Colin Kaepernick 49er QB refuses to stand for the National Anthem

Here's an idea! If all the other countries want equal footing with the USA then pay as much as we do to support the UN. They don't want us to brag but they never turn down our money or generosity. When we have disasters such as Louisiana we don't see much help either, but when disasters occur worldwide good old Anerica is right there helping out.

Perhaps because Louisiana doesn't cause a problem too big for the US to deal with. Whereas other countries have problems that are much worse.

What an ass!

He can't help it. He's British.

Yes. This happens just as often in Scandinavian countries without a 13% black population.

No, no it doesn't.

Yes it does. You think Scandinavia is just a happy clappy place?

However the difference between Scandinavia and other European countries is that the people vote in politicians to work for the people, and the politicians work for the people.

Yes, they have a purer version of democracy.

And fewer black people.

And so you decide that it's the black people that causes all the problems, and not the political thinking. Why is that?

The superiority of white culture is made evident by the high success of countries where they are most concentrated. Everything you admire about Scandinavia is because of their ethnic constitution, including their novel ideas of government.

Go to African nation's populated by black people, you get poverty, shanty towns, starvation, rogue militias, anarchy, massacres, and hopelessness.

The contrast couldn't be any clearer.

Or, perhaps this is because of WHERE they live.

If you look at all the big empires we've known, many of them became successful because of the situation they found around them. The Egyptians for example. Why was Egypt very successful thousands of years ago, but now an absolute mess?

Could it be that the Nile was more fertile? Could it be that you needed less of a population to succeed and the Nile could cope with a certain amount of people, but in more modern times it can't cope well?

The Romans. I mean the Italians haven't been known as great warriors for a long time now. Why was Rome so successful 2000 years ago and not now?

Through time the latitude of successful empires has risen from Egypt, to Greece and Rome, the Spanish and Portuguese to then be Germany, England, France, Russia, the USA.

Or maybe as we've developed technology, the colder climates are more successful.

1/7th of the US population lives between DC and Boston. The area is far more successful than the Deep South. Why is that?

Could be all about resources. Coal become a product for industrialization. Who had coal?

Success based on coal? Seems northern Europe has a lot more. Then again Sweden and others don't have much but were successful. So it's not just coal, but coal played an important part.

Basically this topic is extremely complex. Your idea is to make it simple and blame someone else so you don't need to think. You're basically going to be wrong if you do that.

Why is that? Silly! Because DC gets rich off our tax dollars. Everyone in DC works for the government.

Well perhaps we should let them care for themselves without arrogant American assistance.

Interesting that he doesn't want to show pride in a flag or country that oppresses black people or people of color but getting paid millions and millions dollars to play a kids game has no impact on his pride.

Yeah, he's so oppressed by his loving, white Blindside parents.

that's michael oher, you bigoted, brain dead twit.

Oh! That explains the butt hurt.

So, black people have been given a raw deal, and they're often in poverty (25% compared to 7% for white people) and then you take this as a sign that they're the problem, rather than they've been struggling against white dominance for 300 and more years?

They leave themselves in poverty. They valiantly ignore the things that would get them out of poverty. We literally had one person call and tell us they couldn't pay because they had a heroine shipment coming in they had to pay for. Then his girl calls back 2 hours later to complain that we called the Boston PD on him.

Yeah, and?

Again, you're equating SOME BLACK PEOPLE being idiots to all black people being idiots. You're equating some black people being idiots to no white people being idiots.

There are more white people in poverty than black people, you know.
It's just there are a higher percentage of black people in poverty than white people.

However you're ignoring completely and totally that maybe these people are in the situation they're in because the governments have created the environment for this.

 

[frigidweirdo]

There are people like that. There are people not like that. There are white people, Hispanic people, black people, males, females, old, young who are like that, and also not like that.

We get to see the location (town) and customer first names on these calls. They're almost always from highly minority communities, with names like Dequan, Shanequa, and DeAndre. Very few John Smiths from suburban or rural areas.

How the hell do you rack up $7-12,000 in a gas or electric bill? That's not a 2 month issue.

That's the first mistake, living three hundred years ago. How do you think people like Ben Carson managed? Not by living three hundred years ago. No one in America today ever owned a slave and no one living today was a slave. Blacks living in poverty is not the fault of the whites. Being a single mom of several illegitimate children will do it though. Make smarter choices!

And how do you make smart choices?

Good education helps a lot. Who's not getting good education?

I'm not blaming anyone, just laying out the facts. The reason the world was brought to modernity by Western civilization is because it's superior. I'm part of a race less advanced than even the Ancient Egyptians. We fought pointless wars over the same territory for thousands of years and would have remained just as primitive without intervention by Europeans for thousands of years more.

While you perpetuate black inferiority with lame excuses, individual blacks are finding rapid upward mobility by rejecting the Democrat politics of victimhood and embracing white culture as I have. The more blacks and NA's act like white people, the more successful and prosperous we become.

 

[Dr Grump]

So is America.

Yee Haw!! Beat that chest...

It's just appropriate pride, not inflated pride. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Yet you feel a need to mention it. From down here it's inflated. You've burst nothing.

 

[Weatherman2020]

It's been fun keeping you free.

From what?

Under paid, under sexed, under Ike!

You stupid asswipe, Kaepernick has white parents too.

Now go in the corner and feel stupid, dumbass!

 

[Anathema]

I don't let the Government be in charge of my life. Anyone who does, deserves poverty, sickness, and despair.

It only appears inflated to people who feel deflated.

No, it appears inflated because you have a need to say it. If it wasn't inflated you would not have to say anything. Yet you did.

Yeah. That helped.

You're not helping them with lame excuses. The Irish got a raw deal too and they managed to pull out of it just fine. By enabling them with these excuses, you are telling them they are incapable of making responsible decisions and taking command of their destiny. That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans and quite frankly, blacks would be served best by no longer listening to Democrats.

The Irish got a raw deal, and the Irish were white. The Irish didn't suffer slavery and segregation. The Irish didn't have people not selling them houses because of the color of their skin. Yes, they got a raw deal, but nowhere near as raw a deal as black people.

You think these are lame excuses? You think just pointing and giving simple answers for complex problems isn't lame?

You're talking about lame excuses. I'd say the lame excuse is from those who say "oh, we can't do anything to help them, we should just keep on going as we've been going even though it doesn't actually work".

Let's try this. Let's get right away from race and get into the American "can't do" psyche.

I'm going to show you Jamie Oliver. You might have seen his TV program. He's a good guy, thinks he can save the world. In the UK (where he's from) he has set up programs, the government gets behind him and tries to make a difference. He went to the US and thought he could do the same thing.



This is an overview of the program.

However it turned out to be like this. The schools said they wouldn't take on his healthy food program until he could prove that it was workable. He couldn't prove it was workable because they wouldn't take on his healthy food program. A nice Catch-22 situation for them to simply do nothing.

There was a threat on here about Michelle Obama want kids to only have one ketchup sachet per school meal. The right wing went MENTAL. Absolutely crazy over this. Some said schools shouldn't provide food. Some said schools shouldn't tell kids how to eat.

Learning about healthy food is ESSENTIAL in a country like the US where obesity is a massive problem. But all people care about is making sure NOTHING WORKS.

This is the US mentality. And this mentality exists within the issue of food, education, and even with race. You can see people like you giving the same logic as Jamie Oliver encountered.

America has an attitude problem and it's killing the US.

was The Blindside made about him, you pretend christian bigoted lowlife?

Just setting you right.
