NFL players kneeling during National Anthem

[Gelston]

I too shall sue the NFL for not allowing me to play.

I wonder how people who are really oppressed feel about shit like this. Like talking to some guy living in poverty in India or something.

Indian Guy: We have no access to a toilet so we have to literally shit at the beach with hundreds of other people. We don't know when our next meal is going to be, or even if we're going to eat. Our government largely ignores crimes committed against us because we are "untouchables." We don't have a decent education. We are dying out here.

Colin Kaepernick: You think you have it rough, I'm a black man living in the US and can't even get a job earning millions of dollars a year.

Colin Kaepernick: ... I'm a black man

That's debatable.

[Methais]

I am also a black man.

Oh. Well. How does this apply to racism if we don't know who was shooting who?

We know that police caused the deaths in each case, which makes every one relevant to the question of institutional racism,
which is what we were talking about.

Death row inmates before DNA evidence? Good thing we aren't talking about 40 years ago. Perhaps you could engage on the points that have been made instead of using a flashback of 40 years ago. Statistics I used were from 4 years ago.

For starters, truth doesn't die of old age. Saying a truth is old is meaningless.

But I can even put that aside, and you'll still be wrong, because this happened less than twenty years ago... in the year 2000.

I didn't engage with the points you made in a way you liked. That's not the same as not engaging with them.

You haven't addressed the csv I linked to in any way. That's what not engaging looks like.

Happy to help.

You remind me so much of my cousin. When it becomes painfully obvious he doesn't know what he's talking about he just starts making up shit on the spot too in an effort to sound smart. Next you gotta start laughing hysterically at everything the other person says and dismissing everything they say in an effort to make yourself seem superior to them.

Funny, that's just how you act too.

Okay, time4pk.

Gosh, I never thought the day would come I would miss time4fun. Sure she had some fucked up ideas and beliefs, but at least she had her convictions. Her replacement just swings from one end of the spectrum to the next depending on who he's talking to. Like some sort of strange political chameleon.

A truth doesn't die of old age huh? That's the biggest load of bullshit. So everyone is just as racist as the slave owners in the south from before the civil war? The world is flat? Attitudes change, new facts are learned, etc.

You didn't engage my points at all. While the removal of the death penalty might have happened in 2000 those convictions are from long before that. You are arguing something I am not, fyi this is the definition of a straw man.

Latrin: Here is proof they realized some sentences may have been wrong almost 20 years ago from convictions way before then, but that proves institutional racism is alive TODAY.

Me:

I'm not arguing that racism never existed, just that it isn't widespread today like you seem to think it is.

What link? Now I have to search through your posts to find it. Thanks Obama.

See what I mean?
