[QUOTE=nolemmings;1706298]So his military service should be discounted because he was drafted instead of enlisted, and he had a right to protest because he could prove, in a manner satisfactory to you and/or others, that he was an actual victim of oppression.
I really feel sorry for these poor oppressed football players. Maybe we should set a fund to help them through their oppression |

Did Jackie ever get down on all fours and raise his leg pretending to piss like a dog in celebration?

Do people of color face discrimination from law enforcement? If so, how can we stop this discrimination?
Show concern for those two questions and the protests stop (edit- maybe not, the unity against Trump might continue to inspire). But we'd rather argue over flags, anthems, and protesting at work. Whatever keeps us from the real issue. If there is data that shows discrimination, but then no collective will to fix it, what might that say? https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016...ce-racial-bias Last edited by Dewey; 10-01-2017 at 04:58 PM. |

The ignorance is on your part. And your suspicions are that I am a racist? People like you like to throw that word around when you have no answers.[/QUOTE]
Can you edit the quote? It makes it appear that Peter Spaeth said it when it was actually nolemmings. ETA, now it's doing it to me unless it's just my computer. Last edited by Cliff Bowman; 10-01-2017 at 06:05 PM. |

There will be no firings for kneeling at the National Anthem. There could be no firings absent formal action taken through the CBA, which the owners would lose. Following along so far? Whether the players are themselves oppressed is irrelevant. I'm a 58 year-old white guy who never served in the military. Do I have no right to join those who have been oppressed and protest with them at what I believe to be injustice? Or do I have to pass some exam satisfactory to you that I have such a right? Who are you to tell me what causes I may protest and those I cannot? And if I'm allowed to join a protest, where do you draw the line at who else can and cannot? There are white players kneeling in these protests. Do they need to prove to you that and how they've been mistreated? Is there a Jackie Robinson test? (Apparently he earned the right to not salute the flag or stand for the anthem.) Don't worry, it was a rhetorical question--the Answer is no.
