  1. C'mon... The Cosby Show, the show that had Erkel, 227, Jackee', the Fresh Prince, Good Times, The Jeffersons, have all been around for decades. I don't watch TV anymore, but I have caught an episode or two of Blackish and Empire. White History isn't "celebrated" every month... in fact, it's not celebrated at all. Your kid wasn't paying attention if that's all he learned about. All I have is my high school diploma and a junky ol' business degree from Lamar and I can tell you all about Frederick Douglass, the Tuskegee Airmen, Harriet Tubman, Booker T Washington, Plessy vs. Ferguson, Brown vs the Board of Education of Topeka, Martin Luther King, Jr, Thurgood Marshall, Jesse Jackson, Rosa Parks, etc, etc, etc.... stop pretending that black History has been somehow ignored. My problem is this... If you want to have a Congressional Black Caucus, go right ahead. But you can't be upset if somebody wants to have a group of White congressman. That's just an example, but it's representative of the problem as a whole. If somebody wants to form a black student union, it's all fine and dandy... but the instant that someone proposes a group to support white people, they're immediately branded as supremacists, white nationalists, racists, etc..... the double standard is appalling. The idea that it's okay to celebrate your heritage only if you're black is preposterous and will ultimately lead to worse relations between the races. I firmly believe that the constant demonization of the white segment of our society by the left is going to lead to results that none of us want. Serious question, though... how did your kid get into Baylor? I'd have liked to send mine, but it wasn't in the cards. You either a) have a lot more money than I do or b) have athletic gifts that enabled him to get an athletic scholarship or c) he's a preacher's kid or perhaps even got admission to fill some sort of quota based on his skin color. Either way, your kid got an opportunity that mine didn't. That's just how it goes, though.... I'm glad that your kid got that chance and I hope he's taken full advantage of it. Don't you think it's ironic that a kid who has had "privileges" that my kids didn't is still lying about how "he only learned about 3 black people in those traditional classes" as if he's somehow been oppressed?

  2. So many not wanting the shots, now they’re dangling a carrot. That should’ve been done much earlier. But our President and his cohorts are still masking up and social distancing. Shows little faith in the Vaccine.

  5. Tell your world renowned doctors only 287 children have died in 17 months in the entire United States (1/1/20 - 5/12/21). And many of those were children with comorbidities. That’s straight from the CDC who, if anything, would inflate the actual numbers. That’s approx 200 per year. Not giving my child a vaccine.

  6. Has anyone heard the outrage from biden or any Democrat on the recent murders of police officers? Guess it doesn’t fit their narrative. I believe this is National Cop Week, started by JFK. Trump acknowledged this every year of his presidency. There hasn’t been one peep from braindead. Says a lot about this party!

    White Privilege ?

    If you’re using sins of the past to justify more sins today, that’s ludicrous. There’s not a race, or group of people on earth that hasn’t committed atrocities. Do you think pushing racial division is right or good for the country? How do you think people feel when blacks insist that only black lives matter?

    White Privilege ?

    So black people made black books about black people? You can’t see that white anything has to contain black? Are you blind? There is no white only TV network. Whites don’t get bonus points on civil service exams. Black business owners aren’t required to hire a certain percentage of whites. You have done well for yourself. You look the proverbial gift horse in the mouth. Black only club..... Compro on Cardinal Drive

    White Privilege ?

    I don't know about anyone else but I sure have missed out on this "white privilege" thing. Would love to know when my privilege is going to start.

    Good to know. Was just curious....I know not everything can be based on stats. They didn’t have blocks listed. I’m all about defense....

  11. They don’t need it. Real data (science, if you will) shows COVID-19 has very little threat to children or for them spreading it if they get it. The vaccine(s) have not been tested enough to put them at undue risk. QED: Why would you vaccinate a child for the hell of it?

    What good has biden done?

    That was an undignified and incompetent thing for him to say.

    Best of luck to Coach Edwards. We usually had a wealth of information on Leggett due to his efforts.

  15. [Hidden Content] This is how Israel handles their business, surgical strikes that get the bad guys, many times while hiding among civilians like the cowards they are. Palestinians lob missiles amongst civilians with no regard for innocents, all while the lefty media treat them as equal offenders.

    As someone who's never been particularly interested in Lamar basketball, all of this local talent means I'll go see a few games next year.
