Madcosby posted:i dont even get how people can oppose Kaepernick or that blacks are being slain by cops unjustly. What the hell is the argument against it? Besides the obvious racism and desperate denial, these people lack critical thinking skills. When you're a kid you're taught (with good reason) that cops are your friends and are always there to help. When you grow up without ever questioning anything you believe that all cops are justified in their actions at all times. It's the same with the national anthem and pledge of allegiance. If it's all you know and you never think critically about anything, then it's upsetting to see those things treated irreverently.

hmm, I like Chip Kelly again, and I'm glad he's stopped being racist.Madcosby posted:Chip Kelly onboard is one of the last people I'd expect. Good job Colin for real, he got rid of DeSean Jackson and Shady McCoy, who had never caused trouble on or off the field, because he didn't like their personality or w/e, and now this. good for him! Madcosby posted:i dont even get how people can oppose Kaepernick or that blacks are being slain by cops unjustly. What the hell is the argument against it? "the shootings are justified; yeah they made a few mistakes but in the vast majority of cases they're right, and you can't hamstring them with fear of prosecution or losing their jobs!! also most of those people had criminal records anyway so let's just call it even and move on."

CharlestheHammer posted:They found a way to make a teenager in a suburb look like a harden criminal to get Zimmerman free, this is child's play for any lawyer. Hardened. And if you think that was at all difficult given that kids past with violence in school alone, then you really don't know that case. These people can turn a 19 year old virgin from Tennessee who was raped into a huge sorority slut who craves gangbangs. Making a black guy look terrifying is absolutely nothing to them.

According to my possibly white nationalist boss(Who talks about how if it keeps up white people will be extinct by 2040 or some poo poo and it scares him) black people are just still mad about slavery and have to get back at white people by any means necessary, which is why Colin Kaepernick is doing what he's doing. I wanted to ask why being mad about slavery was a bad thing but I didn't want to push it any further.

Yeah, they should politely and calmly wait for white America to listen. Maybe fill out some twitter polls or something. If they're not too uppity and familiar about it we might deign to give them an audience this time.

Smiling Mandrill posted:Yeah gently caress anything that might have a chance of bringing real change, or creating a dialog. Have fun in the echo chamber. Here is why your opinion blows. You are putting the burden on the movement to find the "right case" that will open everyone's eyes to the issue. The thing you are ignoring is that it doesn't matter how cut and dry a case is, the racists and deniers are going to make up any excuse or justification they can for why a police officer killed a black man. Even in this OK case, that has video evidence of what happened, people still try to justify the actions of the officer. You also don't seem at all concerned that the Brown & Sterling cases resulted in the death of a human being and represent an unacceptable escalation of force. Police need to be trained to deescalate situations, not shoot first ask questions later.

CyberPingu posted:Your opinion was utter poo poo though. According to this thread. Focusing on clear cut cases of injustice, bringing them to the forefront, and making them part of the public conscious =utter poo poo. Dying on the hill of an armed child molester who wrestled with the cops, then burning down your own neighborhood in a riot = positive societal change. The fact that the average American knows the name Alton Sterling, but not Oscar Grant is a huge part of the problem whether this thread wants to admit it or not. I don't really care what this thread thinks anyway. Most of the posters in here come off a s self loathing middle class white boys hot boxing pretentious farts in their dorm rooms. I guess it doesn't matter if the vast majority of people don't seem to grasp, or care why hes sitting in the first place. As long as the football player sitting down is pissing off your rich establishment daddy thats good enough.
