What would he have done, if the NFL had just stopped playing the Anthem? Just not played it anymore... Where/how would he have staged his protest then? What I find most abhorrent about the whole circus, is that he was not using his "platform". For those two minutes, the focus was not on football at all. They were two measly minutes set aside to unite people in love and respect. For just a couple minutes we were all just people united. Why would he need to use those two moments to further his own personal political agenda? Of all the moments available to him, on any given Sunday, He chooses to destroy love and respect, to protest hate and disrespect. Ironic.
LOL. Poverty didn't end for them in 1990. Poverty still exists today. How would you expect them to just move?
So every cop in your eyes is a thug? I've got good people I know who are cops, not sure why you think they're all thugs. I'm assuming you're an anarchist then and would just like to see crime run rampant.
The way to end poverty is for the poor to stop being stupid and start doing more to advance themselves Something blacks as a whole have failed to do
Do you think blacks are poor - those who are poor - because they are being held bsck by mean ole white people?
There is no one answer to the problems facing black communities. I do know that among those problems, being too lazy do do anything to improve their situation isn't one of them. While in the military I dated a sweet, quiet, black girl. She refused to hold my hand in public because she said where she came from, both her and I would be shot if people saw us. This was in America. In 1991. So, if you think that those who would have shot us dead for holding hands in public were going to allow black people to live the American dream, well, you're just dreaming.
If you go to any public place you will se plenty of blacks and whites holding hands The problems of modrrn blacks are self-induced and can only be fixed by them
Yes, things are better, and then you go on to assume that every black person in America lives in a ghetto and belongs to a street gang. You, sir, are as much a part of the problem as they are.
Not every person will be able to achieve what they may like to in life, for a myriad of reasons, not always related to effort, but racism against blacks/ poc, is very unlikely to be high on the list of reasons why, these days. The pendulum has swung toward unfair advantage, if anything.
Thars not what I said in post #1914 Liberals both black and white are so desperate for a boogyman to use as an excuse for black failure that you will make one up if you have to
That's not what you said earlier, you said, they should just move. It takes money to advance. To make education better.
Yes, there's a history of it. You even admitted to it. You say it stopped in 1990. No, it did not. Maybe some laws were changed, but behavior doesn't change the exact time a law changes. Hell, you still think it's all do to skin color. Even though it's proven more white poor people commit violent crimes than poor black people.
