Lots of passion today! A FEW TRUTHS:

(1) A black person in America is more than 60 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person! (FBI Crime Report, Homicide Statistics, Table 6).

(2) BLM Cares not a whit about that fact, ONLY the few blacks that are killed by white police officers. Go to their own web site and READ IT!

(3) Every day, in America THOUSANDS of people have to decide how to respond to a police stop. (EVERY RACE) 99.9% of these people understand YOU DO NOT FIGHT PHYSICALLY. If you think you have been wrongfully stopped or harassed, there are countless legal remedies and attorneys that will represent you (pro-bono) in a heartbeat. Look at EVERY case in America that is costing billions of dollars in rioting damages. EVERY CASE INVOLVES A BLACK MAN THAT HAS HAS CHOSEN to physically resist a police officer! When you can cite even ONE EXCEPTION I will change my opinion.

4. Police in this country rightfully fear for their lives, daily! Police ambushes and outright unprovoked murders FAR OUTNUMBER all the blacks killed by police officers! If you have a modicum of common sense you DO NOT PHYSICALLY CHALLENGE someone that fears for their life!

(5) The racist BLM movement is CREATING more racists, in America, than any organization has done before.

We stopped watching pro sports when Kaepernick took a knee. And some are "impressed" with his stand against police brutality?? What.....by wearing socks with pigs on them dressed like police?? Please!! If these pro athletes are THAT impassioned about these issues, why aren't they putting their money where their mouths are and sitting down with law enforcement, mentoring at-risk kids in the inner cities, etc?? Until THEY are hit where it hurts.....in the pocketbook, they'll continue to think any of us are impressed by their antics, keep following them and bowing down. SO sick of it all.

Kapernick lost north of $50M for his cause against black racism. I think that he has put a lot of money where his mouth is. I wonder how many on this site would have done the same for thier cause of indignation regarding what is happening in America?

Where is the outrage for Jerry Fallwell , whose opinions many people take as truth , while looting his university and living an opposite life style , should he just shut up and pray also and how about the just recent retired president of the Boston police union who has been a talking head on national and local tv for loose morals and being soft on crIminals he’s been in jail for a few weeks now for molesting girls between the ages of 9 and 14 and more keep coming forward so you see there are other people we can be outraged about

White collar criminals hurt society MUCH more than Blue collar criminals.

If you look at statistics , most murders are intraracial ( same race) with FBI data from 2017 follows this trend: 80.2% of white victims were killed by white offenders, 8.9% of Black victims were killed by whites, 88.5% of Black victims were killed by Blacks, and 16.1% of whites were killed by Blacks.

So if I were I were you, I would be more worried about white neighbor. Sarcasm.

These statistics show that these murders are more of a crime of opportunity since we are still primarily a segregated society.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds are reportedly boycotting their baseball game tonight at Miller Park.

Seeing all the games are virtual and no fans are inconvenienced (except for maybe having to pick up the remote to change the station), it will be interesting to see fan reaction.

Personally, I am so over professional sports.

I was over sports a long time ago. They get paid way to much for “playing” games all day and they cry they want more money. They are all worthless. Hope athletes suffer and lose their jobs like many others. They deserve too

If BLM then do it pride and respect But when you burn and threaten people like the lady in DC eating her lunch because she wouldn’t raise her fist and destroy businesses and buildings there’s no pride in that and there’s no respect you’re just thugs and criminals

True! That lady WAS harassed big time. That WAS wrong. And they were spreading possible CV droplets on her. She had a mask on. SOME people can ruin a good cause. They crossed a point of over-zealousness from which ALL of them can NOT return. Total shame. The CLOSEST ones SHOULD get civil or Criminal charges!!!!

hmmmm, didn't know they were still a thing! Too busy watching reruns of Johnny Carson!!! Well I think if they are not going to play they should not get paid......lets see how strong their allegiance really is!!! I Oh well back to watching Blazing Saddles!

Florida17 08-27-2020 03:14 PM

We used to call that a forfiet😕

Tennisbum 08-27-2020 03:21 PM

Gee now what will I do? Maybe go wash the dog....Oh wait, I don't watch them anyway! However I have been enjoying some hockey if you want to watch sports with no drama!
