michigan football, as the Wolverines in the middle between burrow occurrences with Penn State and Michigan State, running back Donovan Edwards wound up in some major trouble.
Edwards retweeted what seemed, by all accounts, to be an enemy of Semitic tweet initially posted by rapper Kanye West which read: ‘Jewish individuals will in a real sense let you know that they believe that you should kill your own and embarrass your ladies just in light of the fact that they have kids to take care of.’
Not long after, a firestorm prepared, and keeping in mind that Edwards had apologized soon after, on Friday, he took it upon himself after his public interview to explain his situation.
“I got one thing another thing to specify, as well, about the tweet, too. I find that was something extraordinary for me since it is a learning and building experience for me,” Edwards said. “The manner in which I see that is I have no kind of disdain, I don’t shame anyone. I have love for everyone. All individuals. It doesn’t really matter to me what your identity is: Dark, white, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic. I couldn’t care less, in light of the fact that why? Everyone’s God’s youngsters according to God. There’s nothing in the Book of scriptures that says that only one explicit race can come to the paradise entryways. Everyone can. So what I’ll gain from that is I can’t permit individuals to — I can’t permit a subtitle to characterize who I’m.
“Since, in such a case that I can make sense of for myself that and that in that setting that we’re — I don’t I feel like no one like pay attention to what Kanye West said. Furthermore, what Kanye West said is that individuals who are the higher-ups, we as a whole know who higher-ups are. It resembles Mentor Harbaugh, he’s a higher-up. Also, what he says goes. Furthermore, that setting is that this, for my purposes, I’m a Dark male, and I take a gander at that explicitly. Furthermore, it’s like, Individuals of color are getting lessened as who — we’re taking a gander at big names and they’re letting us know various things. Also, we’re paying attention to these rap verses. So assuming like we’re denying ourselves, and we as a whole know this, assuming that Individuals of color are denying ourselves of race, calling young ladies out the names, looking at ransacking, taking, and killing, that is bad.
“So that is the reason I retweeted what I retweeted. There’s no need to focus on I disdain Jewish individuals, I don’t can’t stand Jewish individuals. Individuals of color are Jewish, as well. Very much like, there’s numerous different races that are different races. I don’t can’t stand Buddhist individuals. I don’t can’t stand Muslim individuals. I love all races since all religions are correct. All religions have exactly the same thing, and that is to cherish God and to appropriately treat your neighbor. Furthermore, to cherish each other the way that you love yourself. Thus, I’ve gleaned some significant experience from that, and that is the reason I would rather not deny myself of who I’m, since I know who I’m.
“In the event that you ask individuals here, who truly know me, they will say I’m an extraordinary individual. Also, I trust that myself to very much like, how Isaiah has his ‘Jesus is Best’ cap on — Yeshua is ruler to me. So I trust that with my entire heart. I am sorry to anyone who I might have harmed and figure out my activities and permit me to develop from it. It’s shown me a great deal. So grateful that that occurred also.”
Soon after the contention, it was declared that the group would be going on an outing to the nearby Holocaust exhibition hall to proceed with its schooling on what Jewish individuals have experienced in late history. That outing occurred before this offseason, alongside a discretionary visit to the Holocaust historical center in Washington D.C. during the group’s spring trip there.
Edwards examined what he gained from those visits, and demands that on the off chance that individuals comprehended his heart, they’d comprehend that he’d acquire somewhat more effortlessness.
“What I acquired from it, believe it or not is that I’ve harmed individuals, and I can live with that, since now I can develop individuals,” Edwards said. “I might have made individuals’ trust not show up for me, yet I couldn’t care less, in light of the fact that individuals don’t have the foggiest idea who I truly am. They don’t have a clue about the setting of what I saw and what I retweeted the genuine video, not the thing the individual said about it, get it going. Furthermore, I’m not going to mislead anybody, I was somewhat — I won’t express out loud whatever I got to say since it’s okay, yet I’ve gleaned some significant knowledge, to be completely forthright with you. What’s more, that’s what I know whether I keep on being who I’m, I could recover the adoration once more, that individuals’ trust back. I’m never going to change who I’m for anyone, truly. I want to continuously make individuals proud. I want to exceed everyone’s expectations for individuals and to take care of vagrants. One of my primary objectives in life is to get into land so I can assist all individuals who with having least salaries. I need to purchase like a condo, and like make the lease like $250 — a pleasant loft.”
