Agree on what? You are having an argument with your self? If you weren't the original poster I presented the question to, exactly why did you interject and proceed to put words in my mouth? You want to grandstand on your soapbox, do you, but leave me out of it.

where did I say NFL players are more privileged? Someone made a post saying there is a difference in the two, implying one is more important than the other. In turn I asked if one was more privileged...

No one is saying that can't. If there are posters on here saying they can't, understand the value of the source.

So, in turn one has more privilege than the other? So, again, what am I refusing to see?

You said an NFL player is not the same as an hourly worker at Jiffy Lube, i asked a question based on that statement... What is it I am refusing to see?

So they have more privileges than the common worker?

I'm just curious, where exactly is systemic racism prevalent? Now, keep in mind you don't know my gender, my race, my religion, absolutely anything else. Do not get defensive, just simply asking a question. Moreover, this whole, this is when we choose to do it, but it doesnt mean we are being disrespectful... its the equivalent of saying "no offense, but..." before saying something *****.

Dawkins was a second rounder.

Without Google, id like to see how many people know who Daniel Shaver is or who Tony Timpa is, and tell me exactly how much body cams have stopped police brutality.

Dawkins takes that next step this year, becomes an elite LT... i mean, I dont see any reason why this can't be that next step season for DD.

I'll gladly be open to hearing any data that backs up an argument, or anything that can substantiate the argument, and make an informed decision based on that. You, among others wanting me to see something for what its not, and telling me to just bend at your will makes no sense. If someone wants to make a claim they swear as truth, well prove it, bring the facts to the table.

Show me the data to back that up, using hypothetical situations and what you think would happen, and protecting those beliefs doesn't make them facts. Again, prove those interactions are slanted one way or the other with some factual proof.

If people are just so brazenly going to forget about it, or put it out of their mind, what is the point then?

Black men with guns would have been killed was your optic, i showed you you were wrong. Its okay I'll keep dealing in facts and you'll keep reaching.

I really don't know how many more times we have to go around in this circle. THEY COORDINATED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. They obtained permits, they were peaceful, they took the correct steps to do what they did WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ***** LAW. And the best part of this, look at those big guns!!! Oh boy

You have absolutely zero proof of that, you are making absolutely no factual arguments. You are trying to push an agenda and again, it's not resonating. Prove your statements, otherwise, take a lap.

They obtained permits, they coordinated with the police, they had the right to have those fire arms. Show we anywhere what they did was illegal... ill wait Also, what America did you love, if its been historically and systemically racist?

Okay, yeah, so you clearly attacked my comments to grandstand. You have an axe to grind, good for you, but it doesn't resonate with me at all. You showed your true colors. Those people had every right to do what they did, again, did it lawfully, peacefully and not a single person was hurt, not a single business was looted. Michigan's government has been a joke for a long time. Prove that wrong, if you can, there can be some discourse, but you can't. You have your narrative, you have your rhetoric, and thats blatantly evident by the fact you went off without even being on the same page. The "America i once loved" the same one founded on people protesting ***** government... weird Also, remind me, if this country is systemically racist, and it is institutionalized, which America did you love?

Its clear we are talking about two entirely different groups of people. In my post I was talking about the people protesting in Michigan. You are clearly talking about something entirely different. You attacked my posts out of context. The original post I was responding to was talking about the protests in Michigan a few weeks ago, I even then pointed that out. We are talking about two entirely different things.

This whole post was simply a way to call people rednecks. There was zero substance, there was zero facts, just you going off about rednecks and "killing machines." You dismiss that no one was hurt, all those "killing machines" and NOT A SINGLE DEATH. If they truly are these brutal killing machines, how was it so many gathered and not a single killing? Moreover, what the ***** are you talking about this isnt the wild west? They obtained permits, they coordinated with law officials, they demonstrated peacefully, what are you talking about? Was it the same rhetoric when the 2nd amendment March in Virginia when ALL ETHNICITIES WERE THERE? All carrying "killing machines," or are they only "killing machines" when white people protest an absolutely absurd Michigan government? You want to be racist against white people, have a day, not going to make me flinch, but just expose your self.

So the learning stops there? People can't re educate them selves?

Mainly because 99.9% of people don't carry themselves anywhere near the way they do online, as they do in public.

Totally

Sports, any form of it, are entertainment, pure and simple. I don't hold these athletes to any sort of standard. They are human beings, i don't expect them to totally check everything at the door.

Dishonored your people for 400 years...
