Re: Backlash from Michael Thomas, among others, forces Drew Brees to clarify comments
Watching people who should be allies attack each other makes me sad.
Knowing the strings are being pulled by a very few, with no vested interest in our well-being makes me angry. Seeing the blind rage form based on "red team" v "blue team" makes me lose hope. It's time to stop letting other dictate our future. |

These guys are professionals. Y'all are acting like they are children. They are grown up.

You can't spin this one - it was a schitt move on Jenkins' part who was supposedly brought in to show the younger players how to handle themselves... |

Re: Backlash from Michael Thomas, among others, forces Drew Brees to clarify comments
Here's the thing. Anytime I see a policeman they are dealing with people who refuse to cooperate with the polices instructions. This leads to escalation and that never ends well. Sometimes these policemen are black and sometimes they are white. The problem is blacks seem to communicate better with blacks than white officers. I think a factor to consider is that black people are taught to fear policemen, which leads to distrust which leads to lack of cooperation, which leads to escalation, which leads to a volatile situation.
Also, let's not forget that white men shot by a black man get little to no attention. Personally, I believe that is unfair and highly prejudicial. I don't see color. I never have and I never will. Do the police need better training? Obviously. Do black people need to be more cooperative? It might just stop a lot of deaths. I am talking about the majority of the people that the police encounter and not your average polite citizen. Disclaimer. When I say black or white I'm talking about the people that the police encounter on a daily basis. Not your polite citizen of any color. ![]() |

Why would you worry if your killing hundreds of yourselves in each major city in America each year and the countless children hit by stray bullets.![]()
I often say to my wife when I look at the pure innocence that is my son, all kids start this way, what the hell happens. We need after school programs and rec centers for all kids to keep them off the streets. We need to alter the how education is funded from a local lever to a state level so the disparity in education ends. Lastly, we need to alter the thinking around protective sex, self respect, and value of family. It will take years to see dividends but it will pay off The problem we run into as a society is that white people and black people ****ing love to steal tax payer money. So everytime we fund programs the money doesn't get used efficiently or for the purpose intended. We need massive oversight and transparency or change is never going to come. Thats my two cents and I'm sticking with it |
Your team stinks
