Just saying but the guys that need to answer this question refuse. Not one reply. Go figger. Also the mail in voting. They sure fucked themselves on that. "I'm too scared to go out and vote".
You see, under normal circumstances, while there is an ongoing deadly virus outbreak caused by inept president and his advisers, it is a legal and a legitimate request made by people to vote via mail, so that they can remove at least the virus occupying The White House, or the bunker in it.

Mostly black protesters decided it is worth risking corona infection to express their decades long struggle to stay alive if confronted by police for no or trivial reasons. When you one day maybe finally figure out that it's a white privilege just walking on the street without the fear of being stopped by police for no apparent reason, then you might have a chance of understanding what really is going on.

It is obvious to me that further conversation with you and a few others on this board is meaningless, considering not one of you had even a smallest issue with the "blacks are more racist than whites" statement. So, from now on I'll just post these photos, videos and tweets that expose fascist government and their armed forces, not expecting any replies, since I won't see them anyway, due to "ignore" button use. I've heard and seen enough, there is nothing new I can learn by reading your posts.

Oh Malcolm, the double standard by the left will never get old for me.

Dak Prescott in 2018: "I never protest during the anthem, and I don't think that's the time or the venue to do so," Prescott said last month. "The game of football has always brought me such a peace, and I think it does the same for a lot of people, a lot of people playing the game, a lot of people watching the game, a lot of people that have any impact of the game. So when you bring such a controversy to the stadium, to the field, to the game, it takes away. It takes away from that. It takes away from the joy and the love that football brings to a lot of people.

HOF RB Jim Brown in 2018: “I’ll never kneel and I will always respect the flag,” said Brown, who spoke before an HBO premiere of “Hard Knocks,” which is chronicling the Cleveland Browns in training camp.

“I am not going to denigrate my flag and I’m going to stand for the national anthem. I’m fighting with all of my strength to make it a better country, but I don’t think that’s the issue. Because what is the top side? Are you not going to stand up? This is our country, man.

So Malcolm is Dak not your friend anymore now? Are you going to disrespect one of the greatest runningbacks to ever step on a NFL Field? No? Then don't be mad at Brees for saying what Dak and Jim Brown said.

I’m a Brees fan, but he did sure mess up today.

That being said, he should be given a chance to clarify himself. If he doesn’t then the criticism is fully warranted.

Nah man. He had to be living under the rock to not know what the kneeling was about, especially after what transpired the last 10 days. He's spending 6 months a year with black guys, do you think nobody explained that to him already?

A police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by an African American than the other way around. Where is the outrage?
How often do those two groups go to prison for it?

I'm reasonable, if they both go to prison at a similar clip (1 murder = 1 equivalent prison stint) that's the kind of stat that would make me open to changing my mind (assuming there's nothing funky going on with the counting etc). But if there's a major discrepancy, that's where the outrage is.

Its sad how our country has gone downhill. I’m praying it gets better and fast. It seemed back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s it was awesome then 9/11 happened but we all came together. I would say 5 years later around 2006 till the present there is so much hatred and division. We need that to stop now.

Even this is totally unnecessary.

sometimes you just have to watch and accept two wrongs go at it while the answer has been right under their nose from the get go
I can't take morons like drew brees or ed reed seriously
great footballers but with the consciousness of a toothpick.

Well you again ignored the questions about the amount of crimes perpetuated and the deaths of officers and then turn around and say the virus was caused by Trump. China caused it but whatever.

Since you are on ignore I have to inform others but all states have absentee ballots that you can request and it gets documented who requests it and most states have early voting where you vote before Election Day and its something I use cuz a lot of times idk what I'm going to be doing jobwise. So you can vote like that LEGALLY or you can wait to election day where safety procedures would be enacted. Mail in voting while not rife with fraud in the past now has the strong potential to be since ballots are sent out to anybody. Dead people, people who have been inactive (dead people again or people who may have moved). These ballots can end up in the hands of anybody. Then we have ballot harvesting. 7 of the 9 house seats in Cali that were lost to democrats the republicans were leading after the general election and absentee votes and then it turned around with the ballot harvesting counts where in some instances it lasted days after the elections. Ballot harvesting is people going to peoples houses, encouraging people to vote and of course sometimes "helping" them vote. Could be with a cash payout too, Ballots also could be discarded you know maybe a person has a Trump sign in their yard or vice versa. So the chain of command sucks and its not secure. An ID should also be required!!!!! Dont tell me its racist or oppressive cuz then I'm gonna want full explanation why a person cant get an ID.

What happened in 2006 time frame that started this dramatic shift toward this division? We had seemed to be moving toward a color blind society and now we are in civil war. The escalation is breath taking. Riots across the nation destroying businesses and homes where people who live in difficult situations but had employment will not tomorrow. It’s the common man that is being fucked by these actions not “the man”.

Raging violence which clearly requires police or national guard action will create 1,000,000 more opportunities for another act of injustice. People scanning the internet for any post from God knows where and frames a situation however the poster wants it to appear on both right and left to inflame and escalate the hatred and division.

Charges are thankfully being filed against the police in the incident and are severe. Too many instances in the past were let go and that’s a major reason why we are here but action is finally being taken in this case.

So perhaps we can stop burning the entire nation to the ground? Thanks.

Voting is the only way we'll make any changes. For how long this has been happening, for as long as police as mistreated blacks just because of their skin color. The same senators who have held office for decades, have done nothing. The mayors and governers we vote for on the local level fail to hold their police accountable for their disgusting actions.

You want change? Vote those out who do nothing and vote people in who will bring the change we want. Our current government is not interested in this change as they rather do nothing while only furthering the divide in the country they divided to begin with.
