George Floyd Protest/Riots

[Orangeburst]

They’re already struggling and this won’t help.

I was going to make a $400 purchase from Guitar Center last night and got this. I would not of minded a statement as much as the fact they have conflated a political organization with a slogan. Eff em

I'm just gonna leave this here.

I started not to post anything but I feel we should all say how we feel. I'm a black man that grew up in East Knoxville. I went to high school at Knox Central in the early 90's and experienced racism firsthand whether it was a 10 year old kid calling me foul names or getting harassed by the cops. Instead of becoming bitter, it only made me more determined to break down the social barriers and love my fellow man who didn't look like me (One of my best friends is a 60 year old white man who loves Georgia football. Go figure!). Yet here I am going on 48 years and I see this continuing to play out like a bad movie that wont end. Everything you see going on is, at face value, nothing but evil and if we continue to ignore it instead of stamping out the racism that plagues our society (yes it exists amongst Christian folk too), then it will affect the next generation which includes my children. Its time we all made a stand. Thank you and God bless!

I'm no NASCAR fan but I thought this was weak on their part:

NASCAR bans Confederate flag at all events and properties

I would think this would cost them more fans than it gains. Why can't sports stay out of politics?

They won’t loose enough to make a difference.

Nascar is trying to stay a float, even before covid they were headed for bankruptcy.

Someone other than Trump or Biden

You can't name who you are voting for?

I don't know if this has been asked/posted or not, but how in the world will Chauvin get an impartial jury per the 6th in this?

Those are the only 2 names he knows.

Now I'm curious. Have you looked in to third-party candidates yet? I haven't really heard much about anyone, except for the other Jo (libertarian nominee). Not trying to be an ass, just curious.

LOL Was the NRA Founded to Protect Black People from the Ku Klux Klan?

I can't wait until the Dems import enough immigrants to turn the whole country into another Chicago. There are 50 Wards in Chicago, 46 of which are represented by Democrat City Councilmen. The other 4 are Independents. Not a Republican in sight anywhere in city government. That is what we need for the U.S. Then, all of our problems will disappear.

How was that racist, Einstein?

The Writer was biracial. That's why I asked you to re-read it.

I work with Africans. I don't see any in those photos.

Can't take the chance of catching the rioting and looting on camera.

How about fake ass politicians ?

I would argue that law enforcement/1st responders/Emergency Department staff see the worst of the worst of humanity every day and it does have an effect. But i would venture that they have more accurate outlook of actual humanity and their motivations and flaws and weaknesses than any other profession as well. Definitely moreso than a politician, journalist, lawyer, teacher, etc

It does change you. I've promised myself when my empathy and compassion go, so do I.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Numerous.

Wow .. what a bunch of pandering candy asses

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Found that out later. I need subtitles

Gotcha, one gaffe a day is the rule right?

I'm in shock I didn't think A&E would cancel it. I assumed it would be put on hiatus until fall.

I now wouldn't be surprised if the networks go after some of their top rated shows Law & Order, Chicago PD on NBC, the NCIS & FBI franchise on CBS, etc...

He could have had several televised funerals, if only we had known.
