Essentially what Jake Fromm is saying here is that he had a lot of white privilege and didn’t really care about what was going on in the world around.
After his Elite White controversy, he understands why you can’t say things like that especially if you are going to have a good relationship with your black teammates.
Here are his quotes.
“That’s not where my heart is,” Fromm said Friday, speaking to local media for the first time since screenshots of the conversation emerged in June. “The one thing that I want to do here on this earth is love God and love people, and I fell short of that. I want to make amends and really be better from here on out so that I can earn their trust and really bring something to this football team.”
“I made a mistake and I’m going to own up to it, but that’s not indicative of who I am,” Fromm said, “and I promise you that is not where my heart is at.”
“I think the biggest thing is just seeing the world through a different lens,” Fromm said. “I grew up kind of seeing it just one way, and seeing the world from a slightly different way has helped me kind of see the background of what’s troubling people. I can say that I’m starting to see it, I’m learning, and I’m getting better, and I’m willing to help and be there for whatever situation is needed.
