Some on this board bring up the muslim thing and the blm thing like these things have never happened before when whites have done things just as bad or worse, had to have a war to stop them. Will try not to bring up slavery and the dreaded hateful past. but along with hateful muslims, blm, Obama and Hillary. their are whites and blacks that can match these acts.

Can you provide an example of anyone denying Whites have not done anything just as bad or worse? I would like to know if these people are real or just a figment of your imagination.

Big Girl- Since you seem to be so knowledgeable about these circumstances, can you tell me why the NFL approved of Colin Kaepernick not standing for the National Anthem but DISapproved of the Dallas Cowboys wearing an emblem on their helmet honoring policemen killed in the line of duty?

Individual right vs corporate sponsorship (advertising)

Show me where it says that in the Constitution.

So you don't believe in honoring the dead soldiers who have given their lives so that someone like you can have the right to free speech and get on message boards and run their mouths?

You do know the national anthem dishonors Black American soldiers.

Please enlighten me on how an emblem on a helmet showing respect for police killed in the line of duty is corporate "advertising".  Furthermore, can you tell me why this issue, about which Mr. Kaepernick is so passionate" was not brought forward by Mr. Kaepernick in his prior 3 or 4 years in the league?  Surely he isn't suggesting that things are getting worse under the current administration?

OK  We are still talking about something bad that happened over 40 years ago.  Slavery and it's aftermath were horrible.  We get that.  Today, do you feel that blacks have the opportunity to do anything that whites can do?   I think they have an advantage, if they take it. 

westend, I want you to do us all a favor :)  Pick three randomly corporate entities and give us a racial breakdown for their employee hiring practices.

Didn't read it. Was told by a coach of one of the other teams. and I have been to some of these games in the past and they didn't do the national anthem then either due to time restraints.

Hmmm? Would that be considered un-American? No national anthem because you don't have the time? Hmmm?

Human Volcanic Sizematic Poortential Erection: I hope my new word phrase gets into WEbster one day. Anyway, it's human behavior traits compared a  volcano. You know, it caused a lot  hell in the past and then laid dormant for (Westend said 40 years) and all a sudden it's start to rumble and rise to the top destroying everything in it's path. Oh back to your police question. I would ask that the Cowboys have emblems of those young kids killed by the police.

If the Cowboys honor your request, will the Bears do the same for all the kids killed in Chicago by people other than the police?   If your new word does not make it into the dictionary, will you be "offended" and kneel during the National Anthem and, perhaps, loot a store or two?

WTH is a trumpone?

You will have a much broader vocabulary from attending this board.....even new words no one has heard of. Lol

Still waiting dove. The words black soldier do not appear in the anthem.

I also think the last line should be changed to.....O'er the land of the free "provided by the brave."

I think Da Dove is referring to the third verse, with which very few people are familiar since that portion is not usually played/sung.  It is a matter of interpretation and not everyone views it as disrespectful to blacks.  However, if one looks hard enough, one can be "offended" by most anything.

Does it say somewhere in the lawbooks that the national anthem has to be played.....

do you sing the anthem before you get in your car before work or before you eat dinner or maybe before a pick up game or maybe before you brush your teeth..

 

HMMMMMMMMMM

Never heard that verse before but I am not alone.....

    • First pitch about to be in the books.
    • Chester will be the home team tonight.  Neches Tigers will be the visitors.
    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
