Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

The flag is not an American symbol for freedom. If anything that is what the confederate flag was. Your flag is just a representation of its countries constituent parts and history. You love the heart holding when you want yet disregard it or excuse it when a political point is being made.....

Hi Pete. People who flew the Confederate flag shot and killed people flying the American flag. End of discussion.

Political correctness gone mad Pete.

Bull$h1t...every time you spout out idiocy and get called out on it for what it is--idiocy, you then lapse back into the whole "I'm just trying to get people to see both sides...make people think" nonsense. This is such an infantile and condescending tactic, if that's what you're actually claiming to do.

You always resort to personal abuse, why ? Are you not used to having anyone question your views other than students ?...

 

[peteblue]

Okay, sure, whatever you say...

This whole exchange could be summed up by "Peteblue has an opinion: he doesn't like black NFL players taking a knee". Why make it more complicated than that Pete?

Who said anything about black people ?.....

Excellent article Bruce, which some on here should read. I especially liked this bit...

"For private universities, the best practice is to insist that what matters is the quality of the argument, not whether it fits with the political convictions of the professor, the majority of the student body, the local community, or the president of the United States."

I see the Dallas Cowboys have now come up with another variant, all kneeling then all standing for the Anthem.....

Who said anything about black people ?.....

The entire reason for the protests, started by black NFL players, is due to ill treatment of black people by government forces (police) and lack of justice for black people from government institutions (courts).

I'm pleased you read Cass Sunstein's article and pulled a quote to share. Your choice of quote is ironic though as the quality of your argument in this matter is sorely lacking.

Verreauxi suggested I was referring to black players, which I have not done, irrespective of the reasons for this 'protest'.

The quality of my argument is matched to the quality of the counter points. Perhaps if you could raise your game a bit.....

So with that last line, you admit that your arguments are [Poor language removed]? What's going on here Pete?

Your game here appears only to be to annoy the Americans on this board.

You marginalised what the confederate flag stands for and represents, you brought up the number of presidents who've owned slaves, you compared a young black man protesting to the actions of ISIS and ridiculed his first amendment rights and you keep trying to drag the discussion away from what it's mostly about, civil rights.

You may not be referring to black players directly, but you're swimming damned close to the edge.

You said, "who said anything about black people"? I responded appropriately. The entire protest is about treatment of black people in the United States.

Putting the word protest in quotes indicates a dismissive attitude toward the actors involved and the premise of their argument. That speaks directly to verreauxi's assertion. If you care to make a cogent argument otherwise, I'm willing to listen.

Your rhetorical equivalent of "I know you are but what am I" in response to my post is not raising your game, pete. Sadly, it is a further dive down into irrelevance in this discussion.

 

[verreauxi]

You always resort to personal abuse, why ? Are you not used to having anyone question your views other than students ?...

You spout out idiocy, pure and simple. As an example, see your second reply below to me about "who said anything about black people". You are so intellectually lazy it is embarrassing. You're not questioning anyone's views, you're just talking crap.

 

[verreauxi]

Who said anything about black people ?.....

And black people came up several times during this exchange; see page 739 for example. As well as the numerous photos posted here too. But it is obviously too much to hope that you would actually read anyone else's posts.

Mansplaining MLK to MLKs own daughter is an interesting move

It also doesn't even make sense. What isn't peaceful about this protest?
