In theory, his protest is about black men being shot by police. I watched an interesting interview this morning that involved, Jason Riley, who is a writer for the Wall Street Journal and who is African American. He said that while the coverage of these shooting has increased dramatically, the statistics show the allegations to be untrue. As an example: In 1971 in New York City, police shot 314 people, 93 of whom died. In 2015, New York City police shot 23 people and 6 of them died. Compare 6 to 93 and or 23 to314 and let me know what kind of "increase" that is. Mr. Riley stated that black men are 70% less likely to be shot than they were in the late 60's. He also stated that a black Harvard Economist named Roland Fryer(spelling?) stated that black suspects are actually LESS likely to be shot than white suspects. If these numbers are accurate ( and I am assuming they are) it suggests that many of us are victims of a left wing media campaign that has been very successful in promoting such a narrative.

New alternative to "grab em"

Do Tobie and Big Girl believe it was work place violence?

And even sadder when those who lost an election continue to cry whine about the results via "protests, russia, yada yada yada. None of which will change anything.

Big Girl and Tobie aren't going to like this!!!!!

So you are now making veiled physical threats, huh Tobie? I know a couple of guys who have been removed from this board for that type of activity. During my lifetime, I have also found out that for every "badarse" out there, there is someone even "badder".

$350 billion? So what? It "proves" how "compassionate" we are.

And what equality will be generated by the NFL players who kneel?

The lefties are very sure that they are right on this issue. Reminds me of about a year ago when they were "sure" on the general election as well. I stated a long time ago that if you carry this progressive social agenda too far too quickly, it will bite you in the a$$ and it appears to me that another "bite" will be taken out of that condescending, dismissive, arrogant collective a$$.

It's the best he has.

He has difficulty whenever he utters something other than "grab um"

I think she got the point. It's just that she is NOT ABOUT to acknowledge it under any circumstance. No doubt all of the black on black killings in Chicago, Baltimore, etc are somehow the fault of someone other than the one who did the killing.

Come on Tobie and BG, tell us what is untrue about this one.

Nope, need to go with the verdict every time. Apparently you didn't see the irony in my post (whether he actually pulled the trigger or not). Do you believe that the political opinions of professional athletes are any more valid/worthy of promoting than yours or mine?

Hey Tobie, did you also know that Bill Clinton had relations with Monica while in office?

But nowadays, a good spanking is looked on very critically by our progressive, "enlightened" society.

Corporations do a good job of running their operations and do not need the input of those that know nothing, zero, nada, zilch about how to operate a business and insure its longevity. The markets determine what corporate executives earn just as it determines what LeBron James and Tom Brady earn. Once again, there is a lot more intelligence in the collective wisdom of the markets than there is in Bernie Sanders, Ellizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton or someone on a message board.

O.J. was also acquitted. If he didn't "pull the trigger" he was obviously involved. [Hidden Content]

Is it just me or did any of you find this somewhat ironic: Picture of Ray Lewis kneeling with his football brethren "protesting the killing of innocent black men" in spite of being guilty of that which he "protests".

Who said anything about surviving.? They are simply earning less than expected and/or versus what they used to earn ( in constant dollars) If my memory is correct, isn't it true that in a free society, if one does not like the wages or benefits offered by an employer, he can simply leave for greener pastures? Or are you one of those who believes an employer "owes" an employee anything he or she ( or, nowadays, it) thinks they "deserve"?

Did you win any money?

He was telling a story and presenting it as this" we beat the Brits even though they had Hirelings and Slaves ( in addition to British soldiers) in the fight. The Brits would be the white folk.

She simply ignores those little tid bits and tells you that it is not the truth.
