    So, using language from rap lyrics makes someone a racist?

     

    Or, perhaps using lines from a TV show does.

     

    Who's the arbiter of racism nowadays, anwyay?

     

    And what's the statue of limitations on racism? I'll hang up and listen.

     

     

     

    How about Lorenzo Alexander, who said that he is going to have to work extra hard to earn his teammates trust because of the tweets?  He's on the team, I'd say he's a good arbiter.

    So, in combatting racism, you form stereotypes.

     

    Gold, Jerry. Gold.

     

     

     

    Well, you combine it with the fact that their son tweeted a bunch of racist ****, which is a learned trait.  On it's face, you make the right point, but it lacks context.

     

    Allen's mom gets my vote.

    Oline is far more important than WR

     

    Groy is starting material.  Hopefully this center from Cincinnati is too.  They need depth, but WR is much more dire.

     

    Dawkins - Groy - Bodine - Ducasse - Mills

     

    Not a dominant group, but not a complete disaster either.

    Roethlisberger did not succeed right away. The guy was a game manager that was coddled by a top 3 defense. Could have easily been a bust going to another team. He had time to refine his skills while handing the ball off and not being asked to do a ton early on in his career

     

    That's the point of the post.  Any rookie QB that has early success is asked to be a game manager first, and allowed to expand their game over time.  PIT went 15-1 in Rothlisberger's rookie year.  If that's not success, I don't know what is.

    White teenagers throw out the “N” word like they’re making a rap album. Not in a derogatory way but like an equivalent to “dude” or “bro”. I’m not saying it’s right but it’d be different if he was saying “black people are all “N” words” or something 

     

    Feel free to discuss the football related portion.

    Allen seems like a good person. I don't think its fair to judge someone off a few tweets when they were 15. Teenagers tend to be stupid and make mistakes. He is a young man now and seems to have grown up a lot. 

     

    Not really the point of the post, but point taken.

  7. Between he and Rosen, Allen is more likely to succeed early.  The idea that Rosen is more NFL ready is misleading.  Yeah, he has better mechanics and is better at reading defenses, but if you ask him to play like a vet NFL QB right away, he's going to get killed.  Rookies that have the most success are treated with kid gloves.  They are asked to make one read, roll out, dump off, etc.  Everything is very deliberate.  Allen, due to his athleticism, is much more suited for this.
     
    Examples of rookies succeeding right away are Rothlisberger, Wilson, Watson, and Prescott.  Look for the Bills to run this type of simplified offense.  
     
    While Rosen, IMO, has more potential to be great, Allen is more likely to succeed early.

     

  8. Allen might be able to start right away.  They need to simplify an offense, make it one read, a lot of roll outs, etc., similar to what Dallas did with Prescott.

     

    I was certainly on the Rosen bandwagon, but it would be much harder to run this type of offense with any of the other QBs.

    As soon as we believe they are not capable of something better is when the shooting war begins.

     

    As it currently stands, the two worlds we inhabit are not compatible; and the factions are growing more hostile.

    "Grief"

     

    He's referencing individuals, living in harmony, without divisions; paraphrasing John Lennon.

     

    He is not making an argument for a one party state.

     

    Again, your reading comprehension is awful.

     

    Ohhhhhhh. Of course that's what he was saying.  Hahahaha.

     

    Sucks when you try to call someone out on reading comprehension, then have to make up a whole load of BS because your own reading comprehension is terrible.

     

    p.s. This guy is talking about a shooting war.  Probably need to report to the authorities.  Straight psycho.

    Good grief... 

     

    Your reading comprehension is awful.  Seriously.

     

    He didn't argue for a one party state at all.  He said that the two existing parties are about to be pushed into extinction.

     

    He made no argument for what would arise in the aftermath.

     

    Agree with his premise, or not, he didn't say what you said he did.

     

    Do better.

     

    "America will be one."

     

    Good greif Charlie Brown!

     Do you really believe I think you care about Jews and Black Americans? When you live in the past you can never progress to the future. No matter the Democratic party is about to become extinct. The Republican party is about to become extinct. America will be one.

     

    All kneel before Grand Commander Trump!

    Your reading comprehension is awful, or you're a liar.  It's one of the other.  So are you stupid or dishonest?

     

    No one here has said that blacks are inherently more likely to commit crimes.  Criminality is not inherent to race.

     

    What has been pointed out, very accurately, and buttressed by data, is that blacks are more likely to commit crimes.

     

    This is not due to race, but rather is due to economic circumstance, as crime is a socio-economic problem, and blacks are more likely to be poor.  This is for a myriad of reasons including, but not limited to:  the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow, and to the legacy of Lyndon B. Johnson who set out with a political goal of creating a political ghetto for America's black community to live in which decimated the black family.

     

    This is the unfortunate reality, and by denying it, you are making things worse for black Americans, not just today, but for countless future generations .

     

    Sounds like you agree that they should be able to protest and bring awareness to their situation then.

    What's funny, is no matter what answer you're provided you would never agree and find some other way to get out of this because you are spineless. It is cleared, just by your questioning that you have no intellectual honesty nor are you actually willing to engage in an argument. This is why your argument... If that's what you're choosing to call it is ignored

     

    The history is just like NFL draft, you don't know how good it is until it's gone. And this last year-and-a-half is definitely already better than the last 10 years before. Probably 12. 

     

    The question serves to point out that the idea of "Make America Great Again" is flawed.  The dishonesty is in the statement, not in his question.
