You have a very poor view of Black people and that is sad. We are not all bad people. I have come across not so nice white people but I don't view the whole race that way. Sadly no matter what I say to you Willie, I believe the way you look down your nose at us will never change.
It hasn't in the time that I have been here and I don't think you are interested in trying to understand. The only kind thing that I have ever heard you say about a black person was the woman who cared for you as a child. Everyone else is envious of others and is on welfare in your eyes. If I have misjudged you than forgive me.
I do hope someone who is reading the few posts of mine in this thread will understand where I am coming from. Have great night Willie.

HoneyDew,
You said it is sad that I have a very poor view of Black people. And you are right... it is very sad. I didn't feel this way when I was younger. In fact, in h\High School my Step-Father taunted with accusations of being a "Black Person Lover" (of course he used a different term)
But, that began to change as I moved out into the world and saw what was happening. Especially when I was in the Military. Interestingly enough, NOT so much in combat situations as back here in the USA under "peaceful conditions." And I wondered why.
It has taken many years for me to understand the terrible injustice and destructive effect the Welfare State has had upon not only the Black Population, but lower income people in America, as a whole. Being in a supervisory position with a large company really showed me a lot of it, first hand.
I had a tiny handful of mostly older Blacks that I wouldn't have traded for a hundred younger White people. They were excellent! But, I also learned that that that same ratio was closer to 1,000 when it came to hiring young Black people. I freely hired some, and it soon became obvious that was one of the biggest mistakes of my career.
Affirmative Action and the job horrors (and loss of productivity) it cost the company I worked for was an almost unbelievable nightmare. And I was not allowed to let-go a single one of these useless drains upon Society. I quickly learned that I did not even consider a Black person for employment.
Yes, occasionally one would be forced upon me by management to comply with our required Socialistic hiring quotas. At first, I tried to give them decent work and responsibility. But, to a man, they proved me to be a compassionate fool for trusting that any of them truly wanted a real job. Before long, I will admit it, I just gave any Black person forced on me by upper management, a wheel barrow, and had them simply get out of my sight and spend their days doing the most menial tasks of trash collection and dirt raking.
Then I became involved wit law enforcement in a rather minor way. But, it was enough to soon see that the majority of arrests were of Black people.... AND that they were often the ones most resistant to any sort of rehabilitative measures..... even if the State mandated programs were exclusively run by Blacks.
So, am I prejudiced? Horribly so.! And that bias is fortified, sometimes against my will, by at least 70 to 80% of blacks I interact with. Is it going to change? I doubt it. Even the Blacks who call the police and complain about the conditions in their neighborhoods (some of you DO see it) staunchly refuse to do anything to help themselves. They will cry about drug dealers, but they will not even glance in the direction of the offenders. They, themselves tie the hands of the very police they call to come help them.
This seldom happens in White neighborhoods. For the most part, we will not stand for anyone dealing drugs if we know who they are. A far cry from actually "protecting" the criminal element right in your own back yard.
As I have said about Kap and crew... and as you saw in that video of Judge Jennine, things will not change until the good Blacks (and I know there are many) stand up and give some teeth to their lip-service of wanting better conditions in their neighborhoods.
I'm sorry if that hurts you, but it honestly is how most Whites (the ones who haven't surrendered to thinking it is our fault) see the plain facts right there in front of all of us. "Black Pride" is a phony excuse that has become a sickness that is killing you people. The very Black people who have cried to the government for help because of the deplorable conditions they live in, actually attacked PRESIDENT Trump when he said he wanted to change those conditions... claiming "insult" that he dared to say everything about their lives wasn't sweet and peachy.
How the Hell do you help when you are faced wit THAT?

being in the entertainment industry is not a constitutional right but of a privilege, (the people) (the fans) pay big money to be entertained, they don't pay so million dollar players can voice their views unless the platform is for that one reason to hear the entertainers opinion.
the football entertainment platform isn't to express politics, they are getting payed to entertain by playing football for the people who are interested in being entertained by football, once the player who is getting payed to entertain leaves a stadium they can voice all they want it's a free country. as a matter of fact they can quite their high paying entertainment gig and go and stand up for what they believe, yea that would not happened they love their big houses and fancy cars,
ALL entertainment is built upon the obsession and sometimes addictions of people that what to be entertained.
i think it's time to let these entertainers know who really is allowing them to make huge contracts and big money, it's the fans not a president or whatever but the fans without fans there would be no big pay days and huge contracts. And because our country is built upon freedom, that alone allows the entertainment industry to thrive on exploiting people that need to be entertain.
entertainment industries feeds off of people who are obsessed with it, A entertainment only thrives if people are willing to pay to see it or purchase its products.

First off protest what? The privilege of being born in the greatest country on earth, that the rest of the world is beating the doors to get in?
Secondly, sports have always been a respite from the garbage we have to hear about in the country and world every day. Keep your politics out of it.
Third, if you DO want to protest, do it on your OWN time NOT mine. You have a right to speak. You do NOT have a right to force me to hear you!
Fourth, the NFL has disallowed all sorts of speech DURING WORK TIME. Things like messages on headbands or various celebratory acts. MY employer would NEVER allow me or anybody else to express their POLITICAL views via protest, DURING WORK HOURS!
Now to the larger point. Are there still whites that are racists? You bet there are. But guess what,there are far greater percentage of blacks that are racists. That's not my opinion, that's what a poll conducted several years ago said. And guess who said it? Blacks!
More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics
Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of most Hispanic Americans. (To see survey question wording, click here.)Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country.
There is a huge ideological difference on this topic. Among conservative Americans, 49% consider most blacks racist, and only 12% see most whites that way. Among liberal voters, 27% see most white Americans as racist, and 21% say the same about black Americans!
From a partisan perspective, 49% of Republicans see most black Americans as racist, along with 36% of unaffiliated adults and 29% of Democrats.
Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way.
Among white adults, 10% think most white Americans are racist; 38% believe most blacks are racist, and 17% say most Hispanics are racist.
Overall, just 30% of all Americans now rate race relations in the United States as good or excellent. Fourteen percent (14%) describe them as poor. Twenty-nine percent (29%) think race relations are getting better, while 32% believe they are getting worse. Thirty-five percent (35%) feel they are staying about the same.
These figures reflect more pessimism than was found in April when 42% gave race relations positive marks and 39% said race relations were improving. However, the April number reflected all-time highs while the current numbers are more consistent with the general attitudes of recent years.

no, not at all
football is a game, not a political arena.
that is absolutely not true. are you aware that one football player (ask my husband, I don't know his name
) raised his fist recently in a black panther salute? they may be taking a knee or whatever, but sure are not all doing it for the same reasonof course the falling popularity of the 'sport' is no reflection on the people who have not paid to see a politcal protest that denigrates respect. maybe a few should trot off to join the ranks of those who fight for the freedoms they are supposedly profiting from
nah
all we have here are behind the scenes manipulators who saw the possibility for yet another reason to jump on the let's undermine the presidency program and if anyone thinks there is not a huge investment in behind the scenes puppeteering, then you do not understand what is actually going on and have become a common denominator in the world bank of collective thinking
cute pup in your avatar though

When the NFL takes a knee for battered women,then they'll have my support. When the NFL takes a knee against abortion {black women being the most likely to have an abortion} then they will have my support. When the NFL takes a knee against racist Planned Parenthood founder Margret Sanger,then they will have my support. When the NFL takes a knee against black on black crime {see Chicago news} then they will have my support. When the NFL takes a knee against BLM and Black Panthers,then they will have my support. When the NFL takes a knee against black fathers absent from the home leaving kids without a father,{stats are extremely high} then they will have my support. This is about "resisting" the President and playing the race card as liberals always do. If not they'd have been kneeling for the above reasons long before now. Like when there was a black liberal president in office for 8yrs that changed nothing for the black community. Sermon over,amen or ouch.
