I love how these 'debates' are exposing left over issues in America. I always told people, we changed laws, but didn't change minds in this nation. Lots of the same people who Hated Negroes in 1965 still hate Negroes today; and are hanging on for dear life; and all had Kids who they've raised; and grandkids who they've taught their hate for blacks to.
all these racist son's of b*tches had kids
Meanwhile they 'constantly tell us' that it's not all white people (as if we don't already know that) - when fact is, the FEW good white people WE all know, already like black people, are around us; support us; marry us; date us; befriend us; While the rest of white america continues to treat us like they always have; and these mf's think We don't know the difference;
For years I told people racism was still our BIGGEST Issue; Glad Obama got elected; all the Klan white folks in this nation been showing their ass every since; The L.A. Riots that happened after Rodney King got beat; and the Police got OFF - is STILL happening in 2017; as we just saw a man in Utah get gunned down by Police; when the police 'could' have fired a Warning shot; or an Injury shot; like they do with .... White people.
That's why these players are kneeling; b/c something must change about how This Nation treats black people; all these white people around the nation who keep changing the narrative to something else; avoiding a discussion on Police and Legal system reform; are telling us who they are - They are lost souls; and no amount of talking will turn them around; but I'm glad they're telling me who is who right now; Now we know for sure, that we live in a nation full of Evil Demonic Beasts who care nothing for their Fellow Human Beings in this nation; They deserve whatever comes to their doorsteps; while those they persecute will See Justice;

D.L. Hughley on Jerry Jones
NFL Hall of Famer Responds to Jerry Jones
All of this is in response to the President of the United States 'making this' a big deal. It's all because they are so upset about black players speaking out about Injustice to black people. The President spent $250k of Tax Payer money to send the Vice President to the game, to PROTEST .... over players protesting.
Seemingly NFL Owners, Jerry Jones included, have decided that since the President said jump, they gotta make sure they are jumping high enough. It's sickening to watch people 'with power' grovel at the feet of others. Yet that is how I See it, and in so many ways it's how this 'system' of White supremacy has remained in tact.
There Are Levels To Their Game; To their System; and the President sits on a Higher Level than an NFL Owner
You see, the Klan has had Klan generations, but continue to respect order. They have Grand Dragons, and people who 'rank' within their Organizations. They're connected with even higher levels of 'organized' secret societies. All with ranks, and their members all willing to 'fall in line' ....
Yes, yes, yes. Have you seen the rash of abuse of poc in schools over the last week? Of course it happens all the time, but things are heating up. A TA yanked a little girl, looked 7 or 8 tops, out of her seat for not standing for the pledge. Now, I'll say I can't abide people laying their hands on children. It makes me fucking ill, but the comments from the parents afterward were dumbfounding. I was absolutely floored. The few white allies there are, we are failing miserably at calling out and educating the rest. Some are hopeless, but we at least need to do better with the kids. It would help if there weren't so many racist teachers.

The one thing I used to always hate about school, were my racist teachers --- because I was always outspoken about things, even while I was in high school. I didn't really notice it much in Elementary, but I was always disciplined alot more than other kids were - and was one of maybe 5 black kids in my class in the school I attended. The high school I went to was also predominantly white; but had a decent mixture of Asian, Hispanic, and a few others - to where we all kinda balanced things out.
But, there were still several teachers who were known for giving out detention more than other teachers were; lots of 'mean' teachers who I always felt were more lenient on the white students than the non-white ones; it's why I'm thankful for this climate; because for so long I couldn't really 'prove' that. The Narrative that racism is over, and no one thinks that way anymore, was too strong while I was coming up.
Now, we know for sure that differential treatment takes place; especially in our schools. I have not seen 'all' of the videos or news stories; been hecka busy :) ::: But am aware of a few incidents where athletes have been punished for taking knees; which is actually a violation of their Civil Rights;
Change is never Comfortable though ....

My son went to a middle school that was more than 90% black, and he still noticed that black children were disciplined more consistently and more seriously. He's 19 now and a very powerful ally. It was during this time that Trayvon was murdered, and that combined with his own experience was such a powerful wake up call. I don't want to center myself, but I'll say that I did feel so frustrated with myself that I did not realize how bad it really was. It was always happening. It just wasn't being video taped. Not that the videos made a difference in justice, but it sure raised my awareness. I, too, am grateful for the climate for this awareness. People are waking, but it's still unacceptably slow. White people need to get over the discomfort and over the denial and justification.
