Black people being systematically and routinely murdered by police entirely on the basis of race and nothing else is a lie.

No, it is not, but you need to believe it is, that's all. The system is what it is. When folks speak of privilege, they’re not accusing you of anything, they are merely pointing out that you have the luxury of remaining ignorant and immune to the reality of your social power structure.

I just can't understand how this has triggered so many grown men. We all have our lines, I don't watch anything with Michael Vick, I don't think that people that do what he did really ever change in their heart so I kinda self boycott him. Grown men silently protesting the mistreatment of black men by cops doesn't come close to pissing me off that much.

Should we all be running what we find important by you for your approval? You don't care why I find it important, why should I care that you don't? Does burning the flag bother you? If it doesn't then, of course, you aren't going to agree with me but you're acting in just the same way as you're accusing others of just because some people have decided to watch something else.

They're merely pointing out that nothing I do is of really any value since I can just rely on all this privilege.

The NFL players are disrespecting our military by doing this.

Colin Kaepernick was making a political statement but the rest of the lemmings are silly.

Brady stood up. He wouldn't engage in such behavior.

You can clearly see what you said originally in my first post where I quoted you. I guess being dishonest would be par for the course for a pats fan.

Not that you have any credibility to lose but you edited your post after I quoted it obviously. Done with you.

What "principals" are they upholding? Are they donating their fat paychecks to whatever social cause they support? They're not even refusing to play because then no pay. I almost think I could respect that more. They're no martyrs.

What on earth are you talking about? I'm an anti-football liberal because I think the players get screwed in their CBA?

Funny that I'm responding to such drivel while watching my Bills beat Denver.
