Colin Kaepernick 49er QB refuses to stand for the National Anthem

[frigidweirdo]

There are people like that. There are people not like that. There are white people, Hispanic people, black people, males, females, old, young who are like that, and also not like that.

We get to see the location (town) and customer first names on these calls. They're almost always from highly minority communities, with names like Dequan, Shanequa, and DeAndre. Very few John Smiths from suburban or rural areas.

How the hell do you rack up $7-12,000 in a gas or electric bill? That's not a 2 month issue.

So, black people have been given a raw deal, and they're often in poverty (25% compared to 7% for white people) and then you take this as a sign that they're the problem, rather than they've been struggling against white dominance for 300 and more years?

Interesting that he doesn't want to show pride in a flag or country that oppresses black people or people of color but getting paid millions and millions dollars to play a kids game has no impact on his pride.

What I HEAR is people more interested in paying for pot and cracked rather than keeping their utilities on. People AMAZED that they are expected to pay their bills and who can't understand why a $7,000 bill would be cause for shutoff. "Wut? Don't welfare pay dat sheet? I gots to pay dat?"

If they don't like this country go back to Africa or the Caribbean.

There are people like that. There are people not like that. There are white people, Hispanic people, black people, males, females, old, young who are like that, and also not like that.

What you're saying is something else.

Yes. This happens just as often in Scandinavian countries without a 13% black population.

No, no it doesn't.

Yes it does. You think Scandinavia is just a happy clappy place?

However the difference between Scandinavia and other European countries is that the people vote in politicians to work for the people, and the politicians work for the people.

Yes, they have a purer version of democracy.

And fewer black people.

And so you decide that it's the black people that causes all the problems, and not the political thinking. Why is that?

The superiority of white culture is made evident by the high success of countries where they are most concentrated. Everything you admire about Scandinavia is because of their ethnic constitution, including their novel ideas of government.

Go to African nation's populated by black people, you get poverty, shanty towns, starvation, rogue militias, anarchy, massacres, and hopelessness.

The contrast couldn't be any clearer.

They leave themselves in poverty. They valiantly ignore the things that would get them out of poverty. We literally had one person call and tell us they couldn't pay because they had a heroine shipment coming in they had to pay for. Then his girl calls back 2 hours later to complain that we called the Boston PD on him.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

His choice I just hope when the inevitable backlash hits which he should know is coming he deals with it like a man and doesn't whine like a little bitch.

Amen to this. If he can't deal with it, he should have just stood for the anthem like everyone else did until he could deal with it.

God bless you always!!!

That's the first mistake, living three hundred years ago. How do you think people like Ben Carson managed? Not by living three hundred years ago. No one in America today ever owned a slave and no one living today was a slave. Blacks living in poverty is not the fault of the whites. Being a single mom of several illegitimate children will do it though. Make smarter choices!

Yeah, he's so oppressed by his loving, white Blindside parents.

You're not helping them with lame excuses. The Irish got a raw deal too and they managed to pull out of it just fine. By enabling them with these excuses, you are telling them they are incapable of making responsible decisions and taking command of their destiny. That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans and quite frankly, blacks would be served best by no longer listening to Democrats.

 

[Brynmr]

If you can't be proud of your country, you can't be proud of your family and you can't be proud of yourself.

Of course you can. None of them are mutually exclusive...

I certainly wouldn't be proud of myself or my family if we all weren't proud of America.

Now, having said that - a Hillary win will be a game changers.

 

[WillowTree]

Here's an idea! If all the other countries want equal footing with the USA then pay as much as we do to support the UN. They don't want us to brag but they never turn down our money or generosity. When we have disasters such as Louisiana we don't see much help either, but when disasters occur worldwide good old Anerica is right there helping out.

The contrast couldn't be any clearer.

Or, perhaps this is because of WHERE they live.

If you look at all the big empires we've known, many of them became successful because of the situation they found around them. The Egyptians for example. Why was Egypt very successful thousands of years ago, but now an absolute mess?

Could it be that the Nile was more fertile? Could it be that you needed less of a population to succeed and the Nile could cope with a certain amount of people, but in more modern times it can't cope well?

The Romans. I mean the Italians haven't been known as great warriors for a long time now. Why was Rome so successful 2000 years ago and not now?

Through time the latitude of successful empires has risen from Egypt, to Greece and Rome, the Spanish and Portuguese to then be Germany, England, France, Russia, the USA.

Or maybe as we've developed technology, the colder climates are more successful.

1/7th of the US population lives between DC and Boston. The area is far more successful than the Deep South. Why is that?

Could be all about resources. Coal become a product for industrialization. Who had coal?

Success based on coal? Seems northern Europe has a lot more. Then again Sweden and others don't have much but were successful. So it's not just coal, but coal played an important part.

Basically this topic is extremely complex. Your idea is to make it simple and blame someone else so you don't need to think. You're basically going to be wrong if you do that.

It's just appropriate pride, not inflated pride. Sorry to burst your bubble.
