Are today's Black athletes - let's say the ones who now affirm that, "Damn STRAIGHT! They are going to take a knee during the National Anthem" - aware that virtually ALL of the money that finds its way into their bank accounts is paid by WHITE PEOPLE(!)?
Who is sitting in the stands during NFL games? Who is in the Gawd-awfully-expensive boxes? Who is buying the "licenses" that entitle them to the privilege of buying season tickets, including any and all playoff games? White people. Who is paying for those endorsement deals? White people. Who is paying to advertise on telecasts of NFL/NBA games? Corporations, the management of which is 95% white. Who are the team owners? White people.
And NONE of these WHITE PEOPLE or white-controlled entities withhold their money because most of the players are Black, or because some of the players are socially obnoxious, of because a lot of them couldn't string seven words together to form a coherent sentence if you offered to pay them for it.
If white racism is endemic, why are all these millions and millions of white sports fans cheering for those Black players game after game, year after year?
A couple years ago, a self-described "Black" player started a demonstration that disparaged the National [fucking] Anthem, conspicuously insulted the entire mainly-white history of the country...and not a single Black player lost a dime. No pay cuts. No player cuts. The money just kept flowing to the pampered Black athletes.
And now they say they are ALL going to "take a knee" to fight racism. The irony is simply incredible.
