If you are using your social "platform" to attack others on being uneducated, all the while butchering grammar left and right....why in gods name should anyone listen to you? Just b/c I agree with some of the things he said doesn't mean I should just let everything fly. Is it a product of his culture and identity or is a product of not learning basic english and grammar?
I guess it is harder and harder to differentiate nowadays. But I don't like identity politics so that's why I pick on the libs. I can bash the NRA or the evangelicals with the next guy, but they aren't in my face like the ridiculousness from the left is.
Race is already a part of anything unless you're silencing people whose race has been a relevant factor in their experience.
Neither should having people do something as simple as being respectful to the flag and observe our national anthem appropriately....but here we are
He pushed the narrative that an incident involving two people of different ethnicities had to be motivated by race. He assumed every similar incident was motivated by race. That is divisive.
Yeah man. He bitches about Trump dividing the country and then turns around and says there isn’t any way he would sit down with Trump. Way to go Lebron, you just confirmed that you have zero desire in trying to unify the divide. Great role model there.
It's not Lebron's job to unify the country. Trump is a racist, a cheater, and a liar. Why would anyone want to sit down with him?
That narrative didn't need any pushing. It was there already. He validated black people's concerns that it was about race and tried to communicate that to white people. You dismiss that it was about race out of hand, and you're projecting your closed-mindedness onto him.
Then you must be really rich because Trump's cuts aren't saving you any of it. You're exactly the target demographic that Tax Cut was done for. You see more money on one stub of paper 2x each month and don't realize the other places you're spending more.
The flag and national anthem representing our country are perfect objects for expressing criticism of that same nation.
I make more money when others are making more money. Plus I get paid 5x a month.
Choosing a time that has been honored and reserved for saluting those who fought for our country and freedom---for your own personal agenda will never fly. The time has been spoken for and its been proven time and time again....that its not up for grabs.
Since when have you watched CNN?
It's not the military's song. It belongs to all of us. Using a sporting event -- every one, practically -- to promote the country or/and our military is already a political statement.
You can spin it any which way you want....what it means to you, what these things stand for, if its a military thing, or a political thing, or just basic respect and observance for our rights and those that helped provide them. The ONE constant is this time is spoken for.
Out of hand? It has been 6 years. I assumed it was about race when it was a new story. I am a little rusty on the facts, but I remember the racial allegations being driven by the 911 call that was edited to make it appear Zimmerman was volunteering the fact that Martin was black. But ABC admitted that they "accidentally" edited out the part where the dispatcher asked him what the suspect's race was. Once it was assumed that race played a role, there was no turning back. Maybe there are facts that I am not aware of that prove it was motivated by race. But I know there were never any formal charges related to it being race related.

And Trump doesn't? He has done more to deserve it than any other pres in recent history. We are in a 10 year run of the economy going up and he thinks he deserves all the credit. If he would just stay off that f*cking twitter account he might get more things done. He can't hide from what he did in the past, it will find him over and over again so he might as well just own it. Just shut the f*ck up and do the job already.
I likes this random quote.
And that is what blows my mind. Instead of using the appropriate channels and actually bringing awareness to the cause via their platform....they chose the way that would cause so much interference that nobody gave a shit about the universally worthy cause. What it did was create negative sentiment that was unnecessary. Very poor leadership imo
And instead of saying, this isn't being received well by a lot of people. Now that we have their attention, let's find a way to bring awareness that doesn't divide people, instead brings them together. They say, wow look at all the racists that see our protest as disrespectful. Oh well, fck em, we're going to do it anyways.
Not sure, but ya gotta love the hard stance by Jerry Jones on this issue, huh?
Valid point. I don't think anyone who beats women should have a job making millions of dollars. Especially a job that is more of a privilege.
