I've been watching football my entire life. And I've seen unarmed Black men killed by cops my entire life.
Anyone with historical awareness KNOWS that a noose, used as a rebuke of NFL, with mostly Black players, is a filthy racist dog whistle.

(26,648 posts)We stayed in an RV park in Stugis SD a week or so after the rally. When we left we noticed a confederate flag flying over the place. It wasn't there when we pulled in or we wouldn't have stayed.
In South Dakota! Just the one confederate flag. No American flag, no state flag. WTF? and really, just WTF is wrong with people?

(33,413 posts)The evidence is overwhelming:
Colin Kaepernick was correct, heroic, and a patriot for starting the protest.
Too bad we have a thing in the White House who is completely ignorant of the 1st Amendment and its importance. Disgusting that the thing is an irredeemable racist.

(33,413 posts)Putin + Cambridge Analytica + GOP + Fox + toxically greedy rich + Nazis + white supremacists + fringe nut-jobs = the new axis powers against democracy
Putin took advantage of a mostly suppressed current of hate to advance his agenda of destabilizing democracies. Cambridge Analytica told him and the GOP what buttons to push to amplify, direct and mobilize that hate. Those caught up in it don't bother to notice that each part received different messages -- deep state, guns, racism, dogmatic religion, demons, socialism, wealth redistribution -- it's enough that they believe they must act to combat an existential threat. Fox maintains a propaganda loop to keep its viewers believing that they can't trust any other source, that anyone not believing is the enemy, and that they must keep up the fight or be wiped out.
Anyone wanting a diverse, egalitarian society is their enemy. It will take a lot of people united in purpose to save the diversity and equality achieved so far.
