I’m exhausted. I propose a truce. We have all said our peace. Ironically, I bet if we all met at a bar for a beer we would all become good friends.
No in the hospital setting where I’ve only had 10 patients so far I specifically remember all my patients. I’ve had 5 blacks, 4 whites and 1 Hispanic. Just the 3 that I had the best connection with have so happened to be black.
I’m not sure why you’re trying so hard to paint me as a racist just because we have different opinions on standing for the flag.
I said that also on page 2 of this thread
So. As stimulating as this political debate is on a sports forum can we at least try to stick to the original post? I’ve never served nor am I a minority. So honestly it doesn’t really tear me up one way or another. It doesn’t affect my daily life. I haven’t worn Nikes since I was a kid because I personally find them rather garish and not particularly well made but to each his own. I have feet that tend to hurt so I wear new balance.
The only reason I would disagree with Nike using Kapernick in a big campaign is that he’s truly irrelevant to me. He’s not a very good football player, and if this whole thing hadn’t blown up we wouldn’t have heard from him in years. I don’t think his protest is particularly groundbreaking or well thought out. It’s not helping minorities from getting shot by cops sometimes and it’s just riling people up: he’s IMO committed the sin of trying to make himself the story. Could be the right cause and the wrong person as far as I’m concerned. You can agree with the message without having to pump up the messenger.
I still had some fight left in me back then.
You can read it in the morning
Never called you racist, you must have assumed that of yourself. I said you might need some cultural exposure. Go check all of the post where I addressed you. Got s link to that patient census? You lost my confidence when you put out those weak stats. Yet again you remember the race of all your patients that is a telling sign. Keep living life young man.
Man, once again you are looking for racism in everything. Your passive-aggressive BS is childish. You are absolutely calling people racist...but not calling people racist. It’s weak and played-out.
Some truce, huh. I only provided a mirror. The reflection you see is up to you. I would never set in a bar with you. I’m almost sad we enjoy the same team. Probably dap you up if we won the Natty that’s about it.
The weekend can’t get here fast enough..
What mirror? All you did was play “gotcha” and try to make the case that white people are racist. You see racism in everything. You are a judgmental race-baiter. It’s kind of sad you have determined I’m also a racist. You wouldn’t even have a beer with me. Anyone who disagrees with you is a racist. That is what you have done this whole thread.
By the way, I support Kap’s right to protest and his cause.I just don’t approve of his methods.
I respect everyone’s personal opinions on both side of the aisle.
My personal belief -
It’s a free market.
Show me where I personally called you a racist. I would have pretzels with you. You have no empathy for anyone who you don’t “approve” of . Sad to know Dawg fans like you exist.
Anyone need a cookie?
Speaking as a young black male id rather not comment on the topic of anything political or racial here can we keep it strictly football this whole post basically almost made me not wanna come back
Military does not own the flag
I thought we already talked about this in the offseason keep politics away during the season. I am a black man and Kapernick is my hero that doesn’t mean people who serve my country aren’t my hero’s.And to hear the opposite opinion really makes me feel a type of way.I come here to talk UGA football especially during the season.If I wanted to talk politics I would be on a CNN board.Please no more topics of this especially during the season of these debates.
I wish I could kill this thread so much
I see you haven't been here long. Better buckle that seat belt. This is not uncommon.
