    I want to see how the media would react to a white guy kneeling for the Black National Anthem. I could imagine the balanced and nuanced takes that would exist, and see how they really feel about kneeling for the anthem. Their mask would get ripped off for what it is. 

    abso*****inglutely!

    I love what they produced, personally. 
     

    A friend of mine, who is black, way back in middle school (he was on the urban-suburban program) told me to watch a store manager watch him when we entered the CVS. Me, of course, being white, said, “You’re crazy!”  
     

    It happened. The manager followed him like white on rice AND called a police officer in. That’s when I was introduced to institutional racism...although I didn’t call it that then.

     

    My stories go on and on but I know this: if your mind is what is generally considered the ‘extreme’ end (either right or left), chances are you’re wrong. 
     

    If one follows the most fundamental of teachings, in my opinion, one should recognize that hatred for the sake of hatred has no place in this world. Love, compassion and empathy does. 
     

    I’m not one to write long diatribes here, but this is important to every American. If all of us open our hearts and minds, we will ALL be better off. 

    did that particular store/city have a history of being shoplifted?by POC?  that's an important equasion in this matter. 50% of all crime is committed by 13% of this nations population. these are facts. can you understand why some folks might think negatively about other folks? I can go on all day....

    The 40 hour work week/overtime, medicare, medicaid, minimum wage, social security - these are all socialistic programs.

     

    Every country is somewhere on the continuum between pure socialism and pure capitalism.    The Nordic Model of socialism - which leans more to the left than we do in the U.S. - produces countries/economies that seem to do well.  Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Sweden all score highly, for example, in the World Happiness Report.  

     

    I'm certainly not advocating socialism - merely pointing out a few things.  

     

    Oh, and I think it's great the Bills are giving a platform for their players to speak out on social justice.  

    crock of *****. you want to know why America has the 40 hour work week? because the rest of the "civilized" world has a 35 hour work week. we believe in harder work=better life. we built our lives upon that notion. Socialism only allows you to be slightly better. Capitalism allows you to shoot for the moon. World Happiness Report? sure. cocaine and hookers baby!!

    Neither. It’s simply freedom to choose. 
     

    What amendment is being relinquished? And to whom is it being relinquished? Who is this “they” you refer to?

     

    I’m sure Mayfield appreciates your support. 

    that was well said. the amendment I refered to was exactly the 1st. Just wanted to point out what you'll see, and who gets canceled, for thinking freely.  "they" obviously refers to mob mentallity. Curious to see if/when he gets cancelled. Will it be immediate? either within his own organization, or on a national stage? Or will it be after he fails to entertain his fans? Just a thought....

    for the record, I never said I supported him. I said I respect him. dont put words in my mouth!

    There is so much research on this stuff I think you are crazy if you don't believe it. But whether you believe it or not you have to respect that the players see it as a real issue and they want to drive change. I just think it is crazy a simple video like this gets people up in arms.

    I'll be honest. I haven't watched it. and I won't. Good on them as teammates and as brothers. But if there is as much research as you claim, why does it only come around every election cycle? It's 1000% hogwash. I've been beaten for having my skin color in the past. No other reason. wrong street, wrong time of day. It is NOT systemic.It's pathetic, brainwashed, self entitled brats who think their ancestors were done wrong and see an opportunity. well, get in line. Every culture has been done wrong by another throughout history. No where in the world do POC have it better than today in the USA. Therefore, it's a myth. it's indoctrination. And only serves the masters that the false flag happens to benefit at any given time. And until THAT fact is accepted, it will never get better for anyone in this entire world.  THAT'S fact

    The most recent poll I found is from NPR showing 53% support to 34% oppose and 9% don't know/don't care. That is a decline but still a clear majority. My larger point is that people conflate the organization with the movement. I doubt most Americans even know there is an organization with that name. What it really comes down to is that most Americans believe there is still racial inequality in America. Trying to dismiss BLM as "marxist" is just nonsense. 53% of Americans are not marxists.

    nor are they racist. there is NO systemic racism OR systemic police brutality in this nation, and certainly not directed towards one group of people compared to all the others. My point is this- does bad ***** happen? yup

    does it happen to all peoples? yup

    And for all these enormously wealthy companies, and leagues, to force a rhetoric down the nation's throat is wrong. I will stand for ALL my neighbors if they are innocent. But if you tell me all flying kangaroos need to be eliminated because 3% of them eat pink zebras and its an outrage...I'm calling that nonsense out.

    *disclaimer....no offense intended towards the decent flying kangaroos or pink zebras out there. BLM I do not believe to be marxist...Antifa, yes

    Count me in this group. I did not know there was a BLM organization until recently. Somewhere between 63% and 67% of Americans support BLM depending on which poll you look at and I would wager the large majority of that group are not talking about that organization that happens to use that name.

    You are speaking of June's polls. look again as of end of August. Support nationally has gone down from 61% to 48%. Kinda funny how that happens when BLM "protests" murder innocent black men and burn down innocent black owned businesses. That right there is enough for many to #walkaway

    Funny how they never mention that.

    they never will. It don't fit their narrative and they have no social justice talking points to back up their BS. If you're gonna call out bs, call it out on both sides and discuss it so we can move forward. instead of assuming to know the hearts of 200+ million Americans
