It's about time someone makes a stand, unlike what Melo and Dwade did. I'm even prouder of Kaep, considering he doesn't have a guaranteed contract and his standing with the team.
The same people with the fake crocodile tears over Muhammad Ali and who bash our commander in chief are now outraged. Yet, they see no problem with our rights guaranteed by the constitution being violated and feel we deserve it. Their intelligence is lacking anyway.
I rode beside a truck this morning that had a confederate flag on his car beside a american flag. But he probably thinks he's a patriot and doesn't see the hypocrisy in being proud of the confederate flag.
I hope more players start doing it.
I've been doing it for twenty years.
The confederate flag thing always makes me chuckle. These people will be the first ones to say they want to "protect the constitution" when it comes to so many social issues, yet they fly the flag of a group of people that didn't want to follow it anymore.
To make it more hilarious, they usually also proud to be Republicans, to be members of the party of Lincoln. You know, the leader of the opposing team
These people so loss in the hate sauce they don't even know which way is up.
And add the fact that prior to Kennedy, their beloved Republicans were the party that many black people voted and 9/10 their great grand pappy voted Democrat as were most of the people in the south.
Ignorance is very dangerous, funny, but dangerous
Yeah funny but dangerous.
It is sad and infuriating that so many (not all I know) middle, lower middle, lower and poor whites are always so opposed to any social change the black community push for.
Also everything the black community wants would also greatly benefit lower class whites. Blacks might get disproportional helped, but poor whites would benefit more in magnitude.
Lower class whites would benefit from a truly fair criminal justice system, they would benefit from illegal guns being controlled, they would benefit from a jobs programs, they would benefit from a better health care industry, to better schools, to a more progressive tax system, to change to rehabilitation as opposed to punishment when it comes to drug users.
Solving every major socioeconomic problem that hurt black people the most, would also help poor white communities a great deal. And these bigoted ones want all those things too, but god forbid "the blacks" get it too, and extra god forbid that ****** Obama is the one that gives it to them.
Loving your country means wanting to make it better, to progress forward. Not trying to send it back to a time that never really existed, to "Make it Great Again"
That's why I always tell folk that black people fighting for justice are some of the most American loving Patriots outchea.
When you love something you want better for it, demand it become something better. You don't constant remind them of how great they used to be, and try to make sure it never betters itself.
White Supremacy is like America's oxy habit. Black folk want it to go to rehab, and bigots think it is best it goes back on heroin (you know the good stuff, the strong stuff)
I never knew about that tired verse. There's a mall here where I live at names after this man :x Baseball team named from his last name :x
