LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!  Are you one of those "I deserve the job because I'm black" people who get all defensive when people rightfully point out that the only reason you're in that spot is because of your race?  If you approve of Affirmative Action, then you ARE that guy. Own it.  

 

Once they started giving people the jobs because of their skin color, then EVERY black person has to deal with the assumption that the ONLY reason they're in that spot is because of their skin color.   Hell of a trade-off, wasn't it?

Again because a woman got a job over a white woman it has to be affirmative action. Again tell me how you came to that conclusion that the better woman just got the job because she was better.

Demographics in the workplace.

If 76% of America is white and 15% is black and 9% other,  would it be acceptable and predictable to have a company with 76 whites, 15 blacks and 9 Asian or Hispanic?  I think some people expect 15% of the population to represent 50% (EQUAL) in the workforce to whites. I don't think it makes mathematical sense.   

I argue this with a lot of folks 50/50 is not equal considering demographics. But it’s certain areans like nfl /nba where you have coaches who been assistant head coaches 10+ years and get over looked for a coach with little to no pro experience. It’s certain areans where you gotta ask why is that. Just let the best Man woman get the job. This country is great because we have many cultures that makes us us. Let’s just embrace it. I don’t believe we fully embrace it. I do a lot of hiring and I always hire the best available.

I find it ironic that ESPN made changes to their broadcast personnel to promote diversity... long story made short, they "sidelined" a white female sideline reporter for the NBA playoffs to put a black female reporter on the broadcast team.  But then everybody gets offended when people point out that she got her promotion solely because of her skin color.  That's what you wanted!!!!

The same people who have a problem with the lack of diversity in front office staffs in the NFL have zero problem with the lack of diversity in the locker room.   Pardon me, but that's racism, too. 

 

The problem is what makes you think that Rachel was better than the woman who got the job. How long has Rachel been with ESPN. What do she contribute? Since they rightfully passed on her she claims she was passed over because of race. Maybe the better woman just won.

Trump the gift that dems welcome with open arms.

You and others said the same thing when he beat Hillary.  This led to big snowflake cry-in parties, because your heads just about exploded.  If he wants the presidency in 2024, it’s his for the taking.  biden and his whore have done absolutely nothing for America or Americans!!

 

Cry in party😂 it’s 8 months into your guy losing and you all still crying. Look in the mirror your the crying snowflake.

This is not even fair. You can be all for trans rights but no way in hell .. was the judges also trans. Let women be women. I wonder how feminist feel on subject.

Why have Allen run against Abbott republicans seem high on both this will only make one a loser. Might kill either political career. And now they’ll have to campaign(fight)against each other. Just my opinion.

With that thought process you’ve already negated the whole poll.

They have George HW Bush 8 slots ahead of his son George W. Bush. The senior Bush lost 10 million votes in his failed reelection bid whereas W. gained 12 million votes in his successful reelection.

Thanks for pointing out the folly in these “historians”. 

Aye I never said I agreed with this article.

You better knock on wood......and as you do read up on the history of other great nations from the dawn of man that have fallen

No other nation built like America it’s apple’s to oranges. Not saying we couldn’t fall but it won’t be over the things we argue about nowadays. If the R/D take the house it’s the end of America if the R/D take the senate it’s the end of America. If R/D take White House it’s end of America. Boogie man politics 

Will be watching war documentaries with a cold one(s) all day.

😂😂 this is funny … bad look for Nevada.

All just a matter of time.

Idk how you can rank a president who won re-election below someone who didn’t. Trump ran against Hillary and Biden. It really doesn’t get any better than that. And never once won the popular vote. Ranking presidents to me it’s pointless the president just give his party bragging rights. Every president will be the president that destroys America yet America prevail every time.

I don’t think every white is racists. I’ll tell you this I live in a different world than most whites I have a different reality than most whites I have many white fiends that keep me even minded. But I have been called the n word with a strong r many times I have be mistreated by the police enough times I’ve had friends who have to give me the .. so my dad or grandpa is kinda racist talk before visits. Some milk it some don’t. I know my reality is truth.

 People love bringing up slavery was so long ago. But just recently in the 60s people was bombing churches hanging folks refusing to let blacks dine in restaurants. I say recently as the 60s because my mom was born in the 60s making it only one generation away from that. What do you think them folks taught there kids.

 And even then in the 60s it was blacks just complain to much.

You can spin it any way you want, this country isn’t great because of the types of actions that this loser did.

If we had too many of her, the country would be great no longer.

You see the difference?

You the one spinning.

The most American thing she can do?

Don’t think so.  

She could join the military and serve her country, way more American than what she did.

You can join the military in North Korea also . Can’t openly protest Kim… you see the difference. It’s our freedom’s that separates us.

On many topics, in many forums and from many political views extreme right to extreme left I have seen this comment.  I have never seen a single person ever claim that someone does not have a right to protest. That is a perfect example of a straw man argument. “Well she the right!!”. Yes and I have never seen anyone say otherwise.

No, turning your back on the flag in protest is not the most American thing you can do. If that premise is true, then being an atheist is the most American thing you can do. Why? Because you have that same First Amendment right to have or not have any religion. Let’s imagine a person saying, “I think anyone who believes in God is an idiot and you might as well believe in the Tooth Fairy!”. Our response should be, “Wow, that is the most American thing I have ever heard. This man upheld two of his First Amendment rights in one sentence”?

So when someone says, I think North Korea is awesome and we also should go to a dictatorship. Anyone that does not agree should be punished by having their entire family placed in prison just like in North Korea, even if the rest of the family does not agree. PAMFAM…. Man that’s the most American thing…..

Uhhhh,  no it’s not. 

The most American thing to do is exercise your first amendment as I have stated. I’ve never once said the way she’s going about it is the most American thing to do. But we live in a country that allows us to do exactly what she’s doing. If it makes some uncomfortable so be it.

Its what makes America great.

I went back and read all of her tweets. She commented the same, "I never said I hate America".......but she never said she loved America or was proud of America. It would be my opinion she hates the country that gave her the opportunity to be great.  Think of how many people would love to have her opportunities...... 

Perception is everything......She is representing the USA, which means everyone. She is not doing a great job of representation because not everyone agrees with her protest. I certainly don't. 

It’s not up to her to prove she love this country. She’s entitled to peacefully protest as she see’s fit. You in return can feel however you choose to feel about it.

This foolishness has to stop.

I’m a critic of our country....but I will always stand and recognize the flag.

Let me ask you what is she accomplish ing by doing that.....other than getting some attention. Pathetic and sad.

it does NOTHING. If you want change get out in the community...talk with local and state officials so on and so forth.

turning your back on the flag is divisive plain and simple.

Maybe it’s a great plan it’s forcing the conversation. As you can see. She has the attention.

Then why choose to represent America in the Olympic s?

 

You can be a critic of your country and still love your country. Like I said this is not Russia or North Korea. The woman hasn’t stated she hates America and wishes to move elsewhere.

If this were Russia or North Korea she would never be heard from again.  Here in America, the land of the free, she is free to espouse her views.  It cracks me up that people feel they need to make these grandiose political statements.  It also cracks me up that people can’t see when you disrespect the flag how the overwhelming majority will take offense to it.  The reason they do it in the first place - attention…..the “look at me” generation (selfies, Tik-Tok, Instachat and Snapgram, etc).  

Thats the point of a good protest. Nobody have to agree with her.

This ain’t Russia or North Korea. USA citizens are free to protest/criticize its government. No where has she stated she hates the USA. She’s doing the most American thing she can do exercising her 1st amendment. How that translates to she must hate America?
