Racism at it's most definitive.

You have people that say the N-word all of the time, but feel as if others should be punished for saying it.  It doesn't get any more hypocritical than that.  If it's offensive, then it's offensive.  Don't give me that "term of endearment" BS because every video of a black on black fight has that slur sprinkled throughout it-and their actions don't seem very endearing.  If black people were bothered by that word, they'd stop saying it.  Period.  I refuse to pretend that the emperor has clothes.

Preach.

I agree with you that things were HORRIBLE 155 years ago.  They didn't get a lot better after the Civil War, either.  You had decent progress after '64, or so I've read.  I know for a fact that things have gotten a lot better in the short 40 years that I can recall.  I'd dare say that black people have more opportunities and benefits afforded to them than any other race here in America right now.   If they do not choose to take advantage of those opportunities because they'd rather talk about the "old days," I really don't know how to respond... They'll NEVER advance as a group because of the victimhood mentality perpetrated by the left.  

Does systemic racism exist... possibly....  Maybe even probably.  And it accounts for about 2% of the problems faced by the black community today.  Focusing solely on "racism" and "oppression" won't solve a thing for the community, because the problems that AREN'T rooted in racism are still gonna be there.

You mentioned Silsbee.... so I'll ask this.  With all of your talk about "how blacks couldn't own property for 300 years," why are the historically black communities in Silsbee (and any other older city I can think of) littered with abandoned homes?  Drive through Silsbee, West of 96, South of MLK and north of 327.  It's some decent houses, a lot of falling down houses, and tons of old homeplaces.  You can see the same thing on the other side of town, too.  If racism prevented blacks from owning property as you suggest, then how did all of those black-owned properties end up abandoned?  It's EVERYWHERE, and racism didn't cause them to fail to maintain their residences, pay their taxes, or bother to have properly executed wills probated. 

There are tons of problems faced by that community... but racism is the lazy answer.

    • He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack. 
    • If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It's a poll but I could definitely see this as realistic.   From the article: Catholics in the United States have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger. Pew Research released on Apr. 30 a report exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation. The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 45% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic. In 2020, a similar poll from Pew Research found Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump with a staggering 67%-26% split.
    • You said a lot there. Truthfully, that is the root of the issue. Who cares what a kid thinks about how coaches are running a program? Kids play, coaches coach. For some reason, parents have this backward in a lot of places and its wreaking havoc. 
    • He's already stated he's a huge Clinton fan.
