Correct!

But you are leaving out the best part, young whites are on board....kneeling, confessing, "I am the problem, we will work to do better"


so the problem is much deeper and much bigger than we realized

If Coach O allows LSU to take a knee for the Anthem, he will very quickly get rebuked by the fans

then he will have to deal with black players and the fans at the same time

If you're head coach, you best get a hold of the situation, right now....

lay down the facts (the stats destroy the BLM narrative) The BLM beliefs on their website are enough to make a social worker question everything about making a difference)

lay down the rules (being woke is not woke)

lay down your position and stick to it, and accept the consequences...

Play football or play politics but you can not do both and be a champion

They certainly don't help, but it started getting worse 3 1/2 years ago.

It’s because of those fine upstanding members of the disenfranchised community.

I care as much about BLM, as they do about my life.

I’d get up and leave, that’s for sure.

In any case, they don’t even leave the locker room for the national anthem so we won’t have that issue. Unless they’ve changed their SOP.

Yes, it does. May be in the deepsouth it is not so, but I have been to marches where 90% of the people where white adults, young and old.

This is a change that is good for the country. Finally, we are doing the right thing.

No, because centuries of slavery, mistreatment, blatantly injustices and attacks on them.

If you are tired of hearing about racism, imagine how tired people are of experiencing it.

We are working toward bringing systemic racism to an end, publicly calling out racism and taking strong actions toward making the playing ground far more equal.

This is going to take decades of effort, but we will make this a better place for everyone.

Nah, you asked us to imagine the horror of racism. The prevalence of it is mostly in your own head.
