Kneeling for the anthem to support BLM just ended my MLB watching forever. Fuck the NATS.
Who was kneeling?
I disagree with the whole kneeling concept in general. I have no problem with folks expressing their free speech, but How does kneeling - disrespecting our flag and our nation support BLM? It's not even a good argument. I'm kneeling to show that by disrespecting the symbol of our freedom.....that I can have freedom of speech? Huh? And why should BLM more than ALM or PLM or LBGQTPed LM for that matter. I mean why should any color or creed or gender (there are 2, by the way) matter more than any other?
And you don't have to tell us BLM. We know they matter. What would the entire criminal justice system do with all the spare time? What would the prisons do if there were no more Black lives? All the guards would have to learn Spanish.
I might be naive, but I believe that if you are a law abiding citizen and do NOT resist arrest, that you will never suffer police brutality. If you are on the wrong side of the law...it is NOT the law or officer's fault if you are engaged in criminal activity.
Now I'm not saying mistakes are not made, but I'm saying....don't be a criminal, and the law won't be against you.
And protest and have freedom to speak your mind all you want...but the minute you start breaking laws and destroying property or endangering others....you SHOULD no longer be free...you are criminal, and you should be arrested and prosecuted. Freedom of speech is not a justification for criminal behavior. And disagreeing with each other is not a justification for violence.
If I didn't have kids...or a job...or a wife or responsibilities to others, .I'd go march with my shirt: "BLACK LIVES MATTER...
almost as much"
Now I'm just being a trouble maker....but it's funny...if you allow it to be. I'm not racist....I just have an inappropriate sense of humor, and it's tired of being caged by today's political correctness.
I can't wait till the NHL starts this kneeling shit. now THAT's going to piss me off and would be the epitome of hypocrisy. What are there like 15-20 black players total in the NHL (currently). And maybe a total of Five from the US? I really have no idea - I can only think of a few, and I don't really know where they are from. And I'll bet most of the younger "black" players are actually bi-racial.
No idea how to research it, but I'm curious as to how many U.S. born "African-American" current NHL players there are.
And to further the evidence to my non-PC wise cracks.... Technically, isn't it more accurate to say American-African....since we are talking about American citizens, not African ones?
And....DO we refer to the British born black persons as "African-Brits"? Should we now start referring to black persons ACTUALLY from Africa as African-Africans? And what do we call white people actually from Africa? I guess we just call them African? Oh...wait....we just call them Racist-Africans.
Okay, I'm done, but this IS the boredom thread so....lighten up lefties
