Makes me want to "Skateaway" from watching hockey. Mark my words, the major sports league are the ones that will be hurt the most with all of this pandering. 

I am out of the NHL even more than the NBA because the NHL actually flew a Canadian citizen to a game they were not playing in just to kneel for the American national anthem. I was all primed to watch also but they had to ruin it with politics

The "movement" to end racism is a good thing, that we all must be a part of.

 

 

Just stop using your own racism to fight it.

 

 

and you do not get to be the sole arbiters of "what is racist"

 

 

...racism, albeit due to skin color or ethnicity has existed for hundreds or perhaps thousands of years WORLDWIDE......there has not been, or currently is or future efforts to end all types of racism because you're talking reforming human behavior......it is inherent IMO....peaceful coexistence is a pipe dream.......hate for whatever reason is ingrained IMO.....

This nation deserves to burn.

 

And be paved over with salt so nothing can ever grow again.

 

That's how inane that is.

 

This is insanity. Who the H is Lois Leveen? One of her quotes from the article:

"Five- and 6-year-olds are handcuffed and hauled off to jail routinely in this country."

 

Huh? Put the muzzle on. Enough already.

Woke Mobs Demand You Must Now Explain Why You Stand For The Anthem

by Tristan Justice

 

Original Article

 

Kneeling for the national anthem at sporting events used to be the occasional episode of player activism protesting the United States as an evil racist empire. Amid the new 21st century woke revolution however, kneeling has become a key signifier for players and teams to declare which side of the culture wars one sits on

Look who is getting canceled!

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Jerry Falwell Jr. took an indefinite leave of absence Friday as the leader of Liberty University, one of the nation’s top evangelical Christian colleges, days after apologizing for a social media post that caused an uproar even among fellow conservatives. 

The private university in Lynchburg, Virginia, gave no reason for Falwell’s departure in a one-sentence announcement Friday afternoon. But it came after Falwell’s apology earlier this week for a since-deleted photo he posted online showing him with his pants unzipped, stomach exposed and his arm around a young woman in a similar pose. 

The statement said the executive committee of Liberty’s board of trustees, acting on behalf of the full board, met Friday and requested Falwell take leave as president and chancellor, “to which he has agreed, effective immediately.” 

A high-profile supporter of President Donald Trump, Falwell has served since 2007 as president of the university founded by his evangelist father, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell. 

He did not immediately return a call seeking comment. University spokesman Scott Lamb said he had no further comment. 

In an interview this week with Lynchburg radio station WLNI, Falwell said the woman in the photo was his wife’s assistant and that the picture was taken during a

Thanks for pointing this out. We really need to have an uproar over this to hide the little faux pas over a former president taking tens of trips to the pedophile island as a guest of a known pervert.

This is why this election is the most important in history, if the left wins the WH, House and Senate, we're all frocked, big time, the US as we know it will cease to exist in 5 years, if not sooner

At the same time, if Uncle Joe loses, THE RESISTANCE will keep up and escalate the riots and violence in the streets,  the defending of police,, cancel culture and whatever else they come up with. We may not have a country left after 4 more years of that.

Those things will happen regardless of whom is President.


The local government LET the riots happen. Trump being President was just icing on the cake. 

That is why the left is dangerous.

They will let their own cities be destroyed because they aren’t interested in leading for the betterment in their communities, they just want the power and perks. 


If Biden is elected President, it won’t stop the next riot the next time a cop shoots an unarmed man. 


Now the important part is this, The Trump Presidency has shined a light on how easily Democrats bend to a literal mob.

HOW CANCEL CULTURE VIOLATES INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM: Jonathan Rauch explains the difference between canceling and criticism. New video from Reason TV:

 

Related: The Four Quadrants of Conformism. “In the past, the way the independent-minded protected themselves was to congregate in a handful of places — first in courts, and later in universities — where they could to some extent make their own rules. Places where people work with ideas tend to have customs protecting free inquiry, for the same reason wafer fabs have powerful air filters, or recording studios good sound insulation. For the last couple centuries at least, when the aggressively conventional-minded were on the rampage for whatever reason, universities were the safest places to be. That may not work this time though, due to the unfortunate fact that the latest wave of intolerance began in universities.”

This is the definition of liberalism to me- if you don't fit into a racial stereotype then you will be cancelled. The woman has never lied about her race or her origins but liberals made assumptions that were wrong so it is clearly Ritas fault for not making life easier on the stupid.

....exactly...the Dems have ALWAYS been the "party of dependency.....you need MORE?....we'll get you MORE as long as you vote for US"......I do NOT have a problem helping those who WANT TO HELP THEMSELVES......regardless of race, creed, color or ethnicity, there is a segment of the populous that needs some "seed money" to get them going towards their goals of personal financial success.....they take that seed money, coupled with their own drive and initiative to get ahead and run with it.....at the same time and AGAIN, regardless of regardless of race, creed, color or ethnicity, there will always be a segment of the populous known as the "gimme crowd"......they have NO drive or initiative to lift themselves on their own and want someone else to continually do it for them....hence the lucrative Dem base to which dangling the "gimme carrot" in exchange for votes is their keeper......throw BILLIONS more at it with ZERO measure of ROI as to whether anything improved....."oh well at least we tried".....SMH...........

That is hysterical. Those morons are just now realizing she's white? She's been pretty clear that she hails from Eastern ***** Europe!

 

What's next, are people going to be shocked that Ron Howard is, in fact, also white?
