I know, right? It's like whenever people of color (and supporters) complain of unfairness... there's always someone acting as if it's really no big deal and/or it's our imagination. We know plenty of people had issues with President Obama, but it primarily because he's black. Of course they'd never admit to it. I even had one guy say that blacks need to get over slavery. My response was... Ok, so on Sept 11 when we're remembering the 9/11 attacks and innocent victims... how would you feel is someone from the Middle East region said... "Americans needs to get over 9/11"
We can get over slavery, but we're not the ones hung up on it. After all we're not the ones who are all about keeping the Confederate Flag alive....
Yeah, and he probably thought you were un-American for saying that, too. Nothing amazes me when it comes to con-servatives.
Really strange things going on in America today. This denial of objective facts and the willingness to believe in conspiracy theories is the same problem they had in Nazi Germany and why the average German citizen refused to believe in the existence of Nazi extermination camps. So fucking glad the Allied forces after the war FORCED thousands of German people to march through some of those death camps to see the horror for themselves. I'm at the point now that if Trump started a war, then went on TV and denied he ever did it, most of his supporters would believe him. The problem isn't just that Trump is a pathological liar, the scary part is how willing tens of millions of Americans are to believe whatever the man claims to be the truth at the time. We've never had that combination in a POTUS before. Kennedy and Reagan were widely popular but they didn't tell repeated lies to the public or change their minds on foreign and domestic policy in literally the same sentence.
On NFL TOTAL ACCESS: Jim Brown was asked whether Colin Kaepernick, who has made waves with his decision to kneel during the national anthem and who earned "100 percent" support from Brown in August, can be a serious civil rights role model if he does not vote. "That's two questions sort, of. My wife made sure that I voted and she voted," Brown said. "I was always told that one of the greatest freedoms we have in this country is the fact that we are allowed as a part of the people to vote on our candidates. It's a privilege and it represents freedom. It represents a civil kind of approach to living. "So I am always going to vote. Who else don't vote, that's their business." Brown, who stumped for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton during her 2016 campaign, also had some thoughts on the election of president-elect Donald Trump. "I think that I was disappointed initially," Brown explained. "But then I realized with this kind of action, the things that have been revealed on the negative side of life and Mr. Trump is now president, a tremendous responsibility is going to be on his shoulders. "He's going to shake up everything everywhere, but he's going to have to be a person that uses judgment. He has to be cautious and he has to do the best things for the betterment of this country. It isn't as bad as I initially thought because with him shaking things up, it's going to bring a lot of things out of the woodwork and I think eventually it will work for the better."
ON CNN: JIM BROWN: We're not bourgeoisie, we're not above the people. But I feel in love with him because he really talks about helping African-America, black people, and that's why I'm here. BROOKE BALDWIN, CNN: You fell in love with Donald Trump today? BROWN: Well, it isn't really just about Donald Trump. It's about him in the position he occupies. That position is considered the most important person in the world. The most powerful person in the world is supposed to be the president. When he goes through what he went through to become the President, he’s got my admiration. Because no one game him a chance. You know they called him names. people that called him names when he won, he reached back and brought them along with him. He held no grudges” So who am I to say I played quarterback when I played running back?..." *(oddly he now says he was talking about "Pastor Darrell Scott" whom he fell in love with - obviously people got in his ear, lol) ***** "The three greatest people in my life were white, OK. My high school coach, my high school superintendent and my mentor in Manhasset, Long Island,".."When I come out of the box, I don't come out of the box as racial - I look for good people and people that will be like-minded and help me try to try to do good for other human beings.".. "The president of the United States brought me," Brown said. "My president. He won it fair and square. He's going to be our man for the next four years, at least. Probably eight. He's amenable to listening to people who did not vote for him.""... .."But the reception I got today from him? I'll always remember that. Because he listened to us and he knows we can bring something to him to help the people of this country," Brown said. CNN: What did Brown and Trump discuss during the meeting? "We talked about making America a better country," Brown said. "We talked about the poor people. We talked about the African-American people. We talked about education, getting rid of violence and dealing with economic development realistically and how to work together."
Trump’s 17 cabinet-level picks have more money than a third of American households combined http://qz.com/862412/trumps-16-cabi...than-a-third-of-american-households-combined/
Surprising our resident Republicans/Trump supporters have been utterly quiet on this. Here's a lesson for you kids stop voting for the people who make it clear in blaring neon lights. They don't give a single fuck about anyone but themselves. They keep showing you over and over again. I bet all that Hilary email nonsense seems pretty trivial in comparison to the bs going on now. I don't hate telling you I told you so because it needs to be said. Now that we've established where the wrong was made hopefully we can move forward with our eyes wide open because this shit is only going to get worst much much much worst.
No, you're wrong. All that simply means is that Trumps picks can't be bought and they know how to get things done because they're business men. At least, that's what they'll tell you. They haven't suffered, yet. It won't him home to them until they feel it. Even then, they will maje excuse and blame it on the Obama administration some how. The working class, Hillary haters are going to be so salty.
I forgot we live in a post fact world. What's funny is dude is showing the entire world he can be bought and he'll sell the working class out in the process. More tax cuts for the rich and making business deals in Japan with his daughter. This is literally some shit out of a movie.
