Hard to believe, catholic countries in Central and South America are under siege in slavery by dictatorships, as the Pope remains silent?

El Salvador, Guatemala, Venezuela, Panama,to mention a few

This NBA audience beats it all

On the Monday Night Football Broadcast, NBC and it's Commentators did a Feature Story about how the NFL is combating racism and PROMOTING Inclusion. They did this by appointing six black Officials for the game. As I listened to them pat themselves on the back, I wondered................How is this INCLUSION if ALL of the Officials are black? Isn't that the exact picture of racism? Excluding ALL OTHER races from the ranks of the Officiating Crew?

Pro Sports should stay out of Politics and Social injustices. Given that far too many of the Teams in both Pro and College Teams fall FAR SHORT of a true reflection of the social/racial makeup of America.

Was it not the purpose of Affirmative Action? To properly reflect the racial makeup in all things?

Its sick to see what the Leftist commies are doing

Putting all black officials on the field is 100% racist

The average American in the majority opposes the Media and the Billionaire team owners

Ratings for sports has dropped in the US, I dont watch anymore, done with it

Believe me, the American Patriots in the US are many, is what we are witnessing is the (Minority), its liberal Leftist that control the Media, it's not a true picture being seen

The recent media polls on the election having Joe Biden in double digits leading? This is a prime example of (Fake News) in suppression, add to that twitter, facebook, censorship of conservatives, they are (Leftist) with big bank accounts, controlling all forms of Media

Currently alternate Media is on the upswing, (Parlor) is seeing many new faces in place of Facebook,Twitter

News Max, OAN News, is replacing Fox News that has sold out, Lachlan Murdock owner ofFoxdid a Big Left Turn?

I agree. Furthermore, "racism" means segregating between races in our actions while bringing attention to what is perceived as different races. So, the irony is that any mention of "racism" and action towards it is a form of "racism". The only way to truly combat racism is to abstain from mentioning it and even thinking about it. Talking about racism only breeds more racism, not less. We oughta think of all people as God's people, and if we feel we are excluded for a perceived "race" issue, the best thing to do is to tough it out and go elsewhere, not mention "racism". Mentioning "racism" makes things worse. It might score some fake victories for some people at the expense of other people, meaning paying evil with more evil, but no true solutions. Any organization that talks about "racism" is racist, and must be frowned upon and avoided if possible. True racism is the absence of any thoughts, words, or deeds regarding racism. It's a society filled with humility whereby if someone feels wronged, they simply talk about and address the wrongdoing directly, not whine about race as that is ironically racism itself, causing a self-perpetuating cycle. So, avoid any official mention of racism at all costs. Godspeed.

O.M.GOSH!
can Wisdom live where foolishness keeps house???
it sounds like a facelessness from within a house of
pagan fables meant to fool the captives in their
devilish folly -
there will be a very 'few' who will be able to flee
out of this 'mass'-trance'...

The "pope" visiting the NBA ? Must be for publicity for him.
I don't see any other benefit or purpose for the visit, even though it's social injustice.

It's not even NBA's responsibility or job to combat racism or else they'd be admitting that they're racists themselves to need to fix it, which they clearly aren't. None of this makes any sense. I just ignore it completely, and focus on 3-point shots and dunks, so it doesn't bother me. If anything, it provides entertainment and lots of laughter at the expense of atheists who think they are somehow holier than thou without following God. Godspeed.
