You prove it’s verified by some REAL news


I don’t refute trash


I put it in the trash can

Refute one point you cunt. You and I both know you never will because you can't. You're not intellectually capable of doing so.
 
You fish for turds in the toilet and call them gold nuggets


Then you want me to verify your turds as gold nuggets

I’m not handling your turds


Take them to a mineralogist and get them to verify your turds as golden nuggets


Then I’ll look at them from a safe distance

He has never had white privilege


He has monitory privilege


He has never been all white so he can NOT have white privilege


He walks every day of his existence in black skin

Most who deal with him daily (since the day of his birth) do not know his life story


A little black kid at the park

And by how some treated him differently because if it

When he was a teen at the local arcade


When he went to get his drivers license


His whole life


My son has black friends

He has seen it first hand

So I have seen it first hand


It happens to his brown and Asian friends too


It’s real

He was banging white chicks. That's a privilege for any HS student. ;)

Colin Kaepernick’s family are middle-class White people from the suburbs. They didn’t have to make it to the NFL to pull up several generations of their family out of the gutter as Michael Vick did. Colin Kaepernick has the privilege to play a Black man without having to live the Black experience. Nobody in his family will be gunned down by the police. His mother and his White brothers live a nice life in Colorado, his brothers and sisters also live a lily White live in California. His Arab wife will not go through the type of racism the Vick girls will in their lives...

...When Michael Vick looks at Colin Kaepernick he sees a spoiled middle-class White boy who is only acting out because for the first time in his life he had to fight for a football position. Michael Vick deep down insides think to himself, this White boy should be ashamed of himself, my wife, my kids have to go through racial profiling and racism he and his wife will never know it. To any real Black man, a non-Black person acting rebellious to get released from a football is an insult to those of us who are in danger daily living around people like Colin Kaepernick's family.

I always find it hilarious when older people discover that professional sports have been (GASP) POLITICIZED!

Apparently everyone just forgot about Jackie Robinson and Jim Brown.

It's like watching people get mad over politics in comic books; how dare the X-Men get political!

She doesn't have a problem with the country...

She has a problem with you.

You are not the country. You are just some asshole on an anonymous message board, and the closest you've ever come to the Olympics is watching it in your father's basement, on his TV.

Ummm....I'm not so sure. We can certainly agree not many Americans want more money coming out of their pockets to fix social ills....especially if they disagree on how that money is spent.

Consider reparations. For slavery, I vote not, but for Greenwood, Tulsa and/or Oklahoma should reimburse those harmed by government actions or lack thereof.

OTOH, it is in the best interests of the United States that all citizens receive a solid education 1-12 and programs to assist in additional training for skills or a degree. Same goes for a minimal level of health care; specifically preventative medicine, fixing broken bones and lacerations and vaccinations.

But neither side is asking for that. One side wants a full ride for millions of Americans, paid for by millions more of Americans who had nothing to do with it and the other side doesn't give a shit about what's best for the US. They only want to protect their riches.

You're thinking zebras, when what you hear are horses.

I'm talking about basic human rights. The right to vote. The right to not be murdered at a routine traffic stop. The right to have access to a decent education, etc.. All of these things were worked out last century, and are now being clawed back by those who see nothing wrong with doing so.

He never wanted for anything. He never went to bed hungry. He went to the best schools, and enjoyed the safety of a white neighborhood when he was a child.

Because they don't want to fix it. Almost half the nation yearns for the time when black people knew their places. Politicians merely pay lip service.

Sorry, but it's not that simple. The "black people" meme dates back to after the Civil War when former slaves fled NORTH to escape racism and........wait for it......only found more racism. LOL Oooh, the IRONY.

Let's be honest; people are assholes. They'll kill each other for an edge...if they think they can get away with it.

Skin tone is a bullshit argument, but just like the Jew/Israel haters, some people have other agendas.

IMO, it's time more people said "enough".

Sure, help the poor, but don't enable people to be poor. Help the sick, but don't enable people to be sick. Treat all Americans equally. It's in the Constitution and the ideology of the Declaration of Independence.

Anyone disagreeing on the validity of those two founding documents?

LOL. Love the analogy, disagree on its use. :laugh:

We all have unalienable rights. Obviously including every right you mentioned. Where you and I seem to disagree is that you believe government provides those rights and I believe it's government that often takes those rights away.
