Carlin's bit on pride was fantastic. it genuinely changed how i used the word "pride"
and you are spot on with your post
I'm not sure that the plethora of vid documented violence and disproportionate incarceration of black males for relatively minor crimes (pot, for example) and opposition to that falls under the label of ID pols. Those are simply facts, not a form of rhetoric for political exploitation.
By that comment you clearly do NOT understand what IP is or the primary goals and objectives. I suggest you do some research, because it's not what you think!
No prob....sometimes folks go on attack mode at even the slightest hint of religion or God is brought up. lol I haven't been on this forum for too long, but on the forum I used to frequent, some would come on there and even throw out 'prayer requests' and things they wanted their fellow fans to pray for. I've not been around here long enough to figure out if that is allowed or if that's a 'no-no' around here. But some of us had been on there for years and years.
I don't think EVERYONE who disagrees with me is an idiot. There are 4 levels in a continuous sliding scale - first there are what amounts to just differing opinions where it comes down to a matter of choice more than right or wrong. Then there are the people who disagree with me who are simply mistaken - or wrong. Next there are the people who so miss the boat that they probably do deserve to be called an idiot. After that there is an extremely small subset of posters who are just totally clueless and have trouble processing information on a consistent basis. I call those people "Levander and his alts"
I hope to be as smart as you one day
You've certainly mastered the art of being a smart arse, so at least you've got that going for you. I won't waste my time trying to explain what makes Identity politics so divisive or destructive, because you're clearly more comfortable being in the dark.
It’s pretty sad that we live in this great country and yet some still take so many little things for granted, such as our freedom. Kids can’t even pray or say the pledge of allegiance in school anymore. What the hell is the world coming to!? Respect your elders, respect and salute YOUR flag, respect and salute the military that protects you (sight unseen), and respect THIS GREAT AND FREE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN. Why try to rewrite history; respect it and learn from it. Some people need to go take a walk in Arlington national cemetery for some real perspective. Take that kneeling $hit elsewhere, unless you’re kneeling to pray for all of those soldiers who gave their lives so we could all be free. Some people just have no clue......
Identity politics are just made up words by some liebral
Kneeling to something, in general, is considered respectful. However, in this case tradition dictates that we stand, head uncovered, with our hand over our heart. Therefore anything else would be considered outside the norm (or in this case disrespectful).
LOL.
Its actually just the opposite....Kids are getting ARRESTED for not saying the Pledge...What the hell is the world coming to!?
That's not even remotely accurate.
There's an academic definition, where people sharing a particular racial, religious, ethnic, social, or cultural identity form exclusive political alliances, instead of engaging in broad-based party politics. Then there's theory put into practice, where identity is used as a tool to articulate political claims, promote political ideologies, pit one group against another and guide political action with the aim of gaining power and recognition in the context of perceived inequality or injustice. Democrats have used identity politics to divide us into ever smaller groups for decades. The Jussie Smollett incident is a direct manifestation of Identity politics and as I said earlier - toxic.

Kids are allowed to pray in school, and the pledge of allegiance is still standard in public schools though kids aren't forced to say the pledge.
How are people exercising their freedom of speech taking their freedoms for granted?
Not true. People repeating false narratives are part of the problem. That kid was arrested for making threats. The school and police specifically said the kid was not arrested for refusing the pledge. 11 years old and spewing the garbage about the flag being racist. They asked him to step out of the room 20 times before he complied and then continued on after entering the hallway. He must have a bitter parent. Bitter folks raise bitter kids who stay in trouble, but the real problem in their eyes is the system.
