LOL

I love you Heebs. I’m actually jealous of the sense of community the guys my wife works with has. They call her “their little gentile girl”.

Tell her to quote Ex 12:49 and tell them she’s their stranger.


"The same law shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you."

Nothing at this pace but I’d like to see serious welfare reform and outside oversight for police just to get us started.

I agree but many of the other various BLM protesters are crying for more affordable housing and such which is code for free housing, projects, etc. This lifestyle has a lot to do with what fuels the root causes of their plights.

Curious what welfare reform you think helps?

That’s a long conversation but let’s start with training in addition to welfare. We can train someone to be a lineman/electrician in 2 years. At the conclusion of training you make 40$ an hour. And it goes up from their with experience. So let’s educate and lift people out of poverty instead of the current system where you’re punished for trying to get out.

Yup. The reality is being stolen with unrealistic demands. So it’s actually a class war and not a race war

Not going to happen with a team that has internal strife, and now the seed has been planted.

I'd love to be wrong, but I'm still looking for the first "BLM affiliation" that went well.

Kaepernick has no complaints. Of course that was for an ad campaign, not competitive sports.

As someone that was around the team in the early 2000’s, I can attest that there is always some sort of racial division on the team. It doesn’t mean that the entire team is at odds, but I can guarantee there are enough at odds on the team to ruin the locker room if it doesn’t get shut down.

Haynesworth involved?

You think that would be acceptable to whomever decides acceptability of such things? I would suspect that is soundly rejected, and then where do you go? I agree with your premise, but I think we are naive to believe that is found an acceptable measure.

I’m not sure it’s forced.
A message here is being stolen.
Systemic racism is a real problem. Its not what anyone is talking about though. For example abortion is genocide Against the black race. 14% of child bearing age women are black but they have 52% of the abortions. Planned parenthood is located most often within walking distance of black communities and its founder openly said the purpose was to suppress the black race. Nobody wants to hear that though. Welfare is designed to enslave people. The system could be designed to educate and lift people out of poverty but instead it’s designed to trap people. Once they’re on it they’re trapped and it stays that way for generations. But nobody wants to talk about that.

So there are absolutely reforms that need to happen but the message has been stolen and replaced with class warfare. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and get back to the message.



But I digress

The Great Society is a real example of systemic racism.

There is no perfect system. And until we have term limits these type of conversations are not possible. Because now it’s more important to keep people in a situation where you can buy their vote

I think poor decision making and lack of personal responsibility are the root of many of our current issues, race and otherwise.

So, are the black people that claim they experience systemic racism liars or just too stupid to understand what they are experiencing?

Are black people who benefit from affirmative action suffering from "systemic racism" implemented by LBJ and his merry band? Are they suffering from favorable Ivy League selection policies? I don't see how you can claim "systemic" racism in this age after passage of the civil rights act and all the ongoing legislation to go with it. Ask your self is lynching murder? Do we have laws against murder - would lynching not already be covered? When was the last lynching you can remember - how many black on black murders have happened since that time? The best you can make of all that is rampant democratic/liberal pandering to the black community could be systemic and racist.

The liberal/socialist/communist mode of operation is to convince people they are suffering from one problem or another - and that leftists have the only answer. To that extent there is "systemic racism" - the creation of victims to foster power in the political spectrum. Question: why don't the BLM protests take place in Chicago on street corners claimed by true black violence?

I don't know what others' opinions are but I really don't see a problem with the idea of the BLM movement. It isn't harmful in any way. I do not support the organization of BLM however, it is a radical, racist political organization.

And I’m out. I will not support an institution that condones violence in any way shape or form. BLM is nothing but a group of Marxist thugs that support looters, rioters, thieves and yes murderers. They attack and destroy innocent people and their businesses with the ultimate goal of destroying the nuclear family and every institution of America to remake a Marxist socialist empire. It’s in their website and listed on their goals. It’s not about race, if it was they would actually care about the thousands of black people killed every year by their own, they would stop supporting a culture that glorifies gangs, thugs and drugs. But none of that matters to them.
I’m sick and tired of being called a racist just because I was born white! I’ll be damned if I have to listen to this crap every Saturday. Sorry UT, this is one alum you will never be getting money from again.

How do we differentiate?

That's the difficult part. Unfortunately some good people will be manipulated by the bad actors but that can be said for just about anything these days.

Short answer, I don't have an answer..

I do. Come up with another phrase. Is the UT protest less effective today if there are no BLM signs?
