What's the white power salute?
Standing up and respecting our National Anthem.
And not being an attention whore

meh . . . Mediterraneans are pretty close to level . . . and I wouldn't even say the people of Turkey are POCs, just olive skinned
Turkish people obviously vary but most have a complexion similar to middle eastern.
For the purposes of the discussion I adopted the language of our western humanities departments. If Cyprus was on neighborhood watch and shot Turkey on the way home from the convenience store... it would be viewed as a white country shooting a country of color by our media

Let the resident black guy help you gents out. The fist doesn't necessarily mean black power. It could mean Fight the Power or Power to the People which is by the way a John Lennon song that maybe could help my brothers of a paler pigmentation understand a little better.

These threads are always sad and funny.
How many knocking the players today were singing Ali's praises this summer for his courage in protest after he passed away?
Mad respect to the guys disparaging both Ali then and these guys now. At least you're guided by consistent misanthropy

Because, white pride= racist
That's because white pride ideologies center on the idea that whites are racially superior. Go to websites like Stormfront. Listen to white supremacists.

most americans I know and talk to seem to have issues with players openly disrespecting the flag and the national anthem. They are protesting White privilege because this group is not doing enough for minority causes. So the irony is that this white privilege makes up a great many of the ones who buy tickets go to the games and buy jerseys. So the white privilege is also supporting the sponsors of said players who are protesting.

They would go up and down the European coast and raid villages and enslave White Europeans from Spain all the way up to the Nordic countries.
It ended in 1830... only about 30 years before slavery ended in America ended.

Yep . . . And the Barbary slaves were actually forcibly taken, not sold by tribal chiefs . . . It'll never be taught, however, even less than the black slaveowners in the new world.

White pride, the concept you suggested, is NOTHING but racist because its ideology and attainment of power is solely rooted in the belief that whites are superior, not to mention all of the discrimination and oppression of POCs to get their hierarchy.
It's a shallow argument you should drop bro.
LSUPride is suggesting the guys who raised a fist yesterday did so for the reasons above. That's absurd.

But doubling down on the stance and insinuating they are the same, that's just silly at this point.

This thread is the epitome of the hilarity of white grievances.
They are farces. You guys realize white people have been making this fake calls for help against black people our entire countries existence. As if the oppressed and persecuted are the progenitors of all this trouble.
It's asinine and in many ways, sociopathic

The fans of NFL need to have a sit out weekend.
Leave all stadiums empty for one weekend to protest this crap.
Once the NFL started doing it, it trickles down, now all the high schools are going to do it.
It's embarrassing the lack of respect on this.

What I find hilarious is that the same people who argue we disrespect the National Anthem and the Flag, are the same people who didn't want to bring down the symbol of the confederate flag. THE DIRECT OPPOSITION TO EVERYTHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AMERICAN. The unity and pride shown was not to your fellow man of darker complexion under the current symbol, but unity and pride under the archaic symbol that helped to prolong, if only shortly, the oppression of my people.
Do you realize the national anthem is edited, we only sing the first verse. We don't include its outlook on slaves who wanted so badly to be free they fled. That mindset that we were wrong, traitorous for fleeing and joining the British if promised freedom, rather that to be owned, beaten, killed, made to work for profit never seen.
Yes, we were so disloyal and unappreciative for wanting freedom and to be treated as an equal rather than less than those who owned us. Wow, nothing in that says that the mindset that still exists among many white people, NOT ALL, is similar if not the same arse during or before the Civil Rights Movement or even Civil War and we are so wrong to speak against having more opportunities since then rather than, ALL of US having the exact same opportunities as ALL of YOU.

Labred. . . I am truly sorry you and your people never had the opportunity to grasp basic subject-verb agreement skills. Must've be that old rebel glory keeping you down.
Posted on 9/12/16 at 8:59 am to shel311
Shel, can one be proud to be white and make a public showing of such pride during the national anthem, without some sort of pushback?
Is that better? I just don't want to have you play your semantic game all day in here. Too early in the week for you to get started on that

I really should take a stand and boycott the NFL. stop watching, buying tickets and merchandise... But I can't... I love football 
Another option is to just ignore these primadonna thug wannabes. Stop giving them the attention they want
