Why They Take a Knee

You asked Phan the other day why she believes that you are racist. This right here is a good example.

Kaep has no more to do with racism and division in this country than Santa Claus does. He is merely the face of one aspect of the multi-layered protests against institutional racism, police brutality against people of color, and an uneven criminal justice system that metes harder punishments on POC than it does on whites, particularly those with money.

Oh, he's responsible. He's blamed the country. read his quote.

She's such a tireless defender against racism that she lives in the whitest part of the US, I doubt that there are more than a dozen blacks in a 100 km radius from her log cabin on Lake Inferior.

What's stopping me? Practicality and experience, that's what. The nearest riots to me were about a thousand miles away. Only a psychotic would drive a thousand miles to hit violent idiots with a car. And have you ever been in a riot? I have, it ain't fun. Were any of those riots near you? Did you do ANYTHING to stop them besides vote for biden?

He's way too fat to run anywhere, he's strictly an armchair protestor.

Just because players take a knee during the anthem doesn't mean they don't respect the flag and/or the anthem.

Many of us believe it is a display of disrespect if they do....perhaps no disrespect is meant....if so, find another way to "protest"....
Many teams have patches on uniforms or labels on helmets to express their support for specific causes, but even that is fading....much more respectful, however...
 
Yeah, he's "oppressed," all right

My experience tells me these African immigrants from Africa don't like African Americans, and vice versa.

We have a Nigerian dude here in Pawling, NY.

My father & myself spent 2 hours talking to him.

Most of the gist was that African Americans are lazy due to welfare.

He's a landlord & said Black women in the USA just sit around pop out babies & get benefits.

On the other hand a Ghana immigrant girl I went to college with spent like 95% of her time with me & 0% of her time with other Black Americans who dominated the college wiggling their butts blasting Gangster Rap music in the cafeteria skipping class.

Now, the vice versa.
In that very college a Black American called people in Africa as inbred savages.

total bullshit right wing lies about how welfare works. why would you think an african immigrant would have a clue how welfare works for native americans? now if i was a racist, or a bigot, i would believe you fall for such bullshit because you are a typical dumbass pollock with no neck. but since i am not, i believe it is because you personally are a dumbass clown.

As I said earlier, you racists want all protests to be done in the basement where you can't see, hear, or know about them. Lucky for you, kumtwat, that other women didn't feel that way back in the early part of the 20th century. Or you wouldn't be here now, snidely lecturing about how other people should choose to challenge the status quo.

It’s not att all about making anyone comfortable in their confusion. It’s about standing against police violence in the most obvious way. From my perspective, if anyone sees it as disrespect, I have no issue with who,ever wants to see it as disrespect to a nation that has allowed this murder and abuse of nonwhite Americans for 400 years.

The good news is this issue is now more further advanced toward a sane resolution then it has ever been.

And all because some people chose to stand up against it in a very public way. Some, like Kaep, lost their careers. Others lost their lives.

TANF has been reduced significantly since Clinton's welfare reform.

It still exists, though.

Besides. there might be some logic to Welfare making Blacks worse.

For example murder rates climbed with Welfare income & decreased with Clinton's welfare reform.

Is that a coincidence?
 
The kneeling is pretty much over....Someone lost their job.... hearts and minds weren't ultimately changed...no winner, no newly found unity... Now "Equality"on the back of helmets? Everyone believes in that.....;)

Body cam catches Boston cop bragging about running over Black Lives Matter protestors


In a video that is quickly going viral, a sergeant with the Boston Police Department bragged to a fellow officer on body camera about "fucking hitting" Black Lives Matter protestors

with his car. “Dude, dude, dude, I fucking, I drove down Tremont. There was an unmarked state police cruiser they were all fucking gathered around,” the sergeant begins. “So then

I had a fucker keep coming, fucking running. I’m fucking hitting people with the car. Did you hear me? I was like, 'Get the fuck—'” At this point in the video, his recording officer

briefly taps the sergeant on the head, turn his body camera away and then informs the sergeant that the camera is on. Though the sergeant quickly replies, "I know," he begin

stammering as he tries to say that he did not in fact hit protestors with his car like he just said. "What I’m saying is, though, ... I didn’t hit anybody, like, just driving.... My windows

were closed, the shit was coming in," the sergeant says before quickly falling silent and shaking his head. The recording officer then says, as if in apologetic explanation, "This

thing just fucking went on automatically," referring to the body cam.

In the 50 or so years that social welfare to the degree it exists has been in place, the bastard birth rate among blacks has damn near tripled. When the government becomes the father and the typical black male is nothing more than the runaway sperm donor, that isn't a positive thing that should be used to promote social welfare.

Bill Clinton didn't do welfare reform. The Republicans in Congress did. All Clinton did was sign it.
