The truth is not disrespect...🤣

Sigh...the road to ruin is paved with good intentions...

Maybe not legislative, but they were attacks against the judicial and executive branches, with violence and destruction being perpetrated against federal buildings, courthouses and law enforcement, routinely (for several months in some places). Innocent citizens were harassed, pulled from vehicles, some beaten in the streets, and some even shot... If we are going to be fair, we cannot deny that those were intentional acts of aggression, carried out by people whose stated objective is to bring about violent “revolution” against our constitutional republic... These same “revolutionaries” erect statues of Vladimir Lenin in NYC and Seattle, and march with a hammer and sickle flag, while they tear down statues of Washington and Frederick Douglass, and burn the red, white, and blue...yet no one cares to have a commission on that? That’s a hard sell for me, my friend...

Is the new strategy to have a commission/impeachment before every election? I guess I would respect it more if there were commissions into last summer’s insurrections as well...until then, this is just partisan imo...👍

Why are we doing this to ourselves? 🤣

I don’t know...I actually think he’s got a chance to be better than Trump because he’s not as crazy...

I don’t know much about the NYC mayoral race, but there seems to be a trend happening... Summer 2016... Complaints that Democrat primaries were rigged to allow Hillary to beat Bernie Winter 2020...Democrat primaries at the Iowa Caucus has major malfunction in vote counting as it seemed like Bernie was going to win...until he didn’t...again... Fall 2020...Several irregularities taking place in multiple battle ground state counties with regards to vote counting in presidential election... Summer 2021...Irregularities at NYC Democrat Mayoral primaries with extra votes being mistakenly added... You don’t have to be a partisan to see that all these “irregularities” seem to be happening on a particular side...without drawing any definitive conclusions, it does stand out as a bit odd...

Totally agree that it seems to be more about class than race...and might even add “culture” to that as well...There is a reason that most (if not all) of the police brutality/homicides we see, of minorities, are of low income, low educated people, as opposed to middle/upper class black people...

I despise watermelon...🤣🤣🍻

May he Rest In Peace...but his Neo-Con policies won’t be missed...

Do you know who our starting TE is?!?! At least Ertz can catch...😉

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day... Teach a man to fish, and he will eat the rest of his life...👍

But if we are talking about systems that create inequality as racist, what about within certain ethnic groups, themselves? Not all black people produce the same outcome...and you can go on down the line with every ethnic group in every culture... Heck, even siblings within a family don’t have the same outcome...so I don’t understand how it’s racist if different races don’t have the same outcome, if you can’t even produce an equal outcome within races, or even families... Furthermore, what if people don’t want the same outcomes? People have all sorts of different preferences, passions, and needs...who is to say I even want the same thing as my white American friend? So how is that racist if I choose something different that contributes to an unequal outcome?

Great post... the bolded really reminded of something I once heard from a public speaker...He claimed there were actually 2 forms of racism, but that one was not as well known as the other... (1) The first kind is the kind we always hear about...It’s when someone believes their race to be superior to another race...Therefore that person would look down on others because they were considered less than... (2) The second kind of racism is the kind we don’t often hear about...It’s the kind where someone believes they are inferior to someone else...And as a result they become jealous and resentful, even hateful, towards another ethnic group...(The example the speaker used was the violence that blacks (more than any other ethnic group) perpetrate on the Asian American community. The speaker claims that this “black on Asian” hate comes from Asians coming here with nothing, and eventually (on average) earning higher, per capita, wages than white Americans- dispelling the whole narrative of white supremacy keeping people down...It also further shines a light on the black community, and begs the question- what’s your excuse now? (Now, just to keep it real, the black population in America is wealthier than any other black population around the world...In fact, if you combined the total wealth of black Americans, it would constitute the 15th wealthiest nation On Earth. And that’s after coming through slavery and Jim Crow...so I do feel all the racism talk is a little overblown, to put it mildly.) Completely agree 👍

Ok, that is your opinion, and that is fine, but how do you feel about the OP? That is fine to have that opinion but I want to keep this thread more about discussing the premises of the “racist” claims rather than the politics... I want this thread to be about seeking truth and not about scoring political points...

Very interesting perspective...👍

Well, to be fair, covid did not specifically kill that many people...if you noticed on the data charts, all other causes of death went significantly down over the passed year- not because they were suddenly cured, but because any one who died with covid was listed as dying from covid- a “slight of hand” that the establishment used to, likely, make it seem worse than it was...Also, we know that hospitals were monetarily incentivized to list covid as cause of death...the more covid casualties, the more money received from the government...Fear is a hell of a drug...👍 My grandmother died with covid, not because of covid..she had no symptoms but was put on end of life care in a nursing home...she was 98 years old, with several co morbidities...she needed her drugs to survive but they discontinued treatment, which sped up her death... Listed as cause of death? Covid... -------------------------------------------- A factually correct rebuttal to this post has been placed here: and here: Further discussion or response to this post on either side is likely to constitute general covid-19 discussion beyond the scope of football relevance.

I don’t really want this thread to be about mud slinging, but rather open and honest discussion about how we draw conclusions about racism...The following are just random thoughts and musings of how my brain tries to logically make sense of one of the bigger issues of the day... Premise (2 issues) (1) I never understood people who claimed that only white people could be racist because only they had power...(2) Because then those same people would turn around and say white people were inherently racist, like it was some gene that only white people were born with...But those are two different notions- If white people are born racist, why would they need power to be racist? Let’s examine... Conclusion to issue #1 First of all, if, in order to be racist you must have power, what about in predominantly Asian countries, or Middle Eastern countries, or South American countries? Is a white person, who travels to those countries,” all of a sudden not racist because his race might not be the majority, or not in a position to have power? Furthermore, does that make those majority races racist because they have the power in those regions? And does this, in turn, show that racism and power are two mutually exclusive concepts that may or may not be connected in any given situation? Conclusion to issue #2 Second of all, we all have an ego, which serves to protect the interests of the “self”...therefore, are we ALL not naturally hesitant and unsure of those things/people that seem unfamiliar or different to us, for the sake of self preservation? Does this mean that we are ALL biologically hardwired to be racist? Feel free to discuss...

I support all players wanting to get the vaccine and NOT wanting to get the vaccine...And I am willing to accept whatever outcome that might bring about for our season...Go Bills! 👍

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaacist!!! This dude just virtue signaled all over everyone’s face...and the msm just couldn’t get enough...🤣

Our country is officially systematically racist...against white people... Never thought I would see the day where I, a black man, would be defending them against discrimination and racism...

CRT opposes Civil Rights...

I thought that it was any opposition to the opposition of CRT was racist...😉 Anyone who labels an entire race of people as oppressors, is racist... if you’re judging people on their identity group instead of their individuality, that is the definition of racism...
