What if a white person said it?

One of the liberal commandments is that black people cannot be considered racist. I do agree that Colin Kaepernick is an obvious lying sack of shit of claiming he was oppressed and a victim of discrimination growing up. He was tall and very athletic at a young age, those kind of kids are treated as heroes in school, not picked on.

Really?

Black people have been treated like **** since forever and now you’ll gonna hang your hat on equality and fairness?

These folks deserve a break every day and every way. Give it to them and move on. It’s not going to cost you anything but your pride.

Does this include self-flagellation?

How far should we go to pay for the sins of our ancient fathers?

PS...how come the Jews...some of the most oppressed people on earth for centuries...how did they manage to continue on and not only survive, but thrive in places like the USA?

Take a look at the median household incomes in the USA. You won't find a whole lotta groups higher than Jewish households...

not an excuse, but black people came directly here from jungles in Africa, while Jewish people came from structured environments in Europe and Russia, and the move to other parts of the world was an easier adjustment, plus in the recent 150 years, jews got here as immigrants while blacks came here as slaves not by choice. admittedly not a great excuse.

Oh, and if you want to bring up skin color as the reason....the highest household median income in the USA belongs to Indian Americans.

When does it end? How long do we have to keep paying for our ancestor's sins?

Great idea, let's give them all a handful of get out of jail free cards, for atrocities our ancestors committed. Let them all burn down the city when they get upset with no repercussions. Sorry, but that does cost something.



My example for saying being woke is BS is Asians, they were discriminated against all the way back to being used for dangerous low paid hard labor to build the railroads. Put in camps during WW2, and how many Asian kids get picked on due to being of smaller stature than most other kids. They exceed white people in education, earning, and staying out of jail. Good example was the High School I went to, middle of the road in academic competitions, well above average athletically, 50's through 70's. After the Vietnam war Asians from various countries started populating the surrounding neighborhoods. The football team is always a bottom feeder now, but the school wins academic competitions on a regular basis.

My ancestors were American Indians who fought (and died) in the Civil War on behalf of the north to end slavery. What exactly do I owe the black man? Does the black man owe me something? My ancestors got his ass out of chains. There's gotta be a reward for that I would think.

Could that have anything to do with the special treatment (e.g. treaties) the native Americans have with the government? And how tribal law on the reservations require that the "chieftans" share the gambling revenue equally among tribal members?

The average Native American on a reservation lives a lower middle class lifestyle, the bounty from casinos and leasing land is obviously not equally shared.

Did I say that?

My comment was about the posted video and a general feeling of unfairness among whites that blacks get a pass when making racist statements and using the N word. Yeah, mostly they do. So what? There are a whole lot of issues way more important.

Move on.
