Also the few white people that tried those jobs were lazy workers and tried to cheat the quota system.

lmao, the majority of undocumented immigrants enter the us through an official port of entry. most of them are just people overstaying a temporary worker visa or student visa. what's building a wall supposed to do about that?

I keep hearing this too. "Kaepernick, you're not oppressed. You're rich." I didn't see where he ever claimed otherwise. He's using his voice to champion those that are oppressed and aren't rich. I didn't see where he was making it about him or his rather spectacular career nosedive. He worked pretty hard to get where he is. I still think he can play to be honest and wished the Eagles had gotten him but regardless, do his same conservative critics acknowledge his faith and all those Jesus tattoos that turn me off? This feels like the backlash against Ali and the Olympic black power salute all over again to be honest. Thank god his name isn't Colin Mohammed or poo poo would really be on. EDIT: Didn't Tony Stewart loving kill a guy?

FMguru posted:There's a great Russell Brand (!) quote about how when he was poor and complained about things, people said he was just jealous and envious, and now that he's rich and successful and famous and complaining about things people tell him to shut and stop being so ungrateful. There's plenty of time to complain about it when it's screwing over white men. Just look at Trump and how he said how much America sucks. If a Democrat said the stuff he did you'd never hear the end of what a traitor that person was. I'm sure the guy getting a bullshit ticket for going five miles over the speed limit has choice words about the police but if your family is being murdered well that's just the price of a law abiding society. Just look at the Freep thread and see some people that REALLY hate America and Americans or ask why anyone thinks it's appropriate to fly the flag of a defeated faction of people that literally tried to divide the country (let's pretend it's actually the correct flag they say it is).

Be sweet if it came out Kaeperncik was a registered Republican. Honest to god though, why do they play the anthem at sporting events anyway? I've seen "patriotic" rednecks chow hot dogs and nachos, scratch their balls and and chug Busch Light during this "sacred" moment that most everyone can't wait to be over so we can get to the serious matter of giant, drug addled, muscle headed black people smashing their heads into mush. Every time there's a moment of silence to honor the fallen, it's always some rear end in a top hat in a Skynrd t-shirt yelling out some dumb hee-haw poo poo too.

I don't think I've posted in DnD before so forgive me if I'm out of line. I listened to Limbaugh today and he had a woman caller on talking about Trump Rush "what about his tax info?" Lady "I don't care, he isn't a politician" Rush "but if he was a politician? " Lady "if he was a career politician, he absolutely should release the info. He's not though so I don't care." I don't think I've ever come closer to a fist fight with a radio.

Along with all the other reasons Kaepernick obviously has a right to express his free speech Bomani Jones was on MSNBC last night and briefly mentioned how there's some really hosed up implications to the idea that we're obligated to show reverence for the pledge and that it really makes that reverence nothing more than obligation. The whole thing is just people mad at a rich black dude for saying Black Lives Matter.

 Also sad but true. I'll admit I think that Kaepernick is taking the wrong kind of action. I could understand for instance refusing to go to events for the police of the DA. But it is his right to free speech. Crowsbeak fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Aug 30, 2016 |

I was reading the comments some friend of a Facebook friend made on some post of his regarding the whole Kaepernick thing (which was good, the Facebook friend in question has good political opinions), and it was funny watching her struggle to articulate why Kaepernick's actions made her so angry. She kept alternating between words/phrases like "disrespectful" and "uncalled for", but it was pretty obvious that in her heart she wanted to call him "uppity" and just couldn't find the words for it. The best (worst) part is when she said that it was disrespectful because he owed the country that freed his ancestors. I replied saying that it is laughably ridiculous to think black people should thank the country that enslaved them in the first place for freeing them, and she then said "but the people who enslaved him are no longer alive," to which I replied "...neither are the people who freed the slaves. Either you refer to the country as an entity or to specific groups of people, but you can't arbitrarily switch between the two" (because apparently she was incapable of realizing that she directly contradicted herself in the space of two comments). While I think that a white football player would have also experienced a backlash for doing the same thing as Kaepernick, there's something clearly different about the sort of backlash black people get. I think the difference is that, ironically, there's this greater element of "you should be thankful" when black people condemn the country.

Going to reiterate this. I don't care. I don't care either way about this Colin Kaepernick thing. He can do whatever the gently caress he wants. He's not a hero or a villain for doing this. He's just some dumb qb that's a bit of a douche bag. (my opinion). I do care about social and racial justice. But this has been the DUMBEST Hill I've seen people die on. I HATE doing the "TRUTH IS IN THE MIDDLE/BOTH SIDES DO IT" argument. There are times when that is not the case. This time? Yep. Idiots looking for any sort of outrage for some form of validation and for them to seem "noble" in front of people. It's some bizarre "mad, mad, mad world" of that exact sort of thing. Jesus, I've seen Jerry Rice called an "uncle tom" because he dared to have an opinion that wasn't shared with some people. Enough is enough. This has been the STUPIDEST 72 hours I've seen since people were debating over a loving dress. Sorry guys. Just...it's been exhausting reading this crap on my twitter, and I've been wanting to vent on it. It's not the topic of the protest that's bugging me, it's been this lovely slacktivism I've seen from all sides over it.
