VERY well said and I totally agree. The entire white privilege movement is not only a waste of time, but it is a very naïve and ignorant movement. It's not helping anything at all and it is not in anyway constructive. I'm tired of seeing the real problems drowned out by the social justice warrior morons who don't understand that they're actually fanning the flames of racial disparity, despite them thinking that they are helping it.
I also totally agree that if you're going to march as a social justice warrior, then you better be prepared to take in the full focus of it and not just cherry pick what fits your agenda. Charlotte is a special case of stupid, because not only was it based on a lie, but it was a black cop who shot a black man. Which then led to a protest, where another black man shot another black man.
Talk about having the problem wrapped up in a pretty little bow.
Don't like this country? ....... you're free to leave
All the REAL African-Americans I know love this country. Shame there are so many black americans that don't feel the same.
And don't just blame the whiteys.....some TRUE african americans don't like to be called "african american" because they feel it lumps them in with black americans.
This is the most garbage post I've ever seen. I grew up mostly without my father in my life and did that lead me to automatically go on some sort of crime spree? No. I actually think I became a better person by not having to rely on my parents as much for anything and working hard to make a better life for myself than what I grew up with. There are deadbeat parents regardless of gender, race, religion, etc. You don't know how these people grew up or what circumstances they have had to deal with and for you to say that is just complete ignorance.
You know black people that aren't "bad or anything"?? lol
Yeah who cares if there is injustice in the country? Because at least it is better than Africa.
There is so much wrong with this post I thought it was satire at first. There is so much wrong I don't even know where to start.
For those who had a knee jerk reaction to the Husker players who knelt, Michael Rose-Ivey gave a pretty solid explanation of what the purpose of it was. And the fact that some people reacted so poorly to it just reinforces the need for attention to the racial issues we have in our country. He's a thoughtful, eloquent young man and I'm proud that he's a Husker.
The fact that this has resulted in a meeting with the Governor of Nebraska, who firmly disagreed with his actions (who I also strongly believe doesn't understand the depth of what has urged MRI to do this), is evidence enough that it has resulted in "something". He also plans to meet with the Omaha PD once the season is over (from what I've been told). Throw in the conversations and awareness this has spurred, and I think it has already proven to be a meaningful exercise.

There's so many things factually wrong with this post, I honestly don't even know where to begin.
I live in the city center of one of the top ten police shooting incidents (with fatalities) cities in the U.S., so people in my community ARE being killed as are our police officers. The difference is that although my city has these issues the racial demographics don't fit the false narrative being spread so it is largely ignored. So yeah... that pretty much destroys that theory.
The real problem here is a disconnect in some communities about proper safe behavior when being confronted by officers. The time to dispute treatment or anything is not in those crucial moments when being confronted it's later. Comply to stay safe and say your piece once everyone is secure. It's not that big of a deal.
By the way I have been thrown to the ground with a boot on my back with a gun in face because my car was the same color as a drive by perps. I did everything they said to the best of my ability after my original dumb behavior and even got an apology. I don't really blame them, looking back they could have mistaken my noncompliance as scheming for a tactical advantage. I almost got killed because I was impatient and insensitive to the seriousness of the events.
Hold up. So some of you think white privilege is a joke. Just a made up term by minorities.
Oh god. I can't entertain this stupidity.
Oh god. I can't entertain this stupidity.
Omg......Mexicans/Latinos don't ever complain and are the most hard working people and best family oriented people among races.
They don't say anything bad about whites or white privilege. I wish all races could be more like them.
I'm white and I wish whites were more like Latinos. But let's just stop this thread let's focus on football team.
Thank you I will because I just wanna talk football and not read stupid stuff like you so bye Felicia! Also burning down cities is peaceful protests lol ok. Their are ways to do their protests without disrespecting veterans mr. Internet tough guy why don't you list into the army/navy/guard. But storm I'm done reading this stupid thread

If you're tired of this thread stop posting and responding.. Pretty simple... Just accept the fact that black people have the right to a peaceful protest due feeling that injustices are a part of this country and black peoples history in this country.. And now the protest has been taken to the grid iron.. It's football, it's life, it's real, gotta deal..
Threatening a young person is much worse than kneeling for the anthem. I strongly disagree with the kneeling but making threats over using our 1st Amendment rights should be dealt with harshly.
I can get behind THIS thought. No one should be punished or threatened for utilizing the rights all Americans are supposedly guaranteed in the US Constitution. Whether it's guns or protest, those parts of our laws (Bill of Rights, Constitution, etc.) should apply equally and without regard to ethnicity, income, background or any other damn thing.
But but but.....Barack.....he solved it. Hope and change. Take your protests to the south side of Chicago on any given weekend. Enjoy!!
Absolutly not, but you can go there and express your feelings if you like.. I'm sure if you had the Brass do to that it would go over well.. So you enjoy! But let me ask you this? What does players kneeling at the Nebraska game have to do with the south side of Chicago.. Was there an unarmed man shot by the police there?? Man I swear ever time I try to end this Some one drags me back in!! SoBeIt... No way will I ever defend or accept what those players went thru after their protest to be right..
It's all about equality and an absolute due process. With as much media attention this has received, I'm surprised so many people don't understand the issue.
Come on man you know what he means. He can't outright say it but you know what he means. I am amazed that so many white males seem to know for a fact that groups other than them are not oppressed or treated differently in anyway. Their attitude comes off as geez shut your mouth and quick complaining you are getting a free education for playing a game for my entertainment. I just don't want you get to uppity on me since you were lent a hand. Oh and you are american not African American (From the same dude who tells everyone he can drink a lot because he is Irish)
I was married to a minority. I can assure you bias does exist. Until you walk a mile in their shoes you have no right to tell them how they should feel.
Mexicans and Latinos? You realize Latinos are all races don't you. There are Latinos with African heritage. The same goes for Mexico. In Mexico white Mexicans control the economy.
I can assure you that Mexicans do complain. They also have every right to.
It's not respecting veterans. The anthem didn't even exist until the 1930s
