More in one sign than Kapernicks cause in a whole season.

Exactly. If all unarmed black people killed by police every year were magically not killed by police, over 99% of black murders would still occur each year.


In 2017 roughly 20,000,000 black males lived in the US. 223 were killed by police officers. EVEN if we consider that a greater proportion of black males are killed by police than any other demographic in the US, that STILL means last year roughly 0.00001% of the black male population in the US was killed via police shooting.

I know facts tend to really mess up a good "victim" narrative, but this is where we are in 2018. Black men, who in a "racist country" earn more money than over 99% of the ENTIRE US population are protesting an act that is responsible for the deaths of a fraction of a fraction of black men in this country.

Here's the reason. When your entire identity is wrapped up in being a victim, you have to create ways to continue to portray yourself as a "victim". Even if raw statistics and facts overwhelmingly conclude police killings of black males is an EXTREMELY RARE occurrence. Otherwise, your entire identity disappears.

The MSB hive mind that doesn't care about Kaep or the players kneeling (yet posts in every thread defending him and even citing his charitable contributions), has no response for any posts like this.

Imagine that!

Some things I can get behind if sincere: 1. Make all recreational drugs legal. You aren't going to solve the drug epidemic by current means, ever. Our jails are overcrowded as is and an epidemic on the judicial system is going to explode soon.

2. Do number 1 and you won't see as many black men being shot by police aa there will be no legal means for arrest.

3. Well, it all goes back to drugs. Every damn bit of it. Make the shite legal already.

So if over 60% of the prison population is ‘People of color’ one can deduce ‘people of color’ commit more crimes?

Dear Malcolm,

Your sign may be directed at our President, because of his action of rescinding your White House invite for your SuperBowl victory. I’m sure you mean well, ALTHOUGH I doubt your statistics paint the full picture. BUT the people reading your signs and trying to decipher what exactly your point is, are the people who buy tickets, pay for TV packages to see your games, buy jerseys and other memorabilia WHICH pays your salary. AND we are sick and fricking tired of you and your colleagues forcing your politics down our throats when all we want to see you do is play fricking football.


It is this fricking simple.

I’m not even sure he knows.

I’m sure he has some valid points to make, but he really sucks at getting them across.

So let me get this straight. Jenkins wants to complain that 25% if those shot and killed by police this year are black since they are only 8% of the population, yet ignored the fact they have committed nearly 50% or more of violent crimes in that same time despite being only 8% of the population.

Also, simple solution to the school to prison pipeline. STOP COMMITTING CRIMES YOU ASSHOLES!

But did some of them do something else disrespectful, such as raising the Clenched Fist of the Revolutionary Racist Murderous Black Panther Party? Yes, they did.

You are trying to fool uninformed people, my friend.

Are you a supporter of the Revolutionary Terror Group called the Black Panthers?
