  1. I'm enjoying his work as well.
  2. Holmes!!!! What a fantastic job by Tyrod there.
  3. Playcalling has been tremendous so far.
  4. The NFL seems to be focusing on OPI this year.
  5. When you need 3 yards, Mike Tolbert will get you 3 yards. When you need 4 yards, Mike Tolbert will still get you 3 yards.
  6. I think Shady is going to have a big day.
  7. Black males commit a scandalous and disproportionate amount of crime. You're making statements about a lack of equality in outcome and attributing a lack of equity, which in reality doesn't exist. As an example, New York City's "Stop and Frisk" program actually under sampled blacks based on crime data.
  8. Simply having an opinion does not mean it is meritorious. People who are wishing to ascribe racist intent to an easily recognized phrase (slightly mangled), that has colloquial meaning with no racist intent, are asking everyone else to disregard common understanding and to indulge their special pleading (a logical fallacy) need to make a compelling and fact based case, beyond their feelings, that this was racist. The reason we are the way we are today is because we indulge people who pull **** like this without scrutinizing their accusations.
  9. Across racial lines approximately 80% of all individuals who make three decisions in their lives actually ascend to the middle class: don't have kids out of wedlock, make sure to graduate from high school, and get and keep any job. Only 2% of all people who do all of those things don't escape poverty. Data from the Brookings Institute, a left leaning think tank.
  10. That's what the act of kneeling to protest systemic racial inequality is.
  11. Part of the problem is that someone exercised their political rights? If people really believe this way, then it's time to just divide the country in half, because we really aren't going to be able to live together.
  12. No, they aren't getting more mainstream. They are getting less mainstream in a more interconnected world. They're more visible than they've ever been because of modern media and the internet, but there are fewer of them than ever before.
  13. That's a bull **** example as the stated purpose behind the knee taking was "systemic racial inequality" which is nothing more than calling everyone who disagrees with them racists. When that's what you lead with, you're a piece of garbage.
  14. The problem is that we are cultivating a culture in which people are being taught that they are victims, and that their problems are due to racism when the truth is that people of all races share the same problems assuming similar socio-economic status. Of course individual racists and racism exist, and always will, but they are outliers in today's America; and that means the default should be to give people the benefit of the doubt. The Texans players didn't do that. They assumed the ugliest, and the worst, and made public accusations of racism which is not a reasonable position to take.
  15. What I honestly believe is that it's wrong to make assumptions about people's motives based on their race. You're saying the equivalent of "Do you honestly believe a young, black male, born in the inner city isn't associated with a gang?" and you think it's an acceptable message. The players feelings aren't relevant to the facts, and what the Texans' owner said wasn't racist, and has a colloquial understanding. The players are being dumb, and are the problem in this scenario.
  16. People looking to be offended by racism took something innocuous and found racism in it. As Jauronimo once said here, when the only tool you have is a shotgun, every problem looks like a tranny. People finding offense in the innocuous is the problem, the people producing the innocuous are not.
  17. This is itself a racist statement, and it's ugly. You're looking for racism where none exists, and in the process have judged a racial group based on your preconceived biases, and it's inexcusable. When people behave as you are, you don't capitulate, you tell them to !@#$ off, because people who make unfounded charges of racism are !@#$s, and are the entire problem with race relations in this country right now.
  18. You lucky bastard. Can anyone trouble shoot this for me and tell me how I can get them to not play for me also?
