    Jim Crow just ended and now you want everyone to be stars. That might work on other planets in the universe but it doesn't work that way on this one.

    Maybe they've been hanging around the Clintons and Mitch McConnell and his gang of Congress Critters too much and have picked up some bad habits.

    Ya know what else used to be normal? Treating fevers with cocaine. Just because something used to be normal doesn't mean it was right. Prayer has no place in public school. If you want to lie to your kids at home about fairy tales, be my guest. When tax dollars are funding that education, I'd rather they learn something useful.

    Why, I just can't understand why he'd do such a thing. Can't fathom it.........

    they can cut him because he sucks as a quarterback. That is a complete factual statement.

    He couldn't cut it as a top class quarterback anymore and decided that he could make a better career as a social justice warrior while getting big money from Nike.

    There is equality. Or do you think 13% of the population, mostly poor, should be running things? Black people mostly dominate the NFL and NBA. White people have the upper hand in a STEM and finance. Think things are equal enough....except when it comes to murder and robbery.
