I Have always believed in freedom of speech religion expression so on and so forth. America and what we do as a country has never been perfect our laws have been tested sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad it has worked against the minority THATS A FACT ... over many years back to Ellis island we as a country have opened our arms to all people race creed color and no not all have been treated fairly over the years myself I had family who came from Italy to Ellis island the stories my family told us of how they and many others were treated beaten spit on killed even but this was America and they made it work never once bad mouthing or turning there backs on the anthem....
black lives matter is what started all this and I agree some cops are out of control. but make a real stand if you want to make a point let the NFL players who EAT SLEEP AND MAKE MILLIONS PLAYING A GAME. Take your time and money go to the inner city start college funds through the schools to promote those who finish high school with a 3.0 GPA a part of a college fund..
All the NFL players who kneel march on congress push to have a bill passed to have cops use the rubber bullet guns they have and other means other than shoot first...
bottom line there have always been groups who have been treated badly killed and beaten through out history this is your country if you don't like whats going on work for change but get the fuck off your knees or get out...

Every citizen in this nation owes a debt. A debt of gratitude. As a child it starts in school with honoring the flag, the very symbol of freedom. Not just American freedom, world freedom. Some children are in the boy scouts and girls scouts. Organizations put in place to instill pride and build character in American youth. For the men who built this nation thru blood sweat and tears, the flag stands. For the men whom fought and died for this nation, the flag stands. For the men whom make many millions of dollars playing a childs game and choose to not stand................the flag still stands.
To the men in football jerseys who do not stand for the flag, who do so for the issues of racial injustice, I ask this. What other than taking a knee have you done to raise the needle to the direction you are wanting. Are you in the poor communities speaking with your brethren about drug use? Are you telling the youth that violence is not the way? Are you incouraging the youth to get out of the ghetto and improve themselves with education, a job skill, trade skill? Are you talking with the young women about birth control and fatherless children? Are you talking to the youth and telling them that in America color does not matter. That in America anyone willing to work hard enough will improve themselves.
Until then you have no right to disgrace the very symbol that gives you freedom to play a childs game reaping many millions for doing so very little. Football is not a job, its a fucking game.

just curious, when did we agree that kneeling was disrespectful?
I must have missed that vote
I don't see any problem with peaceful, non-violent political protest.
Some people might find it uncomfortable or distasteful just as others might find KKK marches or the Westborough Baptist Church distasteful. Same way they might find pro-life or pro-choice distasteful
That's actually a protected right in this country and actually part of what the flag represents.
290 Protesters were arrested in Russia over the weekend
St. Petersburg, Russia (CNN)Russian police arrested 290 protesters in 26 cities as marches took place against President Vladimir Putin on the leader's 65th birthday, according to independent monitoring group OVD.
Thousands attended the marches on Saturday, held by supporters of Putin's only real political opponent, activist Alexei Navalny, who is serving a 20-day jail term for organizing an unauthorized public meeting.
It is very difficult to legally organize protests in Russia, where public assembly laws have been tightened several times since Putin's current presidential term began in 2012.

They aren't, because they are fundamentally dishonest. Chicago is a fucking war zone but since the killers and the victims are both black all these activists don't give a fuck.
They only care about things that serve their victimhood narrative.

you're certainly entitled to your own opinion but that's all it is...your opinion
Here's a picture of WWII Vet John Middlemas kneeling in solidarity with the NFL players and he said "“Those kids have every right to protest.”
You see, everyone can have a different opinion in this country
It's part of what makes us a great country

The players got what they wanted in Chicago and violent crime went through the roof. People don’t want to acknowledge the existence of trade-offs. Either you have aggressive policing in these areas or out of control crime. Pick your poison.

Student's all over the world today are standing up for their rights and fighting for their rights, but here in America, the so-called Negro students have allowed themselves to be maneuvered under a tag of "sit-in". The word sit itself is not an honorable tag, anybody can sit, and old woman can sit, a coward can sit, a baby can sit, anything can sit, but it takes a man to stand.

What you said about ellis island isn't true. This myth that liberal whites like to perpetuate of america letting people of all colors immigrate here is nothing but a lie. It is true that italians and the irish were treated like shit, in fact during slavery the irish sold for less than half of Africans.
During the colonial era immigrants came to America seeking economic opportunities. However, because the price of passage was steep, an estimated one-half or more of the white Europeans who made the voyage did so by becoming indentured servants. Although some people voluntarily indentured themselves, others were kidnapped in European cities and forced into servitude in America. Additionally, thousands of English convicts were shipped across the Atlantic as indentured servants.
The following is cut and paste. You want sources? They're everywhere. America isn't a melting pot, it never will be, that wasn't the intention of it's Anglo Saxon founding fathers, they wanted it to be a white nation. This is the bullshit you've been fed through the school system and every form of media for the last 50 years. Remember that blacks were considered 3/5 of a man, subhuman according to the constitution. What does this tell you?
Any dumb fucking white man who parrots this same nonsense needs to educate himself on the history of America's immigration
laws.
IMMIGRATION IN THE MID-19TH CENTURY
Another major wave of immigration occurred from around 1815 to 1865. The majority of these newcomers hailed from Northern and Western Europe. Approximately one-third came from Ireland, which experienced a massive famine in the mid-19th century. In the 1840s, almost half of America’s immigrants were from Ireland alone. Typically impoverished, these Irish immigrants settled near their point of arrival in cities along the East Coast. Between 1820 and 1930, some 4.5 million Irish migrated to the United States.
Also in the 19th century, the United States received some 5 million German immigrants. Many of them journeyed to the present-day Midwest to buy farms or congregated in such cities as Milwaukee, St. Louis and Cincinnati. In the national census of 2000, more Americans claimed German ancestry than any other group.
During the mid-1800s, a significant number of Asian immigrants settled in the United States. Lured by news of the California gold rush, some 25,000 Chinese had migrated there by the early 1850s.
The influx of newcomers resulted in anti-immigrant sentiment among certain factions of America’s native-born, predominantly Anglo-Saxon Protestant population. The new arrivals were often seen as unwanted competition for jobs, while many Catholics–especially the Irish–experienced discrimination for their religious beliefs. In the 1850s, the anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic American Party (also called the Know-Nothings) tried to severely curb immigration, and even ran a candidate, former U.S. president Millard Fillmore (1800-1874), in the presidential election of 1956.
Following the Civil War, the United States experienced a depression in the 1870s that contributed to a slowdown in immigration.
ELLIS ISLAND AND FEDERAL IMMIGRATION REGULATION
One of the first significant pieces of federal legislation aimed at restricting immigration was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which banned Chinese laborers from coming to America. Californians had agitated for the new law, blaming the Chinese, who were willing to work for less, for a decline in wages.
For much of the 1900s, the federal government had left immigration policy to individual states. However, by the final decade of the century, the government decided it needed to step in to handle the ever-increasing influx of newcomers. In 1890, President Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901) designated Ellis Island, located in New York Harbor near the Statue of Liberty, as a federal immigration station. More than 12 million immigrants entered the United States through Ellis Island during its years of operation from 1892 to 1954.
EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION: 1880-1920
Between 1880 and 1920, a time of rapid industrialization and urbanization, America received more than 20 million immigrants. Beginning in the 1890s, the majority of arrivals were from Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. In that decade alone, some 600,000 Italians migrated to America, and by 1920 more than 4 million had entered the United States. Jews from Eastern Europe fleeing religious persecution also arrived in large numbers; over 2 million entered the United States between 1880 and 1920.
The peak year for admission of new immigrants was 1907, when approximately 1.3 million people entered the country legally. Within a decade, the outbreak of World War I (1914-1918) caused a decline in immigration. In 1917, Congress enacted legislation requiring immigrants over 16 to pass a literacy test, and in the early 1920s immigration quotas were established. The Immigration Act of 1924 created a quota system that restricted entry to 2 percent of the total number of people of each nationality in America as of the 1890 national census–a system that favored immigrants from Western Europe–and prohibited immigrants from Asia.
THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT OF 1965
Immigration plummeted during the global depression of the 1930s and World War II (1939-1945). Between 1930 and 1950, America’s foreign-born population decreased from 14.2 to 10.3 million, or from 11.6 to 6.9 percent of the total population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. After the war, Congress passed special legislation enabling refugees from Europe and the Soviet Union to enter the United States. Following the communist revolution in Cuba in 1959, hundreds of thousands of refugees from that island nation also gained admittance to the United States.
In 1965, Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act, which did away with quotas based on nationality and allowed Americans to sponsor relatives from their countries of origin. As a result of this act and subsequent legislation, the nation experienced a shift in immigration patterns. Today, the majority of U.S. immigrants come from Asia and Latin America rather than Europe.

Malcolm X
Hopefully you're not suggesting the MalcomX would have wanted them to "stand" for the national anthem
here's another quote from MalcomX
“No, I’m not an American. I’m one of 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the … victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So I’m not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver – no, not I! I’m speaking as a victim of this American system. I don’t see any American dream; I see an American nightmare!”

Protest all you want....but on your own time...
Whose time is it?

Hopefully you're not suggesting the MalcomX would have wanted them to "stand" for the national anthem
here's another quote from MalcomX
I am suggesting that the black men have been "maneuvered" (by their own doing) into kneeling, just like with the "sit ins". They could stand with their fists in the air.
I have watched all of these, and he is correct. Especially the 1st and second one.
-
who's time,,?? they are at "work".... period.... i surely cannot kneel and protest during the workday..... not sure many could.... play your game... make your big $$ chasing a little leather ball.... but air your complaints before entering the stadium or after the game ....... troll me all day... idc...

interesting perspective
Colin Kaepernick was maneuvered into kneeling by his own doing?
I don't understand how that works
It is an interesting point that you bring up
When Trump decided to pick this fight (something we all know he loves to do, especially when he thinks he can bully someone) there were only about 10 players kneeling
The next weekend there were ~ 200 or 250 so maybe Trump is the one who maneuvered them into kneeling
Do you think people who protest the kneeling would be any less riled up if they stood with their fists in the air and maybe wearing a black glove?
btw - the sit ins had nothing to do with just "sitting"
They could have sat in the park if it was just about sitting
They served a purpose and many of them were arrested and it was just because they happened to be sitting

I Have always believed in freedom of speech religion expression so on and so forth.

black lives matter is what started all this and I agree some cops are out of control. but make a real stand if you want to make a point let the NFL players who EAT SLEEP AND MAKE MILLIONS PLAYING A GAME. Take your time and money go to the inner city start college funds through the schools to promote those who finish high school with a 3.0 GPA a part of a college fund..
All the NFL players who kneel march on congress push to have a bill passed to have cops use the rubber bullet guns they have and other means other than shoot first...

Funny how people forget that other Americans have the right to peaceful protest.
Disrespect the flag? Get the fuck out of here. Hell, you can legally burn a flag, it is part of freedom.
Do I stand for the flag? Absolutely, but do others have the right not too? Yes. Freedom is awesome.
I don’t understand what losers are getting out of bitching about what others do within their legal rights. If you don’t like it, stop watching fucking NFL! That is the only “get out” that is involved.
Oh and P.S. my dad is a disabled Veteran so he is 1000 Times the man you are. ;)

Not Colin but the others. And Trump should have stayed out of it. Yet, he is doing what Obama was accused of doing.
At this point, people will be riled up either way. People got riled up when players had taken a knee before the anthem. But, if they stand and raised their fist, people cannot say that they are being disrespectful, because people used to do the Bellamy salute the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance.
You can't be that dense to what Malcolm was saying. He was saying that it was form of weakness. Which it is.
The success was what? Yes, many were arrested for staging sit ins of white establishments that wouldn't serve them.
Here is the full quote:
Rather than to force our way into someone else's restaurant or public place that they have established, we should get our own. Once we have our own, we're respected for the fact that we can create our own. That's equality right there.
Also, read the paragraph above the one you posted (from Malcolm X's 1964 speech The Ballot or The Bullet), it gives more context to what you posted
Malcolm was ahead of his time. In regards to the second part of the quote I posted, he has echoed what many before him have said. Even Thomas Sowell has said this now.

Some people might find it uncomfortable or distasteful just as others might find KKK marches or the Westborough Baptist Church distasteful. Same way they might find pro-life or pro-choice distasteful
That's actually a protected right in this country and actually part of what the flag represents.

We could debate this until the day we die
1. everyone has a right to protest no one is taking that away from them
2. there is a time and place they chose to make themselves look relevant; where was the protest when black gang members are killing there own every day..they didn't kneel then.
3. respect the nation you live in and make a living in there are other ways to protest.
4. we all have a reason to take a knee jews blacks Asians whites every nationality we are a mix pot of people but we don't kneel we use our voices we take action for change.

Why are you bitching about what others do within their legal rights?

Why are you bitching about what others do within their legal rights?
its a discussion points of view no bitching, thoughts expressions we all have them if you have anything intelligent to say then say it
-
Why are you bitching about what others do within their legal rights?
So, to sum all of this up:
1) Everyone has a constitutional right to protest.
2) People are going to bitch and moan when they don't agree with the protests of the other side, even if its a peaceful protest.
3) People will continue to protest areas of life where they feel needs reform.
4) We should move on.

Football is the easiest of all the major sports to not watch. It has the shortest season and the most consolidated schedule. The on-field product is mediocre at best. The televised presentation is a drawn out mess that stretches a one hour game into a four hour ordeal. Going to one of these games is a giant pain in the ass and once you get there you get raped at every turn: ticket prices, concessions and parking.
This kneeling deal is just the cherry on top of a shit Sundae on Sunday.
Find something else to do. It’s not that hard if you try.

when are they going to protest the brew on brew violence that plagues late night chicken shops?
This is the stupidest argument ever. When deshaun kills tyrone he ends up in jail, they're more than enough metrics to back that up. Secondly cops should be held to a higher standard

That's if anybody saw it, or will speak, or the witnesses haven't been killed.
In theory yes. In practice? Take a look at this nation, it is going downhill fast. Who wants to be cop, with the pay that some police agencies pay? And then many don't have enough gun training, there is limited hand to hand combat skills given. Go to a museum or zoo or for a hike, instead of watching football.
Cultural Enrichment, learning about flora and fauna, or which berries NOT to eat, is possibly expecting too much from some Getbiggers.

I guess football is the alternative.

I would like to see Phil Heath's two cents on this matter. And since he likes to take long jogs on stretches of road, and bubble baths while reading the latest Heavy Hitters magazine, I believe he may surprise us with a very informative viewpoint.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong so often? Here’s an actual prosecutor talking about the biggest reason that black homicides go unpunished:

So, to sum all of this up:
1) Everyone has a constitutional right to protest.
2) People are going to bitch and moan when they don't agree with the protests of the other side, even if its a peaceful protest.
3) People will continue to protest areas of life where they feel needs reform.
4) We should move on.
this.
Why are you bitching about what others do within their legal rights?
you can not read huh?
-
standing is a sign of pride kneeling is a sign of disrespect everyone has a right to protest but if you read my post there are other ways other than showing disrespect to a country that has given theses players a good way of life let them live in Russia and see what kind of life they would have
Tell Jesus and Kings that,,,

Funny how people forget that other Americans have the right to peaceful protest.
Disrespect the flag? Get the fuck out of here. Hell, you can legally burn a flag, it is part of freedom.
Do I stand for the flag? Absolutely, but do others have the right not too? Yes. Freedom is awesome.
I don’t understand what losers are getting out of bitching about what others do within their legal rights. If you don’t like it, stop watching fucking NFL! That is the only “get out” that is involved.
Oh and P.S. my dad is a disabled Veteran so he is 1000 Times the man you are. ;)

can't argue that...

I'm white, unpatriotic, and don't watch sports so none of this matters to me.
People who watch sports a lot and think that sports-watching is really, really important are highly pathetic and dumb
Over commercialized all made up fake bs marketing hype: football, baseball, basketball, "nascar" is that a sport?
(I only watch women's beach volleyball ;-)

Trying to make Lil Wayne support BLM?
Lil Wayne says he's NEVER encountered any racism from another group, he is blessed!
Talk about disappointed hosts :D
"It was a white police man that came up, stopped and said, 'What the fuck y'all doin'?!
Do y'all not see this fucking baby on the floor?!'
And they said, 'We called all the ambulance damnit!'
He said, 'Ambulance?!
He's got a hole in his chest!' He picked me up and brought me to the hospital himself. He was white."

I just did. You obviously have a cognitive dissonance in this area:

Not a bad video,always thought lil Wayne was a fucking moron due to looking like he does but he actually seems normal and somewhat smart.i like how he says it was a white cop that saved him.

Standing or kneeling isn't a definite sign of respect. When players get hurt they often kneel in respect. Others don't kneel but are still respectful. Stand, sit, kneel, march, hoot, hollar, etc in those moments.
What demonstrates your respect is how you conduct yourself outside those moments.....the real part.

There are some protests I agree with and some protests I don't agree with.
With that in mind, I can either conduct a counter-protest or I can just respect their constitutional rights.
However, I don't see a point of bitching and moaning about it on getbig.

3) Negros will continue to protest every area of life in order to guilt whites into giving them more free shit.
4) We should tell them to fuck off and stop watching their silly sporting events so they will be forced to get real jobs.

I've had to protect KKK members during their rally, I've had to protect BLM members during their rally. I didn't agree with either group, but I respected their right to peacefully protest. That's part of what I like about our country.

BLM peaceful? lol

BLM for me.. being a career police officer, lost their credibility in 2 ways. One, they protested clearly justified shootings, almost to the point ANY deadly force used against a black person was considered police brutality. You just can't have a reasonable dialogue with people like that. 2. Some of the crowd used the protests that were initially peaceful, to take out their frustration on innocent businesses and property, making it about violence and property damage. I think at this point they are a lost cause. It's sad because there are examples where police have screwed up and need to be held accountable. There are instances where it seemed, some cops actions against minorities have been down played and consequences were little more than slaps on the wrists. We do need to talk about that. There is room for improvement.. most cops I worked with are very open to bridging that gap, but when you start saying every shooting of a black man or woman is unjust, we just can't meet in the middle on that...

I didn't know you were a cop. Maybe I did but just forgot. Thank you for doing a thankless job.
I don't think people realize how fast things happen and how little time you have to think when you are in a situation when you may need to use deadly force.
It's very easy to be a Monday morning quarterback but not so easy when you are in the line of fire and accountable for your decisions. This is an excellent video on the subject and I think people should watch.

I don’t know where you worked, but I’ve had family and friends on the job in some pretty bad parts of NYC. From what I’ve seen, most cops there are perfectly happy not to get overly involved as doing so only gets you in trouble via complaints from people looking to hit the ghetto lottery by winning a lawsuit against the city.
Sure, there are some bad cops but the reality is they are more likely to be set up than the other way around. And the idea that the police are the primary cause of the problems in the African American community is a joke.

I was in Austin Tx. I agree the concept that Cops are their biggest problem is false. But having spent 10 years in the Military policing and 24 years in the civilian world starting out as a rookie and retiring at the Commander rank I will be the first to say police departments and police in general have room for improvement and that is certainly worth discussing. But yes, in my opinion just based on my experience and talking to other officers from Departments around the country, most cops the vast majority are good cops trying to catch bad guys and serve their communities and hate bad cops more than the public does. We need to recalibrate our police unions who defend every cop almost no matter what, and we need to, when someone is identified through actions or words to not be suitable for the job, show them the door before we're watching them on CNN

If you’re going to make claims of racism in the police force. You’re going to have to explain why this racism doesn’t extend to Asians.
http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/downloads/pdf/analysis_and_planning/year-end-2016-enforcement-report.pdf
The race/ethnicity of known Robbery suspects is primarily Black (66.2%). Hispanic suspects account for an additional (27.2%) of the suspect population. White suspects account for (4.2%) of all Robbery suspects while Asian /Pacific Islanders accounted for (2.0%) of known Robbery suspects.
