As you said? Then you made that up? He won more games as QB than he lost in NFL.

Where's the NFL calling it that?

Here's a story on the NFL SB pregame songs.

...
Reba McEntire and Post Malone headline the pregame entertainment lineup for Super Bowl LVIII from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, which was announced by the NFL on Thursday. McEntire will sing the national anthem and Post Malone will sing "America the Beautiful."

The big game will be broadcast on CBS (Feb. 11, 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff) and there will be an alternative broadcast on Nickelodeon. Football fans can also stream the game on Paramount+.

A household name through a successful career that includes music, television, film, theater, retail and hospitality, McEntire is a Country Music Hall of Fame and Hollywood Bowl member who has more than 50 award wins, including honors from the ACM Awards, American Music Awards, People's Choice Awards, CMA Awards, GRAMMY Awards and GMA Dove Awards.

Post Malone, a Grammy-nominated artist, will sing "America the Beautiful." Malone's top vocals include the Grammy Award-nominated "Rockstar" (feat. 21 Savage), "Sunflower" (feat. Swae Lee), "I Fall Apart," "Psycho" (feat. Ty Dolla $ign), "White Iverson" (5x-platinum), "Better Now," and more.


Andra Day will sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Initially known for her 2016 Grammy-nominated behemoth, "Rise Up," which amassed over 1 billion streams and an RIAA triple-platinum certification, Day has performed alongside numerous global artists and stars. Her feature-acting debut "The United States vs. Billie Holiday" earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the Oscars, two Golden Globes for Actress in a Drama Motion Picture and Original Song in a Motion Picture.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Lift Every Voice and Sing" will be produced and arranged by Emmy Award-winning musical director/producer Adam Blackstone.

LOL. Not remotely what I said at all. More made up nonsense in your post.

 

Yes, you are correct. They did lose to the Ravens.
His running skills were better than his throwing skills.

 

Actually, back in those days I was hoping that somehow the Denver Broncos could get him to be our quarterback (we came close until the Broncos made other decisions regarding the draft). Instead, we got Peyton Manning, who capped a magnificent career by winning Super Bowl Fifty. "No fate but what we make".... Who knew?

 

Below is what you wrote and what I responded to. Notice words like racial discrimination, murdered, white cop, social inequality and walk a mile in their shoes. What else could you possibly be implying other than blacks are victims?

 

Sorry, I don't associate with them. Its all seen on video's. But thanks for admitting that you were only saying that those on the right say it because of what I said, and not out of any truthfulness.

Floyd may have been murdered per the law, but he was not murdered due to his race. As evidenced by the fact that Chauvin was never charged with a hate crime. Not once could anyone match any racist thing to Chauvin in Chauvin's past. And lord did they try. Which made the whole thing BS. But then again, BLM was founded on BS to begin with.

 

For actual slaves, none of that made much difference because a slave treated with dignity was still a slave. If they were still in chains at the end of the day, clean or dirty, then the bottom line is they’re still in chains. Silver linings are kinda hard to find there.

 

Reality.
You don't know what happened to Geo Floyd by a white cop?
Would not be surprising.

 

See, there you go again, blacks can only be victims. What does the cop’s race have to do with anything unless you were trying to portray blacks as the victims of whites? You should go to the FBI’s website and take a look at some murder stats. Also, by mentioning race as if it was some sort of factor in Fentanyl Floyd’s death in a thread about the black national anthem that you guys say is supposed to unify us, your own post shows us that unification isn’t working and the anthem and it’s defenders are self defeating.

 

Oh nooooo, the internet people say them.
Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

He was.
There's 250 yrs of history doing said things.

...
The deaths of Floyd and Taylor follow a tragic pattern of racist state-sanctioned violence that has shaped U.S. history for centuries. During slavery, black people’s lives were circumscribed by organized groups of white men who policed the enslaved. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the emergence of “Black Codes,” which curtailed black rights and mobility, emboldened nascent police forces and white vigilante groups to carry out violent acts under the guise of “law and order.” In cities across the nation, black people were targeted by police forces, arrested at higher rates than their white counterparts and, in Southern states, trapped in a system of bondage that mirrored slavery.
...
trapped in a system of bondage that mirrored slavery.Early in the 20th century, lynchings emerged as another tactic to control the lives and movements of black people.
...
Black Americans today die at the hands of police at a rate that is almost equivalent to the number of documented lynchings a century ago. As a 2019 report revealed, police violence is now one of the leading causes of death for black men in the United States. And as the “Say Her Name” report of the African American Political Forum makes clear, black women and girls are also vulnerable to police violence and brutality.

The report released Wednesday by the Minnesota department of human rights, following a nearly two-year investigation, said the agency and the city would negotiate a court-enforceable agreement to address the long list of problems identified in the report.


This would include input from residents, officers, city staff and others.


The report said police department data “demonstrates significant racial disparities with respect to officers’ use of force, traffic stops, searches, citations and arrests”.

Fine, do the usual and ignore reality.

Just like your comment on Kapernick having a losing record at QB, you were shown to be wrong.
Did you say that because he's black? At least partially?

 

I was not wrong, he won 28 games and lost 30. Are you implying I’m lying because I’m white or because he’s black?


Colin Kaepernick: His wins to losses over his career

Kaepernick has a win-loss record of 28-30, from his rookie season to his final one, during the regular season.

 

You probably won't make any headway with this explanation, Kal... I tried the 'shades-of-grey' approach by comparing the plight of Negro slaves with that of Chinese laborers in this country and accomplished nothing but smacking my head into the proverbial 'brick wall'. The 'identity-politics' people and other 'wokesters' hear what they want to hear and nothing else matters. For them it's all about leveraging 'White guilt' over things that happened long ago to get power and prerogatives today!

I notice that one of them was prattling on about how slaves were deprived of 'dignity'. And, yes, it must have been very detrimental to one's dignity and 'off-putting' to Negro slaves to see that they were rounded up, carried off, and sold to White businessmen by other African Negroes -- usually as a result of tribal conquests in the almost constant bouts of tribal warfare than went on in Sub-Saharan Africa for many hundreds of years!

And anyone who thinks that slavery is no longer practiced to this very day would do well to read this:

Link: https://pathfindersji.org/2023-global-slavery-index-reveals-rise-in-nigerian-survivors-of-modern-slavery/#:~:text=The Index also reveals that,slavery worldwide live in Africa.

 

You're either ignoring the point, or just can't understand that the world doesn't conform with your views no matter how much you wish otherwise.

 

The silver lining is that their ancestors were born here and not in some jungle hunting antelope.

 

Im not ignoring the point at all, what I’ve been saying is for the people involved, trivial things don’t make much if any difference in the long run given how unfavorable a situation is. A nice slave owner is still a slave owner, a happy slave or an unhappy slave are still slaves. Period.

 

How exactly is being born here in slavery a silver lining? Even after slavery was abolished, what’s the silver lining there, still being blocked from voting? Still living in legal segregation? The Klan being a threat every single day?

 

I see the NFL is now trying to alienate Muslims.

NFL Adds Wokeness to Super Bowl Week, Announces LGBT-Themed 'Night of Pride'

The NFL said in a statement: “The National Football League (NFL) will host the third annual A Night of Pride with GLAAD presented by Smirnoff during Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, NV on Wednesday, February 7. The event will feature a special live performance with singer-songwriter VINCINT.

"A Night of Pride with GLAAD is an evening of music, cocktails and interview-style conversations with GLAAD, a non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ advocacy and cultural change. The NFL family and partners will gather to spotlight advances in the future of LGBTQ inclusion in professional sports as well the NFL's commitment to LGBTQ former and current players.”

Regarding all the black friends you will probably say you have but really don't, how many of them would be alive, in this country and enjoying your friendship today were it not for slavery? That is the silver lining.

Slavery is done and over with, it's in the past, and like my wife, some people just don't let things go. It's not healthy.

 

When someone says that they hate something, I tend to believe them. And I would bet if "internet people" said that "they hate black people" you'd believe it in a heart beat. So don't give me the garbage you just tried to attempt.

He was what? Charged with hate crimes? Prove it. Racist? Prove it.

Your source is paywalled. Not even going to bother clicking the link.

Police killed 1,300-1500 people in 2023, depending on who you source. Out of over 50 million police interactions. Now, its been awhile since I last checked, but last I heard, back in 2018 I think it was, 40 some odd unarmed people were shot, only 4 of which were considered not justified. Police were arrested and charged for those. 2 were of white people shot, 2 black. And iirc there were over 60 million police interactions that year. All other shootings that year were considered justified. I can't imagine that has changed.

You've got a LONG road ahead of you to prove that racism has to do with the killings of black people by police. Note what I said. "PROVE" that racism had to do with the killings. NOT assumptions. And you're not going to be able to prove it by pointing to people were not even charged with a hate crime. And then you're going to have to prove that racism is such a problem and so engrained into our system that some how, some way 1300-1500 (of which probably only 20% or so are black) people killed by police in over 50+million police interactions actually represents a racist systemic problem.

 

Disparity =/= racism. Show me the racism.

 

KS, you’re putting up the good fight but you have to remember what you’re dealing with and that is when five black cops in Memphis kill a black person it’s because of white supremacy. That’s how bad they’ve been brainwashed with anti white and anti cop propaganda.

 

Ironically, when I was making that post you quoted that is one of the instances I was thinking about bringing up and rejected due to the absurdity that surrounded it.

Actually, I think I am done with this for now. Spinning wheels against a load of slime isn't very fun after awhile.
