To be clear, the comparison is silly, not (necessarily) you.

You cray cray.

You are correct it is not a paramilitary group today. But you cannot characterize the Klan without acknowledging its history and the meaning that history has to African-Americans. And I don't agree that "BLM is very similar to the Klan as it exists today." Sure, both are militant-like groups specializing in the Politics of Grievance and recruiting morons and bigots from the dregs of society. That is about where the comparisons begin and end.

Better re-check the tinfoil on your hat bud.

Militant, maybe. But that's not at all the same thing as paramilitary. I am by no means defending BLM, but comparing it to the KKK is just silly.

I can't even begin to go through it here but you need to hit the history books. The KKK essentially functioned as a paramilitary group whose mission was to keep blacks subjugated even after the repeal of Jim Crow laws, through violence (including lynchings) and intimidation. They have been around for decades and their ethos goes far beyond "white victimhood" - they did what the authorities could not legally do (and in fact, the hoods were useful in concealing the identities of many policemen, politicians and civic leaders). Comparing the KKK to BLM is utterly ludicrous and reflects a less than rudimentary understanding of American history.

Immature behavior is all over the place in society nowadays. OBJ and POTUS and many others act out like toddlers on a regular basis. Honestly it's just embarrassing.

That's ridiculous.

A shockingly low amount of brain power went into that post. It could've been written by a sea cucumber.

Man, White was balling all game - he was in Sanders' pocket. And also the communication between the LBs, CBs and safeties has been really impressive - pretty solid transition into a new defense and it's only week 3.

Can we protest these threads? You cant see me but Im kneeling. Or maybe, Im typing with my knuckles. Enough!

Hes playing his way up to being poached by the Patriots!

Inequality is the bogeyman now?

I feel like Im Brad Pitt talking to Kevin Spacey in the car at the end of Seven. You know youre totally insane, right?

"Racism" is by definition institutional. I never understood the term "racist" - nearly everyone who isn't blind has racial biases along with all kinds of other biases required in order to make quick judgments for modern life - it's a survival instinct. There are individual bigots; only institutions can be racist. IMO.

Note to Rob's House: I am not a leftist. I am strongly anti-regulation and anti-union, among many other non-leftist views. I am culturally liberal, fiscally quite conservative. I have some uncharacterizable views, for example I believe in open borders with little to no government services, etc. (You, by contrast, are basically an admitted homophobe, among other bigoted viewpoints.) Anyhow - the issue of police shootings is less about the police departments and more about the juries who acquit the offending officers...

HAVE to disrupt their rhythm. If Ryan starts playing pitch and catch with his WRs it'll be a long day.

If Tyrod had thrown a pass with the game on the line like the one Siemian threw that was picked off by White, it would be bedlam around here. That was a terrible, awful, stupid, true freshman type of pass.

Rex and Rob did not see it coming.

What's the status of Gaines' injury?

I'm in awe of it.

Oh please dude. If this were a different-themed post you'd be calling him a snowflake.

LEGENDARY post

He is fighting the ball with his hands. And seems to panic and lose confidence each time he gets an opportunity and bungles it. They need to work some easy throws into the game plan in early downs next week or he could keep sliding.

Here I am. Can I have some Franks please?
