Oooh! Your feelings are hurt!!

Look, Ive only read two of your replies to my posts, this is my 2nd.

I just walked in the door. I'm eating a BBQ plate from one of THE BEST places here in Charlotte. I'm gonna enjoy this grub. Afterwards, if I feel like it, I'll review your other two replies and we'll go from there. If not, it'll be tomorrow. Maybe.

In closing, it's all good. Get back widcha later, or maybe in the morning sometime. I gotta feeling you and I aren't all that far apart in our feelings/opinions.

Until later, later.

I'm sure many wont even click on your article to read it...as it may, (pause for effect), have an impact on their viewpoint.
The article (or study I should say) does give some support for the fact there is some level of racial bias (call it whatever word you want, racism being the strongest term which I think is overused) due to the fact that blacks and hispanics are more likely to have a physical altercation with the cops vs. whites.
I sympathize with the minorities in this country. I do feel there is an element of privileged and non-privileged when it comes to race and how we are treated by those we come into contact with on a daily basis. I also have seen way too many times that those people who take ownership/responsibility for their actions and who treat others well and work hard are successful people - regardless of race and often regardless of what situation they were born in. I still do sympathize with those who have a tougher mountain to climb due to factors out of their control - I feel that for all races because poverty is certainly color blind.
My own experiences with cops has been limited. On two occasions in my life have I ever interacted with an officer in which I was the one being questioned...one black officer in Taliaferro County, GA was as nice as he could be to me and one white cop in Cobb County, GA was a complete d*ck....and I'm a white guy. So it really leads me to the fact that cops are made up of the general population - and the general population consist of great people, honest people, servant leaders, jerks, racists, good parents, bad parents, those subject to addiction, and every other trait you can think of. No other job in this country requires what the job of a police officer requires and so they stand out like a sore thumb vs. say accountants as a whole, teachers as a whole, etc. - and I think what this article shows (and other statistics I've seen) is that when it comes to life and death situations there is not a racial bias....but when you look at the OVERALL picture, then yes, there is a racial bias that shows up....but not quite on the level it is portrayed.
Moral of the story? Impact your small area of influence in life for the better and Treat others as you'd like to be treated

I agree 100% with what was stated within that post.

I assume such confuses you. Well, don't know what to tell you other than such simply isn't my problemo.

Please do not tell people who disagree with your opinion that you "need to educate" them. Your opinion is it's OK to protest in the manner they are. Others of us disagree. Accept our opinion without being condescending. I believe the NFL players should not protest while at work. Once they report to work and put on their uniforms, they need to follow policies outlined which includes standing for the Anthem. They may protest during non work hours like the rest of us. They can file their paperwork to hold a demonstration, provided they pay the fee and protest in the designated areas that are set aside for such activities just like the rest of us. Entertainers as a whole should not be given platforms that we do not have to air their opinions. If a media type isn't asking us our opinion on the issues on a regular basis, entertainers should not be given that access. My opinion, not a wrong opinion and one that comes from a highly educated individual.

Yeah man, no problem!! Seriously, and with all due respect, I'll be be delighted to further discuss all this with you. Thing is, right now I'm on my 6th or 7th Budweiser, I'm munching out fairly intensely, and in all honesty, will be out like a light within the next 30-45 mins Max!!

If you could sorta summarize all your questions (I know, and I mean no insult, it's just that I've already drank too much, and I'm just minutes from calling it a night) so that it'd be easier for me to conjugate in the morning, then yeah, I'd be glad to participate in furthering mine and your conversation!! Again, and With All Due Respect, I'll be glad to proceed with you n the a.m.!

In closing, please, I mean no disrespect or insult to you by any means!! I'm just too tired and too drunk to proceed tonight. If I have offended or upset you, why I offer my full and honest apology!!

Sincerely,

A_N

And one other thing. My replies to your previous 3 posts (i.e. your replies to several of my posts) were rude and inconsiderate. I apologise for my alcohol influenced ignorance!! Honestly, I do not drink every day. Can't. Getting too old!! Tonight was/is game night here in Charlotte, and I hit a bar w/ a few buddies for the first two quarters. I'm usually not such a smartarse, so please, don't take ANY of my relies personally!! I apologise for my rudeness. I do not believe that you deserved such!!

Why start a damn fight here? Our national anthem didn't even become that until the 1930's. We did fine without one through the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and WWI. In addition, there hasn't been a Carolina team on the field when the Anthem is played...ever.

I won't make a statement here as to how I feel about player protests. To do so would be hypocritical in light of what I wrote above.

Great point...I'm a 59 year old guy , voted in every election since 1976 and only voted for a Democrat once, I held my nose and voted for Clinton this year. I'm also a Libertarian but thought Gary Johnson was nuts.
Just couldn't vote for the clown aka Trump

Look at what Trump has done for the ecomomy. Man, my 401K is shooting through the top. Are the black offenders in Chicago being targeted unfairly? re more blacks committing murders in Chicago than any other group of people? Speaking of statistics you need to take a course.

Yep. That's right. Obama is more of a dictator than Trump. And Bernie is certainly a dictator if anyone ever saw one.

Obama, Bernie, Clinton... all requiring blind allegiance to the nation. Spoke openly about curtailing freedom of speech and anyone who opposed them. Trump would never do or say anything like that.

Spend some time looking at Nazi propaganda. Please.

The best BBQ near Charlotte is about 40 miles west outside Shelby called Red Bridges. It’s the best. I’ve been going there since 1953, I think it opened in the 40’s.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but this is a fireable offense, or at least, that's what he said...
 
I think one thing most people are overlooking is that a large percentage of the ones that are mad at the players protesting, whether it be taking a knee or raising afist or whatever, are not even mad so much about "disrespecting" the flag or military. They are mad and are boycotting or complaining because they don't agree with what the protests are about. Like, they think that the protesting players are wrong about police brutality and racism and oppresion of minorities, so that is why they are mad at those players. Again, I'm not saying that most of the mad white people are mad because of that. I think the majority probably are upset about whatthey see as "disrespecting" the flag, but a larger percentage than you think are upset for that other reason. Sometimes it makes me ashamed to be white,

Laughable.. But to be honest, I unlike you apparently, Have no idea why everyone (else) hates the Players disrespecting the Flag, The Police and everything the Anthem stands for.. I could not care less if they protest by kneeling outside of BofA stadium, or in a park or anyplace not blocking traffic or disrupting the hard working men and women. I dont care the Race or sex of said Protesters.. I just disagree with them doing it while they are at work and their customers do not approve of it.. Hell if half of my customers told me they dont like the shirt that my Truckdriver, that delivers to them, Wears, trust me, he wouldnt wear it anymore PERIOD!! But again, I, unlike many posters on here, can only speak for my thoughts..

You libs who condemn Trump with every breath defended (and still defend) Bill Clinton at every turn, who was a serial liar.

Maybe he should be focused on doing his job instead of this. All he does is tweet and he's not even good at that.

Remember when chuck tried to get you to man up and say you were wrong, after years of running around barking like a chihuahua claiming Obama WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE WHITEHOUSE because you believed he would claim marshall law and take over the US? You avoided that thread like the plague and never admitted you were wrong.

Good times... I hope this 'unnamed poster' is as ashamed of themselves as you should be.

Again, your comments littered on Smalltalk tell a much different story. You DO care if they protest, shall we dig up a few of your asinine comments about protesters?

Also, your customers... are these customers aware that you knowingly hire illegal workers?

So how do we fix it. Blaming the country for personal failures. Tearing down a bunch of statutes does nothing. History is supposed to be learned, not copied. Freedom means keeping the government out of our lives to make decisions for ourselves. Life is all about making choices and which path to follow. Society owes you nothing. Muschamp talks about “want to” all the time. We all have to want to make something of ourselves and willing to work hard to get there. The worst thing we have done as a society is create gov’t
handouts because all they’ve done is create a culture of dependency. Success isn’t measured by who’s got the biggest checkbook, it’s feeling good about yourself. If you don't like who you are or who’ve become, then do something about it. But stop blaming everyone else or the country because you couldn’t accept responsibility for your life.

To be fair, he's trying to bypass the media. He sucks at it, but I'd rather information come straight from me than from the media too. He just says stupid things all the time, so it doesn't help him.
