    Big girl got a reaction from thetragichippy in White Privilege ?   
    Someone tried to allude to the fact that black quaterbacks rely on their scrambling and athleticism, and white quaterbacks rely on their intellect. There are white qb's that scrabble; as well. There are black quaterbacks that are pocket passers. I am not talking about Superbowl wins.

    Unfortunately, She is correct on the bolded statement. While I don't believe that is the general consensus today, I'm old enough to remember it was in the 60's and 70's.

    What I find interesting is pass completion and Super bowl wins don't even suggest a correlation.  It also depends on the guy receiving the pass.....  
     
    Brady(7 rings) #19 pass completion
    Montana(4 rings) #23 pass completion
    Bradshaw (4 rings)  #171 pass completion

    You are correct on civil service tests, however..... other criteria are taken into account that may include race. 
    Hidden Figures was a great movie.
    I didn’t learn about Evers, King and others, because I was alive during their “history”. History class didn’t teach current events. 
    I actually met, took pictures with and got a book signed by one of the original Tuskegee Airmen while at the Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. I told him what a true honor it was to meet him.

    Why? Because, qualified black people were not being included. If there wasn't a criteria, some businesses wouldn't hire any blacks. Black owned businesses hire white people, and I dont think that black people get bonus points on civil service exams. How many people got jobs merely because they are white? Black only clubs are not legal. At one point, he general consensus amongst publishers was the notion that black people dont read. Growing up, I dont remember reading any fiction novels written  by a  black author, and there are books where every character is white. "Waiting to Exhale" was the first book that I read that had a black author. I was 24, at the time. I didnt learn about Medgar Evers, the Tuskegee Airman, Malcolm X, etc in traditional history classes. My youngest son, who graduated from High School, 2 years ago, didn't know who any of these people were until I told him. I didnt know about the women depicted in the movie "Hidden Figures". They were called human calculators, until last year. How many family friendly shows are on network tv, now? Blackish is the only one I can think of at this time. At one time, some thought that black men weren't smart enough to play quarterback in the NFL. That was only about 30 years ago.

    It doesn’t bother y’all that Rudolph kept promising all of that “proof” of election fraud at press conference after press conference and never produced anything? 
     
    Except for repeating unsubstantiated rumors he picked up off of Facebook, of course. The fact that y’all ride his 🥜 like your ride Trump’s shouldn’t have surprised me.

    The dude is just shady... he was at the very forefront of the "stolen election" lie.  Constantly promising to bring forth information that would prove that fraud occurred, but he never did. 
    He's also the guy who called for "trial by combat" in his speech right before the disgraceful combat that occurred in and around the Capitol in January.
     
    Rudy is a piece of crap.

    I am very frustrated with what some people are saying. This is an open and shut case. I feel sorry for the officer.

    The Officer showed an excellent ability to act/fire under duress.  Whether he’s ex-Military or not is immaterial.  The fact that he made a (correct) split second decision, and followed it with four shots dead center, indicates to me he has the tools to be a great Policeman.  Wish we had thousands more like him.

    She was mere milliseconds away from stabbing the young lady in the neck. The officer made the right decision. I am impressed with his accuracy and precision. Most people that I have encountered that are mad do not know the full story. They think she was in her yard holding the knife in her hand, and the cop jumped out and killed her. When they see the video, most understand. I am glad that the cop had his dashcam on. The deceased family was telling a different version of events.

    I think he had the wrong info when he made the comment. It was initially reported that a black female called the police dept for help. She was standing in her yard, alone, holding a knife, and an officer shot her. I am glad the officer has his dashcam on.

    Cops are not above the law. A world renown Cardiologist and a world renown Pulmonologist said it was murder, not a drug overdose. His police chief  and fellow officers said he didn't follow procedure. Flyod only had trace amounts of Fentanyl in his system at the time of his death. GUILITY
