    You actually were bashing BISD...
    Another thing.  The BISD that you know has been gone for a few years now.  The guys at the helm mean business compared to the previous jackarses...

    CardinalBacker reacted to Big girl in Minnesota man killed by cops   
    I am frustrated,  but I realize after talking to one of my white friends that we most likely wont agree on every issue. My life experiences are not his life experiences. We don't  always see things the same. He thinks i make a big deal out of everything, but he thinks this shooting and the one is Baton Rouge was not justified. I know he is not a racist and he doesn't  always understand what my rants are about, but SOME people on this board are just racist and they disgust me.

    I think the bible said something about getting the stick out of your own eye before you try to get the speck out of your brothers. The media has a vested interest in making sure that we all keep choosing up sides. Controversy creates rating which equals more $$$. Nobody cares about the white kid that got smoked by the cops in Cali last week. Nobody cares when dozens of black kids get shot in Chicago every weekend. Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Eric from NYC, Sterling, and the dude from Minnesota yesterday. That's six I can name off of the top of my head. I can't name a single black person that has been killed in Jefferson County this year.... I'm curious as to why there isn't a national outcry over the lady that got killed in PAT Saturday by that security guard. i don't know why, but I have a nasty feeling it's because the crime doesn't fit the "white gunman kills black person" narrative that really gets us all going. I'm tired of a group that calls itself "Black Lives Matter" when they obviously put a lot more value on the few black lives lost to white actions and ignore the many, many, MANY more black lives lost to black actions. I think that's a tiny bit racist in its own way. 
    Nobody can admit that a young black man is much more likely to be killed by another black man than by a cop. Most people don't know that cows kill more humans per year than sharks. Cow attacks don't aren't interesting enough, but shark attacks have just enough sex appeal. The fervor is artificial. Same thing with the whole "cops are racist killers hunting down young black men" song and dance. 
    When a cop shoots somebody and it's unwarranted, I love to see them punished. The BART cop from San Fran that killed the guy on the train platform a few years ago.... Horrible mistake, paying the price.... Perfect. The cop from SC that gunned the black man down as he fled apprehension? Never should have shot that man in the back.... Jail time is absolutely deserved. I don't know if you ever saw the video of the other cop from SC that shot a black guy when he went back in the car to get his ID. That young man didn't have the disposition to be a cop. I'm glad to know that he will not be able to be a cop whenever he gets out of jail. 
    However, there are lots of times when guys just have to be put down. It's sad, but it's true. I thought the black cop from Orange was totally justified in shooting the white guy at O'Reillys in Orange a few years ago. Maybe I'm just pro-cop. 
    The fact is this. Most people like sausage, but nobody really wants to know how it's made. Enforcing the law and keeping the community safe isn't clean or pretty. It involves kicking a few tails, dirty words, and even shooting a few people every now and then. Watching a man being shot to death is a horrible visual. Thanks to the fact that everybody has an HD camera in their pocket these days, the horrible visuals of crime-fighting never more than a click away. I don't know why the young man from MN ended up shot. I'm not going to take his girlfriend's account as gospel, though.... And I don't expect to take the account of the police officer at face value, either. To this day people in Dallas were yelling "hands up, don't shoot" referring to Michael Brown, even though it has been absolutely proven that the "hands up" moment never actually occurred. From his employment history (the kid from MN) and his lack of a record, handgun permit, etc, I tend to expect that we'll find a cop that made a really bad decision and needs to pay accordingly. I'm anxious to see what the investigation uncovers. But that video was horrifying, and it's hard not to feel like somebody should pay for the way that young man died.... But that's based on my feelings upon seeing the aftermath, not based on whatever evidence the investigation actually proves.... Because the evidence could very well indicate something totally different than what my feelings are after watching that young man die. 
    I also suspect that Mr Sterling from Louisiana hastened his own demise with his actions. With that background (prior violent offenses, resisting arrest charges, recent drug arrest, and illegal possession of a firearm) and the fact that somebody had already called 911 reporting that Mr Sterling was threatening them with a gun that evening, combined with his noncompliance when the officers arrived all indicate that the officer may have been justified in their actions. Time will tell. 
    Its way past time that we all stop listening to people who want to use rhetoric to inflame our emotions and pit us against each other based on skin color, religion, political offiliations, etc....

    Words have impact. When people lie and claim that there is a war, or pretend that cops are gunning down innocent young black men in the streets, events like tonight in Dallas will occur. I have a friend posting on FB tonight about how there have been 116 people gunned down by police this year in America. He's worried about his teenaged black sons! On the other hand, he can't even hazard a guess as to how many black men have been gunned down by other black men this year in Jefferson County, which is where his sons actually live! You're focusing on the wrong problems, my friend. 
    The stats are available. Don't quote this, but something like 4400 black on black murders per year on average 2009-2013 per the FBI. Something like 120 cop on black murders per year for the same period. If you want America to take you seriously, start protesting about the thousands of lives lost to senseless black on black violence instead of focusing on the very, very few instances of police killings (most of which were obviously justified). 
    But then again, your talking about a group of people who will stand out in the sun and protest an old racist like Paula Deen who admits using the N word in 1987, but then not be bothered by the same word in 2016 when it's laid down over a catchy beat. 
    Keep focusing on imaginary damage inflicted by The Man, and just ignore the much greater damage you're doing to yourselves. P

On the other hand, he can't even hazard a guess as to how many black men have been gunned down by other black men this year in Jefferson County, which is where his sons actually live! You're focusing on the wrong problems, my friend. 
    The stats are available. Don't quote this, but something like 4400 black on black murders per year on average 2009-2013 per the FBI. Something like 120 cop on black murders per year for the same period. If you want America to take you seriously, start protesting about the thousands of lives lost to senseless black on black violence instead of focusing on the very, very few instances of police killings (most of which were obviously justified). 
    But then again, your talking about a group of people who will stand out in the sun and protest an old racist like Paula Deen who admits using the N word in 1987, but then not be bothered by the same word in 2016 when it's laid down over a catchy beat. 
    Keep focusing on imaginary damage inflicted by The Man, and just ignore the much greater damage you're doing to yourselves. P

    Well said Soulja...
    As a Jaguar faithful, season ticket holder, graduate and kids in the program, I don't agree with the higher ups on this one.  I enjoy the trips over to the Reservation.  2 of the last 3 games with the Indians have went to OT and despite being a 2 TD loss, was pretty close for the most part last year.  I enjoy our home games at the Butch but enjoy all the road games just as much.  Taking away home field for any school is not what Friday nights are about.
    And this would cost BISD more money, money we don't have.  I personally don't think this is going anywhere.  See you all at the Reservation October 21st, which will decide who gets the #1 seed and who gets the #2 seed in D2...

    I've seen Central lay whoopins on PNG at the reservation 
     
    A certain soccer coach at Central, formerly of Ozen, doesn't know how to handle himself or his players.

    PAM will make the playoffs and contend for the DC. Nederland has a chance to beat them. I'm not sure anybody else in that district will.

    Correct, no cover-up by SISD. Just a similar coach (room mates) with no discipline that let me know BOLDLY, he was a "foot-ball coach" and he had sons....and of course no effort during or after to apply any discipline, in fact even after a restraining order.... tried to have him slipped into the school (off limits per restraining order) to have his senior pictures taken. Only after "others" informed me of the intentions and I made a big deal about it, on legal terms pertaining to SISD, did it not take place. I only bring this back up because it is a culture to protect the "superstars" and their entitlements and of course Briles and company are 2 peas... when it comes to lack of discipline. So playing for one is no different than playing for the other.... I just find it hard to believe the events that "HE" may have just heard about (but been around a long time) is the main reason for not wanting to enroll.

    Good Athlete. 
    Not a corner, imo, but would be a good safety if he puts in the work.
    Smart but temperamental, which is saying alot because there were several issues on the Tigers last year. 
    Playing with an edge is one thing, when it hurts your team it's something else.

    Help me understand why he's a racist. His stance on illegal immigration is simple. We need borders. Every other nation in the world has borders. It's just practical.  We can't fit all 7.5 billion earthlings within our borders and give them healthcare and free college. It's not possible.
    Otherwise, i can't see anything that would qualify as "racist" about his positions.  I mostly see a lot of "people of color" don't intend to vote for him... So they call him a racist. 
    The word "racist" has been hijacked. It used to mean when somebody felt that one particular race of people were superior to the others by virtue of their genetic makeup at birth. Nowadays it is used to describe someone whondoes't embrace the liberal/progressive viewpoints in their entirety. If I think that a lot a racial group "B"s problems are, well, kinda self-inflicted and not solely the responsibility of the white man and his "white privilege," then I'm a racist. If I disagree with the current president on any issue, the I am, you guessed it, a racist. The term is used to minimalize and marginalize any viewpoint that is contrary to the left's narrative. "Don't listen to him.... He's just a racist. He doesn't understand things the way that I do." 
    So I ask you, without trying to start an argument, what EVIDENCE do you have that this man feels that white people are superior to other races?

    I blame the NRA. Guns are the problem. No one needs a gun. Not the citizens, not the police. Federal agencies should be the only groups with firearms. And they should only be issued to the government personnel at times approved by the UN. 
    How did I do?
