Brueggs Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 19 minutes ago, BullBuchanan said: Who does? Who's a "leftist elite"? Absolutely. There are 6 major news outlets in the US that control 90% of the media. All owned by leftist elites. Fox news is also moving in that direction over the last year. Campuses around the country have been censoring conservative viewpoints routinely while liberal platforms are not challenged. What happened to the debate between two sides, where actual solutions are created? Hollywood? Constantly promoting liberal view points. How much conservatism have you heard in Hollywood over the last decade? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the page tells you that it's left wing? Did you read that the data is a visualization of the annual report from the World Economic Forum? Are you suggesting their data is incorrect and intentionally politically biased? If so, do you have data to support your claims? Do you have data to support an improved social mobility score for the USA? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like parroting the breathless, fact-free pearl clutching of such visionaries as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity! If you find the leader of Antifa or can locate any of their weekly meetings or official creeds, please let me know. As to the subject that this thread is about: Good for the Bills organization. I can't imagine actually being upset that a sports team feels that the lives of the players that make up the majority of its roster actually MATTER. The Gall! All due respect , i think you are full of sh @#t its not about antifa.. its about what "black lives matter" actually is . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was refuting you’re claim that you had a better chance of socioeconomic mobility in America than “any other place on earth.” Taken quite the step back, eh? Most resources qualify 25-30 countries as first world. Your claim of 20th isn’t so great amongst isn’t so great amongst its peers, is it? Since this is a football board, let’s make it anecdotal to football. You: K’Lavon Chaisson was the first pick in the NFL draft. Me: Actually he wasn’t, here are the order of draft picks. You: There were what, 255 draft picks in the 2020 draft? 20 is still really good. Me: Sure, but that’s not what you said, nor what the conversation was about. Or maybe you should just call Auburn National Champs. I get they weren’t number 1, but they were top 10% and that’s pretty good! I don't think there's probably a huge difference between number 1 and number 15 or 20. Both have tons of economic freedom Also look at the size differences of those countries. America is massive compared to Denmark and most of those top countries population wise We have a lot more people to worry about economically. and historically first world second world and third world has nothing to do with economic status. It was a labeling system during the Cold war First world countries were countries that supported the allies. Second world countries were communist Bloc, and third world countries were neutral.. The terms were not economic. All Western European nations are first world countries by grouping. Whatever people have done with the term over the last 30 years I'm indifferent towards, But First world countries were specifically the allied Bloc during the Cold war. That was the original use And America's GDP ls still #1 Edited July 30, 2020 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE Bills Fan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 7 hours ago, SectionC3 said: How do you know the bills don’t simply support the point that the lives of blacks matter? It’s an important discussion piece. African -American players are more likely to want to play in an area in which they are accepted and respected not just for what the accomplish on the field, but for who they are as human beings. The Pegulas made a good move here. It was a solid football and human decision to post that message. Sorry. It’s fine to support helping the black community but NOT supporting an organization who has anti-social goals in their mission statement. Whatever pandering the Bills are trying to gain is going to be counter-balanced by the backlash of people who have researched the BLM platform and deplore it. Just look at this thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come you assume that saying "Black Lives Matter" is equivalent to support for a website that (to my knowledge) was started after the phrase became part of modern lexicon? In other words, what if the Bills simply support the point that the lives of black people matter? And what if that "pandering" is good for the football and business sides of the organization? Would your principles be compromised by supporting that position? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made it clear that it's actually you with the anti-social goals since you believe certain groups of people don't qualify as "family". How does denying their idea of a family make yours stronger?
