. THe media is not "white controlled"
Yes it is. And don't try to say Jews do... They don't...Anyway...Most American Jews are White.
Whites are not a unified force and you know that. There is no "they" on any issue.
Nor do I base my opinion on blacks on the media. Nor is my opinion or views on blacks relevant to this issue.
I'll break it to ya gently...this issue is way larger than you or your opinion. I added that comment in response to your tirade about
those angry black Americans who spoke their true feelings about our country instead of lying or being hypocritical. I wouldn't have done that but i do understand their pain.[/QUOTE]
SOrry thought you were talking to ME. I would check the post, but you cut it, so, whatever.
These "angry blacks" and the whites that have joined them and the owners and the league, have chosen as their method of speech, the active disrespect of the nation, during the national anthem.
So, they disrespect me, I disrespect them. **** them all.
..
. I don't care about the "eyes of the world". American blacks are American citizens with all the rights and
MLK used the eyes of the world as a key part of his Civil Rights STRATEGY.. Without that effective plan we might still be waiting for
desegregation to take place.[/QUOTE]
Seemed like you were arguing that my opinion was ill informed because of the media. I would check, but you cut that post, so,
MLK isn't here. These players are not him, the issues are not the same, the nation is not the same, the world is not the same.
. Any American disrespects the Flag or the Nation the way these fuckers did, and I have a problem with that.
But your feelings aren't backed by law. So until then good luck with "having a problem with it".
I'm sure people who feel that way can justify their behavior...I'm not about to try speaking for them.[/QUOTE]
I never claimed that my opinion on this was backed by the law.
My point stands. This is about their disrespect for the Flag, the Nation it stands for, and the American citizens they insulted.
All Americans should return the favor, and treat these kneelers with the same contempt they have showed for US.
4. Your attempt to make this about race is on you, not me.
Kaepernick made this about race and White folks like you have been trying to make it about patriotism instead. You seem oblivious to the reason Colin took a knee in the first place. Realizing you don't care about cops killing unarmed blacks so disproportionally, i can see why you would think the protests and some unpatriotic.statements are a bigger threat to YOU.[/QUOTE]
Kaepernick choose to make his statement by disrespecting the Flag, the Nation it stands for and his fellow American citizens.
He can do that, but if he expects to get a sympathetic ear from the nation he insulted, he is a fool.
YOU are currently trying to make my healthy response to his insults, to not be about his insults but about the insulters' skin color.
I take it you haven't noticed that I have been just as derogatory towards the white players in question, the owners, and the League, for joining in or supporting this series of anti-American insults.
