    Wow! A two day sale, online! Very impressive.
    Let's wait and see Nike's figures in a time frame that is little more than a momentary blip.

    And then there is this: "To be sure, Nike has taken some flak from customers who oppose the NFL player’s actions. Sentiment toward the brand dropped 38% on Sunday and Monday, according to 4C, but it’s not all bad news." https://www.marketwatch.com/story/n...mpany-unveiled-kaepernick-campaign-2018-09-07

    Keep hope alive, suckers.

    My lady friend is a Nurse, she tells me that since Obama diverted $550 Billion dollars from Medicare to Obama Care the quality of Medicare has dropped dramatically.

    Well **** if nurse Betty said it it must be true. Or this article here that explains the cuts to Medicare were less 10% of the over all medicare budget and that the cuts themselves were subsidies to private health insurers. http://swampland.time.com/2012/08/16/fact-check-obamacares-medicare-cuts/

    Taking a knee is a sign of submission. It is best to sit on your butt if you want to protest.

    It was the 1960s before blacks gained any semblance of freedom.

    Most of the people who died in the war were poor. But they were also stupid, which lead to their unfortunate end. It is that way in all wars. The poor die for the rich because the rich tell the poor that it is patriotic for the poor to go to war.

    Can you explain the difference between a good slaver and a bad slaver?

    Why do Jews keep attacking Hitler and his fellow Nazis? He died about 73 years ago.

    “Any semblance” is an exaggaration

    Blacks had less oppertunity than whites

    But that changed decades ago

    The poor die for their country

    Maybe they are poor

    And maybe they will die

    But at least they are not so cynical they have lost the ability to love

    Hitler was a monster

    Jefferson Davis was merely loyal to his state

    Lets face it. When the police kill black people without repercussion, a certain segment of our society thinks that it is OK. They really don't give a rats ass about black people. In fact, they will support a total police state if that includes a crackdown on all black people because they are scared shitless of black people. This is Jim Crow **** folks. It is pure racism incarnate.

    This. This is exactly why I can't stand CK. He "Kneels" in hatred. Hate for this country, and claims he's making some kind of nobel sacrifice.

    His exact stated reason for Taking a Knee During the National Anthem, was:( bbm)
    "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

    As if ALL this country is about, is this one issue. America deserves disrespect because he says it does.

    He knows nothing of love, or pride, or real sacrifice. If he did he have found a way to protest injustice, in a way that supported his love of both African Americans, and this country itself.Instead he chose hate.

    How much more effective against the problem he professes to be so concerned about, would it have been, if he could have had a message that conveyed LOVE for this country. " I Love and respect this country, too much to tolerate this "injustice" ( and frankly, blacks are not the only people unjustly killed by LE, an much of those who are killed, gave the police good reason to believe they were in mortal danger IMO), he could have unified this nation, asked people to rally in support of a solution, but instead he chose mockery, disrespect and hate.

    Wow, on average 626 black babies are aborted every day. I bet you don't have any problems with that.

    Well, the White Nationalists don't have a problem with it and, behind closed doors, neither do the RWNJs who clamor about abortion.

    Back on topic: Colin is still a middle class white kid passing as black for money.

    Ok

    Again your hate for white people is revealing itself

    Davis was no more a racist than many northern political and militsry leaders of the day

    Blacks were widely viewed as inferior by both sides during the war
