Better start burning those F150s!!!

On top of that - they don’t want the man to earn a living… If he was out selling drugs and killing they would have a problem with that.

This is why we are taking a knee. Not even safe in your own house.

This whole thing is messed up. Trump plays to the underlying racism in the US with his treatment of immigrants, not denouncing white supremacists etc. He will defend the right to bare arms time and time again with mass shootings in schools and kindergartens, but a man making a peaceful protest is burnt at the stake WTF

Do you know anymore on this police shooting?

Only what is being reported- too many shoot first and ask questions later situations. Was it a service weapon or personal I wonder?

Exactly, they act like taking a knee is killing white people

THey gave her a low bail so she is out, they also arrested her and took her to another county different from where she killed him at…that other county from what I hear is super racist. So they setting it up to give her a all white jury.

I wish more of my black folks would decide to boycott the NFL this year. Turnoff your TV’s and stop buying NFL merchandise. Owners like Jerry Jones believes there are only white fans who purchase NFL gear and watch NFL games. Our voice deserves to be heard!!! Be about that life just don’t talk about it!!!

Tommie Smith’s comment from his book “Silent Gesture” was his protest was meant to be a “human rights salute” not a black power salute. ( 1968 Olympics)

I thought this was an interesting fact for Tommie Smith to have put out there all those years ago an idea of power for all opposed to black power.

Having said that I agree with you RB34.

Guys like Jones don’t really have to stand up for anything unless it adds to their pocket book.

I gotta get ready for this hurricane!!! Hopefully i can squeeze in two speed sessions before we get flooded away.

This is my 3rd year of not watching nfl

Usually the media will turn everything into something racial. His fist was black so it has to be black power…racist logic

RB, everything okay in your world? Hard to get accurate info from the media regarding Florence. Hopefully the worst of the hurricane missed you and your loved ones. I can’t imagine having to deal with this sort of natural disaster. As long as everyone is safe that would be great. I know you there have been casualties and a baby included which is terrible. Let’s us know once you have the ability.

I’m good. I’m about 2-3hrs from the coast - mainly wind 30-40mph and rain… School has been canceled since last Thursday - my wife flew to Boston last Saturday to visit family. I should be able to hit the track on Tuesday!!!

That’s good news.

Did you go to the track on Tuesday and were you able to run?
