    Its hard to believe that someone who wrote this is calling people misinformed. I believe the pot and the kettle had such an exchange!

    Hahhaa its racist. You just said it again. Why did you include "white" in your statement? A non racist would never have included skin color in that context. A racist who made a freudian slip would.

    Interesting. I have found that it is not necessary to disrespect anyone to get my point across. Disagree if you want, but they could have just as easily helped their cause without having to drag their employer through this controversy. The majority of Americans feel this way.

    Sorry but you think saying " white" constitutes racism. You are essentially uneducable with no comprehension of what racist means despite my tireless attempts at educating one of my obvious inferiors.

    Sorry but including " white" doesn't make it racist. Why are you people so incapable of actually understand the rather simple definition of racism. If you really are so stupid that you think saying white, or black in a sentence constitutes racism then you must clearly be a Trump supporter. Hit the nail on the head didn't I.

    Well perhaps you could explain in the era of Trump what you think America is all about.

    (1) The NFL is correct to be concerned about LEO and to protest it in a venue that brings max exposure. They are respectful to virtues of the Anthem and the Flag while kicking virtually in the face those Americans who are not.

    (2) I disrespect anyone who will not take the time to honestly become informed about ALL of our history.

    (3) Credentials?

    My great-grandfather served in the Filipino Insurrecto. My grandfather was an Artillery officer in WWI. My father and step father were Army and Marine infantry, respectively, with service on Tarawa, Saipan, Guam, the Philippines, and both on Okinawa. They were PH awardees and won medals of valor several times. My uncle drove a glider in the pre-dawn darkness into Normandy. My mother's fiancee was shot down and killed over Italy. My stepfather fought and was wounded in Korea. My cousin was badly wounded in Vietnam. My brother was a career Air Force NCO. I served twelve years in the infantry and earned the Parachute Badge and have a 100% VA disability pension.

    Not one of us ever would have voted for an immoral cretin like Trump.

    Our family supported Civil Rights from the 1920s right up to and including today. We are anti racialism, nativism, ethnocentrism, and white supremacy. We are from France, Sweden, and Holland, and not one of us has ever had truck with 'isms of the far right or the far let.

    (4) I don't know your father in law, and I honor his service.

    But I certainly don't honor Americans who cannot understand what America is all about while trying to drag it back to the 1950s and beyond.

    Capiche?
    The first three points spell out it out clearly.

    To rephrase it, America is not about going back to the 1950s. It should be all about getting all Americans into the American Dream.

    Well thanks, but since they are too uneducated to actually understand the definition of racism they will always win in their world of imaginary meaning. So stupid to think that if you use the word white, or black, it is a sign of being a racist but it is all they have. They can't explain why kneeling is disrespecting soldiers or disrespecting the flag. And they got sucked in by Smartmouthwomans phony article on NFL rules so got to give them a little slack in their feeble attempts to salvage what little pride they could possibly have remaining.

    Sorry but this tells us exactly what about America?

    They know they are racists, but defend themselves with "you are a racist if you point out my racism," which is rather stupid.

    CourtJester, do you know the history of the US? I can recommend a good reading list for you.

    I know enough to be proud of our early years, disgusted about our history of slavery, proud of our actions in the two world wars and the period of reconstructing Europe, and disgusted by our recent actions in Vietnam, Iraq and Afganistan, and appalled by our current administration.

    Much of our present is good. What we are seeing is that our racist 'herpes' is having an outbreak culturally. The older racists are having their last "hurrah", mad about CR, mad about blacks not having to step aside for them on the street and down into the gutter.

    An example: several years a white supremacist tried to upbraid a black man on the sidewalk in Apple Springs, Texas, and he was beat down for using the N word and pushing several people. When he raised his cane, they beat him down.

    They cannot stand that those days are over.

    Be vigilant, be proud, and beat down any cultural supremacism.

    So you imagine some "the left" and then imagine it somehow being "stung" by some vague thing you've utterly failed to explain, let alone "illustrate." Here's a thought - find something to do.

    Good. So he probably recalls that "The Oath of enlistment is something that every service member must promise and adhere to for his/her entire military career. From the Oath, you can see that you will be defending the Constitution - not a person." Not a flag. Not some idiotic notion of patriotism.

    We accept American history AS HISTORY

    Now its time for the left - in this case black people - to move on and deal with the present not dwell on the past

    I have given you the two coauses for black failure in Amerca which are black people themselves and the federal welfare state that panders to bad personal behavour

    Stop blaming white society for the failure of black people to progress and stop voting to grow the welfare state
