This man should be placed in a re-education camp immediatley until he learns to think properly. Dear Leader will not be happy.

quote:

Joe Staysniak has been suspended one week without pay from an Indianapolis sports radio station after on-air comments he made this week that included saying black people need to stop being victims, kneeling in front of the American flag is treason, the Confederate flag is not racist and he finds it hard to believe black people are being targeted by police.

10 blacks killed by cops, 19 whites... faux outrage to cripple an entire nation. I am ready to start protesting the unequal treatment of whites.

Its easy to believe blacks are targeted by cops. Most of the crime occurs around blacks.

The NFL will be used to advance communism until people stop watching and stop going to games. If one is ok with this by all means watch but everyone should know what they are supporting.

And don't dare say it out loud. Not an employer out there who won't shite-can your arse for it.

Good thing free speech exists at the government level... not ... it's even worse.

I don't necessarily disagree with any of what he said but sadly you have to know that if you work in media and say those things there will be consequences. Freedom of speech is dead in this country and it didn't take the government lifting a single finger to do it.

He's pretty lucky if he said all of that and only got suspended for a week.

Why would that matter or even the population of the world for that matter. The only number that matters is the total number of people involved in committing crimes. Of that number, who is committing the most crimes,then divide.
You can't say there are more of whites hurt in, say football because there are more whites in this country. You can only count the number actually playing the game.

Free market capitalism results in suspension of talk show host who voiced opinion contrary to the views of a majority of Americans. Oh no. My pearls are clutched.

Should we start a jobs program for media who get fired and suspended for being unpopular?

As usual, you just lie. I reckon you can't help yourself.

how bout everybody toughen up a little and try to not get their feelings hurt every time a stranger voices a differing opinion?

This is America. We’re allowed to have our own political thoughts, or at least we were supposed to
