:rolleyes:

In the effort of complete neutrality, J has a point though. There is a double standard being developed.

Jemele Hill called a boxing match racist because a white man knocked out a black man. Likely being a troll, but she still said on it Live TV, that again is someone trying to cause a rift between humanity - nothing happened.

Brees said that he respects the flag because it reminds him of everything his grandfather fought for and he doesn't like when people disrespect it. Granted he probably misinterpreted the question and didn't answer amazingly, however only 1 of the examples I mentioned above was said with intent to cause divisive arguments. And it damn sure wasn't Brees.

Yet in that instant, a ton of people forgot about everything good Brees had ever done, and flamed him. I'm not talking about whole cultures either, because from what I heard, Demario Davis had enough about him to reach out to Brees quietly. Whereas MJ and MT went straight to the media.

Yes. The fact is that we are all basically humans with our own problems and how they affect us and how we react to them differs greatly.

Like Guido said, there was a vast difference in cultural interpretation of the protests just like there’s a vast difference in the cultural interpretation of the country. At this point, who doesn’t have family that fought for this country? Only difference is my family came home to Jim Crow and other forms of discrimination. If the truth is divisive then we’re just gonna have to be divided. I won’t lie to keep the peace. 🤷🏽*♂️

Ha! Guido! I'd "like" your response about "the toilet of Idaho" dig, but I blocked you a long time ago. Not that it matters much, you argue with most on this board that they constantly quote your responses in replies to you. So I see most of them anyway. Lol.

You are quite unaware, my friend. Keeping your head buried in the sand perpetrates that situation.

There is nothing wrong with being patriotic and having love for flag, anthem, country and service members. And it has nothing to do with culture.

I honestly don’t mind if you stand with your culture. It doesn’t bother me at all. I’m here to compete and help get my community out of their situations. As long as you aren’t impeding me from doing that I ain’t got no beef.

I get it. There’s some double standards that benefit or hurt each and every demographic. Black women and LGBTQ people are calling Black men the “White men of Black people” and slandering us every chance they get. Everybody is under fire right now. It’s the world we live in now. Nobody is safe.

And MJ was brought back because of leadership; not much of a leader to take it to social media than going see a teammate face to face...

She can't offer anything constructive, just sensationalism - she's just another Howard Stern - say anything outrageous just to stay in the public discourse...
