    The right wingers would have had

    Trump did all he could to censor those who took a knee. Now he wants to shut Twitter down for pointing out that his posts are untrue.

    I don't understand why people always try to find "comparable" black crimes. When have black people ever evaded justice? The black community has been on the wrong side of the justice system for my entire life. I doubt anyone like me (white) can imagine what that is like - to always be pulled over more, treated with more suspicion, assumed to be guilty.

    Give me a friggin' break w/ the "where is the outrage on this individual crime" stuff.

    On the TV show America's got talent last night a Black man served 37 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

    DNA exonorated him.

    He watched america's got talent TV in prison and always wanted to be on the show.

    It was a moving performance. Not a dry eye in the audience.

    A stupid, lazy, MF like sailor and nomad would have unsuccessfully tried to kill themselves in prison because they are weak......

    They are cowards who use the kops to fight their battles. I bet a dollar to a donut they wouldn't confront a Black man to his face without a gun or a kop.

    They would have been prison bitches jacking off with their own little dicks.......

    They envy Black men because they can't hold a candle to them.

    And given how the right protests about wearing a mask, it's easy to imagine the outcry once a few get pulled over for no reason.
    They will handed a mask if pulled over.

    As a liberal I've probably been more criticized as unpatriotic than you are as a conservative. Not just for issues like the flag salute or the anthem, but for bigger things like not supporting the Iraq war.

    Yea. It started when Bush was banging the drums of war, and fabricating intel in order to invade Iraq. Anyone who told the truth about WMD, or dared to suggest that the invasion was wrong, was deemed 'unpatriotic'.

    If you weren't driving around with a (Chinese made) American flag clipped to your car window, you weren't patriotic.

    The 'I fought for your freedoms, and I'm insulted that you kneel during the anthem' idiots never like to hear about those who fought, but were denied basic human rights when they got home. You know...the same people who are being murdered in the streets.

    You do realize the kneeling is about those whose freedoms are being abused?


    Or do you think that's fake news?
