I live in the south pacific and observe the entire OECD engaged in the same grift, only because most people are wasting their time trying to win a pre conceived argument, instead of beng correct.

Try to be correct, winning an argument is not the same thing.

You seem like a confused individual.

THIS veteran and many others I know, fully support the First Amendment. Sometimes it hurts to see a flag burned or destroyed during a protest, or refusing to participate in the celebration of the nation, that's the entire point though. Which is exactly why the First Amendment is so important and valued.

This means we supported Mr, Kaepernick. He also happens to be correct. Institutionalized racism still exists.

That nonsense needs to stop.

With all do respect, should I salute? PM me 

 We all know you have the right to burn our flag and I have the right to kick your proverbial ass.

Likes,my targets today, tally ho. LOL  Mostly, because mine come from the Czech Republic and think it says alot about the zeitgeist of the nation. 

 RBG is now my Anti-Woke Conrad, what bedfellows we make.Perhaps you should reevaluate her comments, and why the knee was so toxic, there's always a time and a place. Not the one moment that unites all opposing view. Like a prayer, you can do that shit before or after.

Your argument is like skin color, surface deep, mear talking point.Let's cut deep into that flesh.

The term "Anti" as language was chosen in anti woke,it's a trick in that it assumes nothing positive can come from an Anti. a proverbial gotcha. Simerly, my prasona can put some in a fatty disadvantage. 

Indeed, Institutional Racism was an ugly part of our past.If you find it today, put your finger on it, you can rest assure I'll be by your side to fight it. Asians colleges admissions seem to be a clear demonstration of just that "Nonsense".

It came from people who identify themselves that way.  They may now regret that - but that's on them.

Sure.  Here are a few examples:

In 2016, a study analyzed 4.5 million traffic stops in 100 North Carolina cities.  The conclusion was that police were "more likely to search Black and Latinx motorists, using a lower threshold of suspicion, than when they stop white or Asian drivers."

Also in North Carolina, a report found that in 2021, racial bias was “deeply entrenched” withi North Carolina police departments.  Thus it is not much surprise that blacks are twice as likely to be killed by police in North Carolina.

In 2004 Neil Degrasse Tyson wrote about the experiences of other black physicists, who had almost universally experience unexplained traffic stops and police visits.  Notable since PhD-level physicists tend to not be criminals, so something else must have caused them to be targeted.  He also recounted a time when he was stopped several times by police for bringing books INTO his new office on campus.

A study in 2003 confirmed that "black-sounding" names on resumes resulted in 50% fewer interviews when those resumes were sent to help-wanted ads - even if the resumes themselves were exactly the same.

A study in 2020 correlated unconscious pro-white/anti-black bias in teachers and success rates for black students in the schools they taught at.  There was a strong correlation between anti-black bias and worse results for black students at specific schools.

And again, it is very likely that none of those police, teachers or recruiters consider themselves racist, or even are racist in any objective sense.  It is the structural racism surronding them that is causing the disparity.

Hi Mark,

The Army got rid of the Golden Knights comp teams because they concluded that they did not increase recruiting enough for the money spent.

IMO we should do the same for those military flyovers at sporting events.

Jerry Baumchen

Absolutely. We aren't Russia and we don't need May Day Parades. Militarizing our society, or even lionizing our military, isn't the best way to show respect for our veterans. The best way is to do whatever we can, at whatever expense, to ease them back into the society they served to protect.

It's been a minute since I've seen the "useful idiot video",thanks. I've made reference  before but didn't think anyone had gotten it,oblious some still won't.Thank goodness for them,I find them nothing more than entertaining on how far their psychosis can extend.

CK is a victim a modern day Rosa Parks, this shit is hilarious.We should assume Oprah is oppressed and Meghan the duchess a victim too.I Don't blame just wish they would wake up. It's simplistic single stage thinking,and they want to be on the side of the angles, anyone who would oppose is obvious the opposite.Cultural marxism precondition is dependent on decent people to just shut up or stand on the sidelines,besides.Who would tolerate the abuse of angles, being labeled censored and excommunicated.

"Actually, no, you don't."

My mistake. I meant figuratively,I mean no harm.But thanks for not putting that on my never forgiven/forgotten permanent record,LOL.  I do have a right to spend a couple days in jail, seems that's what it takes to get an Amen around here.

"It came from people who identify themselves that way"

Isn't that kinda self defeating, besides I don't think the rights coming up with new words.The exact opposite of Orwell's ideas, but to the same ends. 

"Congratulations on your support of Critical Race Theory!" 

Thank you there is nothing more principled than the approval of others.Unfortunately It's just American history, but then of course there would be no political power and bureaucracy, in a race neutral society of the future.

The HR faculty at Harvard alone is about the same size as the student body,they could fire them all, hire maids and butlers for the students as replacements, reduce tuition and of course the students would all be happier too.

"n 2016, a study analyzed 4.5 million traffic stops in 100 North Carolina cities.  The conclusion was that police were "more likely to search Black and Latinx motorists, using a lower threshold of suspicion, than when they stop white or Asian drivers." 

See all you need to know,that confirms your bias. I'm sure it did the same for those paid to support the narrative, I mean study.

Why were they stopped in the first place. Were all the police bigots Brown and Black alike?

I think your first problem was listening to the All Mighty NTD like CK he's another nut job victim of our systemically racist nation. As for a 20 yr old study of names, 20yrs is a stretch.

Confirmation bias confirms your deepest suspicions.Pareto be damn.

According to the professor if your half white, half black, "your black that's how that works" lol.In a constellation of holistic approach. Can a black man blush? Only when some ideas are so stupid, only an intellectual can believe them.

Sort of.  It's more accurately a subset of American history.

Quote

?? There are about 2400 faculty TOTAL at Harvard including HR.  There are about 7000 students there during the semester.  I think you missed a few decimal places.

And I don't agree with the whole "if I don't like what they do they are unneccesary."  With that attitude you get "defund the police" from the left and "eliminate the IRS" from the right, both of which are brain-dead memes rather than any sort of actual plan.

Quote

See all you need to know,that confirms your bias. I'm sure it did the same for those paid to support the narrative, I mean study.

Sounds like you are rejecting this study (and the dozens like it) because they disagree with your political agenda.  That is a poor approach IMO.

Quote

Why were they stopped in the first place.

In the words of Neil Degrasse Tyson: "We were guilty not of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) but of other violations none of us knew were on the books: DWB (Driving While Black), WWB (Walking While Black), and of course, JBB (Just Being Black).”

Quote

Were all the police bigots Brown and Black alike?

Sounds like you don't understand structural racism at all.

Structural racism in policing does not occur because the police are racist (although a few surely are.)  Structural racism means that the SYSTEM guarantees racist outcomes.  It's how a black mortgage officer can 'redline' a prospective black applicant even if they have no racist feelings towards the people involved.

Quote

I think your first problem was listening to the All Mighty NTD

And your opinion as a white guy who doesn't understand structural racism is more valid than a black physicist who lived it?

Let me guess - Rosa Parks was a common thug who deserved a jail cell, too.

That is unlawful today,and you know it.

But you'll continue to force those same people into failing schools. That's the structure.

Subconscious bias is what your calling structural racism and the structure  "SYSTEM" guarantee racist outcomes, got it.I suppose individual choice is of no consequence,just the racist outcomes.That sure takes a mental gymnastics lesson. Enjoy your workout.

Oh no -- she was a hero! Of course, like all other heroes of the left, she was a long time ago (nearly 70 years now), and she's dead now, and the issue was settled.

Yes, over the screaming of bigots, but most of those guys are dead too, so they are nothing like anyone i know!!!

Kaepernick and others who are on a knee, I want them to listen to the pain that that may cause somebody who for example had a spouse or a child who was killed in combat and why it hurts them to see somebody not standing.

Since you’ve obviously copied that from a different conversation between different people you should know that I have no idea who Ruth is.

Anyway, why should it cause her pain? As terrible as it is to lose a son or daughter, how does it give her the right to demand that everyone in the entire country behaves a certain way? 

Is cultural Marxism a good thing now, since both you and Ruth are demanding that all football players quite literally shut up and stand on the sidelines?

Well, they can take comfort in their fearless leader, Trump, who prefers soldiers who don't get killed.

Then they can wonder how Kaepernick not speaking out would feel to all those countless of sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who are mourning for those who were needlessly murdered by police and are hurt by the herofication of law enforcement.
