Cite one law that support your claim of institutional racism. It's not their kneeling that bothers me, it's the false premise for kneeling that does.
It's not necessarily the law (though Rockefeller Drug laws and higher penalties for crack-cocaine vs. powder are pretty clear examples) it's the
enforcement of the law that is racist and what they're protesting. The fact that blacks and whites use marijuana at the same rates, yet black people are six times more likely to be arrested and imprisoned for it then white people is undeniable. The fact that this has to be explained to you
just now proves you don't really get it, and never did. That's not entirely your fault; a lot of it lies with your parents who did such a shit job raising you, but also because of your privilege. Assuming, of course, that you're not just some Russian propagandist and actually believe the shit you're posting...
That platform is not their platform.
Who are you to say it isn't? The internet isn't
your platform to spread white racial resentment either. So shut up and stop posting.
That Google employee that was fired for writing a memo, also had a platform to reach millions, did you defend him?
That Google employee wasn't protesting anything. He was just spouting resentment and garbage. But I see that you are trying to draw some kind of equivalence. That's because you recognize the hideousness of your own position, so you are seeking to drag everything else down into the shit with you. It's not gonna work. You're wasting your time.
Tell that to Hillary and her supporters.
Nah, I'll say it to the angry white people who hate the fact that black athletes have a more powerful platform from which they can spread their message than you do in denying it. That much is evident from the shit you post. I think you resent the fact that these black guys are using their position and platform to express their grievances and you think you're entitled to the same platform and power. You're not. You're not remarkable. You're not special. You're not good. You're not a success. Those guys are successes, you aren't. But because you're a racist, you think that any black man who is successful owes it to you and your white social resentment. Let me clear something up for you right now;
NO ONE OWES YOU SHIT. You've accomplished nothing to achieve that level of power, and you never will. So get the **** over yourself.
Taking a knee isn't civil but screaming "Jews will not replace us" is? Well, we already know you're a racist nobody, want to throw "fascist" on top of that? These guys are doing
literally nothing and look how much they've upset your delicate, fragile, frilly little sensitivities. Such a snowflake!
They don't work for you neither, and nobody cares what you think is appropriate.
Right. So here we are, two guys on the internet who differ on your view that there is an "appropriate" way to protest.
You don't want these guys to use their platform because it reminds you that you don't have that platform yourself, and because they're black, you think they owe their success to you. They don't. No one owes you anything. In fact, you owe us civility and honesty. So when are you paying that bill? Never, because Conservatives don't pay bills. They're deadbeats.
The kneelers are destroying their employers and their own jobs and are too stupid to recognize it. The team owners are so intimidated by their own employees that they don’t have the balls to deny them the NFL owned stage. They really deserve each other.
Wait, how are they "destroying the owners"? What does that mean? The only thing these guys are destroying is the unearned entitlement you have when it comes to being discomforted on TV. For you, it boggles the mind that a black man would not only be successful, but then use that success to push for social change. Because in your mind, they owe you everything. Even though you don't sign their paychecks, you don't watch their games, and you have not achieved the same level of success. Your resentment is more a reflection on your personal failures in life than it is about "appropriate". These black guys using that platform to express their grievances upsets you because you will never have the same platform, even though you think you're entitled to it. You're not. You're not entitled to shit. Not even your opinion.
As I said, it's not their platform to begin with. The fact is that they're rejecting every conversation.
You're denying institutional racism even exists, so you're the one who is rejecting the conversation. Like, you had to go so far as to ask for a law that is racist (of which, there are many including most of our Drug Laws), either because you didn't know or didn't want to know. We can't have a conversation about this because you all still think you're entitled to the same platform and grievances as black players. You're not. Get over yourself. Stop doing so much talking and telling, and do some listening.
They show finger to all NFL supporters, and now when they're getting millions of fingers in return, they don't like it.
LOL! You all vastly underestimate your impact on the players. In fact, since these things have started
more players have knealt. So your actions are having the opposite effect of what you intended. By telling black players to pipe down, all you're doing is showing everyone that you've got unearned entitlement issues and cannot handle a black man with the power to use a platform to convey a message.
At the end, they will stand. It's going to be too little too late.
Conservatives aren't going to stop people from watching the NFL. In the end, what's going to happen is players will continue to kneel, and you'll continue to pretend you're not watching the NFL.
