Brace yourselves for a tweetenstorm by the tweenfuhrer



Several NFL players raised their fists or took a knee during the national anthem at preseason games on Thursday night, reigniting the social justice protests that provoked the wrath of President Trump last season. Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, who had promised earlier this week that players would soon let their stance be known on a new anthem policy, raised his fist, along with cornerback De'Vante Bausby. Jenkins and other Eagles players wore a T-shirt during pregame warm-ups that read, “More than 60 percent of prison populations are people of color” and “Nearly 5,000 kids are in adult prisons and jails.” Several Miami Dolphins players also joined in the protest, with defensive end Robert Quinn reportedly raising a fist as wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson took a knee.

“More than 60 percent of prison populations are people of color”

Stop committing crimes at such a disproportional rate and it will stop being that way.


“Nearly 5,000 kids are in adult prisons and jails.”

If a kid commits an "adult" crime, why shouldn't they be in jail with the adults?

OK. You have the country's attention. How about starting a massive 'get out the vote' campaign? The timing is perfect, just as it was when Kap. failed miserably in his ploy. Idiot didn't even vote.

There are ways to exact change, if that's what the players actually want.

You realize of course that the elevated incarceration rate has its roots in aggressive sentencing and policing...right? People of color are pulled over and "policed" at far higher rates than others...and when sentenced receive far harsher sentences.

Oh you don't care?

You do realize that people committing harsher crimes get harsher sentence.

I see you are yet another one whose first, last, and only thought is that everything revolves around race and you can't bring yourself to admit that people of color are far more prone to commit crimes based on many factors.

I don't care that those committing crimes at a higher level are incarcerated at an equivalent level.

You do realize that blacks commit over 50 %of all murders and most of the crime based on population %...

4 or 5 blacks riding around Chicago need to be pulled over based on the number of shootings blacks commit in the city...blacks commit over 90% of the murders in Chicago

I’ll bet you anything 60% of them aren’t Peds. But we know who are.

As is common with posts like these, I need to add the disclaimer "blacks are inferior" -- it usually make white supremacists moist when you say it

That’s what I’ve never understood about the kneelers.

I assume they all have Twitter accounts with followers in the tens of thousands, at minimum. Use it. Get on it and type to your hearts content about social injustice. Why do something that so many people regard as inflammatory?

Also, the raised-fist has a history—represents Black Power. Enough of the racial supremacy crap. Blacks who advocate race based supremacy are no better than whites who do it.

Ironically, they couldn’t enjoy more equality.

At least you admit people of color committing crimes at such a high rate is due to being genetically predisposed to it.

That's called you being honest.

Ummm...you act as if no one has read your incessant racists posts.

The fact is that people of color are charged in cases where others are not and that when charged, receive harsher sentences FOR THE SAME OFFENSES

Economics and not race have always been the determining factor in criminal behavior.

Those lowest on the economic ladder have always contributed to the largest prison population.

Oh and crime is almost entirely WITHIN race. White on white and black on black

These are facts which racists can't deal with

I would love to see that.
