Bravo!

Get a clue.

You think the first amendment means someone can't be thought of as a pos???? What you smoking?

Buuuuut. Somebody here was implying it's unpatriotic. So POS all you want just don't infer it's not patriotic to stand for what you believe.

He didn't stand. He knelt. While shitting on America. At his multi million dollar job. Where many go to escape politics.

While poor you couldn't escape politics for two minutes think about the people who deal with racists every day of their lives. Police brutality on their streets. A system of incarceration and exploitation. Good on him to be humble enough to stand for others when he's so wealthy and important.

That's a clever gotcha about the standing part. Oh boy! I'm so embarrassed! Called out by a troll who wouldn't know metaphor if it took a knee on his nuts.

Holy shit you drank the Kool aid.

Crapperdick was raised by two white people that adopted him. Oh the racism!

Whatever. Either team owners know he sucks or they don't want cancer in their locker room.

And you wouldn't know irony. Never knew you were so thin skinned. Need a juice box?

You found a couple people not racist. There are a lot of people who aren't. It doesn't take a ton of them to wreck somebody's day. Especially if they have a badge and a bad attitude.

Just to emphasize. You're too afraid of social issues to have to face them for the average of 1 minute 57 seconds it takes to sing the National Anthem. Wear your privilege much?

It's because his protest is so effective, done at the right time, and for the right reason, that drives racist Trumpers out of their minds. I mean, how dare he, a black man with that big of an afro, kneel of all things, during the nation's anthem, and to protest the killing of black people (of all people)? I mean really, how f-ing dare he! @@

Can black people be racist?

Let's not get off of the historic and institutional racism that still rules this country. Just because something runs both ways doesn't mean that we don't need to act to change our society.

Name me one case of institutionalized racism on the books. Besides discriminating against people at work or school based on their skin color. It's SO prevalent you must have a few examples!

LOL " Besides discriminating against people at work or school based on their skin color." You just named one yourself. And why is that example of institutional racism in the US being disqualified? Here's FIVE more:

Pick up a book. Pick up a newspaper. Pick up a magazine. Outside your little neo-con bubble. You'll learn a thing or two. Not my job to teach every denier in the World that they're ignoring the World around them.

I just keep finding them. Huh.

HAHAHAHAHA

That's what I thought. You got nothing. Typical whiny leftist.

YOU'VE got nothing, silly-assed racist.

@ minicraplols

It's called affirmative action, you slow dipshit. You know, the institutionalized racism you accept because it discriminates against whites and Asians in education.

Surely some of the people you would think of as racists of color are likely, very likely just pissed that the system is rigged and that many many people deny that it is.

And the other one who chimed in with his two cents below, is a white supremacist Trump lover from another country.

I'm finding that out.

So sez the anti white black supremacist.

What happened to Floyd wasn't institutionalized racism, dummy. You've as yet to prove it had to do with race at all.

But okay, institutionalized racism is a scourge in America yet you can't name a single current one. Epic fail.

Anything this century?

I linked you a video elsewhere.
But how about George Floyd. Killed on the street while 3 other officers looked on with bystanders pleading to let him breathe. Recent enough for you? Plenty of other vids and bodycams of brutality against unarmed people of all types while fellow officers look on. Again if you're too lazy just tell me.

Wait, I thought Repugs loved going back 200 years to prove stuff though...

Here's one that'll make you cream your pants probably https://www.facebook.com/bevin.mcleod/videos/10223786909807631/

@Fat_Elvis I included a link to my source so of course I'm not going to regurgitate the entire article.It's there for all to read if they so choose. I summarized the part relevant to the formation of PDs in the South. It's not like the Boston PD being first spread across the country to replace all of the PDs of the South. I'm also not making any claim that the PDs of the South spread out either.

I am encouraged that you took time to look over the article. It shows a willingness to engage with the information. It's more than I can say for many others I've had the pleasure of speaking with here.

So is having night watchmen be the origin of Southern state's police departments not a terrible origin? Was it too long ago to have knock-on effects? When we look at many aspects of society it would seem we haven't ever shaken Jim Crow completely. Inequity abounds and if you don't ascribe it to something systemic what exactly do you ascribe it to?

You can't name an institutionalized instance. What do?

How about the police force started as night watchmen to capture runaway slaves in the South. Do you think the culture of something that started that way just rubs off over time?
Now that I got the ball rolling you got it from here.

In the South, however, the economics that drove the creation of police forces were centered not on the protection of shipping interests but on the preservation of the slavery system. Some of the primary policing institutions there were the slave patrols tasked with chasing down runaways and preventing slave revolts, Potter says; the first formal slave patrol had been created in the Carolina colonies in 1704.

Syd, even the article egos is linking to, contradicts what egos said in this post.

Yes, egos quoted the part that starts "In the south..." which apparently flew right past egos' brain, because the words "In the south" were a giant clue that that section of the article applied to... I know you're ready for it, but is egos? Yes, it applied to the south.

Apparently when you're desperate to try and prove institutional racism in the police, you entirely skip the institution known as the free north, and focus on the slave era south. Yeah, that's the ticket, hey egos?

The same article also points out: "The first publicly funded, organized police force with officers on duty full-time was created in Boston in 1838." Something tells me this police force was not "started as night watchmen to capture runaway slaves in the South." as egos tries to claim as the genesis for police in the US.

So once again it appears we have a snowflake who feels they can cherry pick certain "facts" from an article, ignore other "facts" from the same article, all in an attempt to prove their point.

I haven't dealt with egos before on imgflip, as far as I recall, but if this is the level of intellect displayed, and reflects the amount of effort egos puts into posting... then egos is not even worthy of an argument.

So now being upset excuses racism.

Oh you funny libtards and your rules.

Fix the institutional kind and there won't be as much to hold against whites. See? It'll help stomp out racism all around.

@Elvis

I had dealt with him before in non politics streams and I thought he was okay. Didn't know he was a disingenuous cherry picking tds libtard. Then he seethes at me without actually replying to me because he was so utterly assblasted that he couldn't name a single policy that was institutional and racist. People like this watch Colbert and think it's actual news, while they sip their Kool aid and soy. So many new idiots lately. Makes you wish for the days that liberals had a better class of debaters on here.

Stand?

Fudge. That was a dumb typo.

NOBODY in these pictures are pieces of shit you idiot. -_- their simply people whom believe in different things. That’s it, that’s all. Try to be a kind loving person instead of an evil jerkass. Thanks.

You can't help yourself, I get that. Try to learn something in this life, and you might want to pick up a dictionary. Oh! it would help if you stopped living in your parent's basement.

Like his hero Drumpf, the military are just props to him.

One gave his life for what he believed in, the other doesn't share the cash he gets for his beliefs. If Kaper cared so much he should show it.

How do you know? Does Kapernack share his expenditures with you?

Since 2016 Kaepernick has donated 7 figures to charity.... apparently this is either not enough money or irrelevant because it was a tax write-off(?) idk

It's interesting to watch people attempt to demonize a peaceful protestor though.

Is trump a piece of shit?

Then why can't Krapperdick be a piece of shit?

Because if shit kneeled on one knee, it would lose its balance and topple over instead of making money for wasting time on the company dime and staying home while others march (and some riot) and for far longer than an anthem,,,

He had ample opportunity as a person of privilege to spread his message outside of work.

The NFL has taken the position that taking a knee is okay. So Tuck Frump.

We saw how giving in worked out for the Boy Scouts

And people will stay away in droves like last time.

Except they didn't.

Hahaha okay. The selective memory of a libtard, folks!

Noticeable presence at those marches lately - LYING IN HIS JACUZZI AT HOME WITH SOME HOT THANG ON HER KNEES!

Why are Trumpers always so hateful?

Wow, how mature of you! NOT!! -_-

"it would help if you stopped living in your parent's basement"

just like that your true colors were revealed you cuck
