It's a Control thing ... it will never happen.

The more you try to control people, the more creative they'll be a lack of Control.

Can you Imagine trying to Control me?

I'll dream up ways of getting even.

The last thing someone should want, is my undivided focus on them :mrgreen:
 
It's like porn. I know it when I see it.

You seem to believe that white people control black people's ability to advance in society...

You asked a question. I gave you an answer. Who said anything about control?

There's a big difference between taking an action which is intentionally disrespectful and just plain not caring about the Flag and National Anthem. But I'm pretty sure that you know that already...

What action is that? Because it certainly ain't kneeling in protest. :)

It isn't kneeling, it's refusing to stand. Yes, there is a difference and it is exactly what is being done. This isn't an action taken in support of something, its' one done as an intentional act of disrespect.

Says you but there's nothing that makes that more than your opinion.

The fact that few of the people doing the protesting are doing anything to actually address the root cause of the problem - high crime rates among young urban blacks. In fact, the NFL, NBA, etc. just perpetuate the quick easy money myth that leads a lot of these young men down the road they end up on.

But this started way before Trump ... and it's not about Trump, The Flag or Patriotism.

Trump is making this about The Flag and Patriotism and he doesn't watch ot go to a Game. He's usually playing Golf, where he most likely he walks pass a Dozen Flags everyday all day and never even looks at them.

But hey, you gotta love how he can play a toon and make everyone around him dance. That's why I'm going to be more like Trump. Say whatever you want to say, it doesn't matter if it true or not, who cares. Just say what people want to hear and have a good laugh later.

I agree. Every time I hear that those players are "on the clock" and getting paid so therefore they must stand I ask where's my check? I have stood for the anthem innumerable times and not received one dime. In fact I think we should pay everyone to stand for the anthem not just the players since that now seems to be the only justification offered for removing their right to protest.

But are you in show business?

If so if you dont want to do the script then you stay home and you dont get paid.
