Could that be because the left is constantly crying wolf? When you constantly hear cries af racism where you know it doesn't apply you tend to assume allegations are bogus until the evidence suggests otherwise.
You have to start with the mindset that racism [against non-whites] is ubiquitous, then actively look for it, and make it the default presumption anywhere it could exist. Otherwise you could miss it.
The same cognitive bias that leads the black community to overestimate the racial prejudice it faces is what leads you to view this incident through this lens.
I don't want to make this a racial thing, but I think there is good old fashioned American racism at play here. If Orton were white he'd already be up there.
What, no love for Jimmy Dix? I know he got banned and all, but how many of these guys could hit a guy in the stands straight in the nose while riding on the back of a horse?
I just want to say, uh, that we're all--on a personal level, really enormous fans. Orton, especially the early games, was truly a source of inspiration.
You're looking at this from a glass half empty point of view. They're about to make a group with a median IQ in the double digits the mouthpiece of the leftist movement.
If you were going to be a planter at the time it was pretty much a necessity. Had it been banned across the country it would have been a different story, but when the competition has cheaper labor you do what you have to do or go out of business. It's easy for us to moralize, but the majority of people today who would tarnish his legacy would have done the same thing had they grown up in that time and found themselves in that situation.
The point he's making is that there's a difference between suspending the existing rights of citizens and passing legislation that would affect the privileges currently available to certain people.
It's not a defense of Richard Spencer, it's just drawing a distinction between two concepts that are not analogous. It doesn't mean either is right.
I think you have to put him up there. After what he did for the organization, and his commitment to excellence both on and off the field, it's really a no-brainer. He saved us from 12 games of EJ Manuel under center. Give the man his due.
Exactly. The fact that you thing the two situations are indistinguishable in this context is priceless.
Just for ***** and giggles, what would you say if a bunch of white players started doing the nazi salute before games to protest anti-white sentiments?
Do white nationalists get the benefit of this point of view also?
And I for one don't think they're all idiots, I think they just choose to go with their preconceptions rather than where the evidence leads them.
Aren't you the guy who thinks federally funded colleges curtailing speech on campus is indistinguishable from business owners curtailing the public speech of their official company representatives?
Only a lunatic would entertain such notions.
BTW, Have I ever told you about the US-Russian espionage conspiracy to get Putin's puppet elected President?
