To the moderators, I appreciate you letting us hash things out without fear of being suspended or worse, being banned. This discussion is the most complicated topic to tackle since we've all had positive and negative experiences with members of other races regardless of our locations on this planet. It's mostly healthy to speak about this and hopefully gain perspective so that we all can attempt to empathize with our fellow Americans and people of all nationalities.

To my friends and fellow members, please try to at the very least sympathize with other people's walks in life. To be prejudiced against a person because of the color of their skin or other differences they have from you is just silly. Black, white or otherwise. I've learned that there are great people from every race and there are terrible people from every race. To assume what a person is like based on their appearance is ignorant.

Couldn't say it better myself. Every race, every workplace, every group of people, every country, they all have a minority of idiotic people and unfortunately some people see that and automatically think that is true for the entire group.

Uncertain times we are living in, but you can't argue with idiots, you'll never win.

Well yeah bro, we are all the same human animals, same DNA. You can watch videos or read studies and see how kids from all over the planet pretty much have all similar if not identical behaviors.

Amazing the evil we are capable of, and equally as amazing is the acts of love and selflessness we are capable of.

There’s no such thing as black privilege. A black person can get called the N-Word by any other race and it hurts them to the core. A black person can use any disparaging word against any other race and it won’t mean as much because their still looked upon as an N-Word.

Bottom line, are people really comparing Jackson to Brees. Jackson has been a bonehead probably forever. I’d go to war with Brees and trust him with watching my six.

Some of y’all really do forget. Not to dilute what Jackson said or to say it wasn’t as outrageous as Brees. Brees knew what the protest was about to the point he actually kneeled in solidarity with his teammates. At some point he felt it was necessary to show his support for the military men & women by personally attending troops functions. What pissed off teammates and other players is at the point of the movement, when it is crystal clear to the nations that BLM is about police brutality and killing of black Americans, once again he TRIED to change the NARRATIVE to DISRESPECTING THE FLAG. Kneeling at the flag with hand on heart is not disrespectful. I can go back and post pictures where it was look upon as favorable. It’s that it was a protest that is meaningful to black people that some white people detest.

Just wanted you to see the picture

BLM is not about black lives or police brutality. There are many things that they want and one of them is the destruction of western family values, of the nuclear family. They don't want the typical 'ma and pa raising kids' household. If they cared about black lives they wouldbe wanting to strengthen this. The whole black lives and police brutality thing is just a tool they use to get what they want and they use it as a cover.

You stupid

You stupid

BLM started in order to bring awareness to police brutality, everyone can agree on that. It started because black people have been treated as if their lives don’t matter and it was meant to be all inclusive not exclusive of any race. I supported it 100% when it started and I still support that idea.
Over time it got hijacked by groups like Antifa and other anti government political B.S. It has turned into the opposite of what it was supposed to be. Those attachments have done more harm to the black community than good.
I know a lot of conservatives that were starting to understand that BLM did not mean other lives don’t matter until the rioting and defunding the police issues came up. At that point it ceased to be about black lives and became just another front for a political agenda.
