Don't Expect Any Protests During National Anthem from Hawkeyes

PCHawk said:
There is a lot to respond to in this but I'll start with what you said at the end. Taking a knee during the national anthem isn't about killing racism. It's about getting one race to quit being racist towards the other. If it were about uniting all races it would be a lot better.

Also in regards to your kids getting treated poorly. Kids are mean. That's one thing I will preach to my kids. Don't be mean to other kids.

The other thing to teach them is to be confident in who they are. I think that's a big problem with the black culture. Some are raised with a woe is me attitude. You don't cringe when you hear someone say Jew. Do you know why? Because Jewish people don't make a big deal of it. I would say they had it pretty bad in their history but they don't have a woe is me attitude. Red heads sure don't care if you say ginger. White people don't care about cracker. But you have to say "the N word" because you cringe if you actually say it. The only difference between that word and any other derogatory term is how the black community responds to it. You said they aren't comfortable in their own skin? I say they should be because being black is cool in a lot of ways. Be proud of who you are and no one can ever offend you.

I think you took a bit of liberty on that one. Game on Saturday.

Honestly that conversation is probably better in person because I would have to write a book to get my point across.

Aw Dean, there you go again. You honored your PM truce (with rants and name calling) about 3 minutes.

What the hell man? My wife has red hair so I don't appreciate you posting a pic of someone turning their nose up at a red head. Be a little more sensitive to other people's feelings next time.

Now that is funny.... but not the same. I thought Red Heads were smarter than that anyway.
Is she red tinted like this one? There is so much in these...

You really don't get it... Oh well.
Those commercials are quite sexist though, especially the way the one ends with the book. That is how a lot of what we say is hurtful due to race. Later on you might get it. Back when those commercials came out, few thought much about it. The commercial was directed at men, not women. Not sure who the Dove/Unilever commercials were directed at.

I really don't get it tho. It's so backwards from how I think. I wish I could make any sense of it but I can't. It's not from lack of trying.

I don't watch much TV anymore. I am old and married with some kids still in the home, so maybe it's about me?. I'm too old to be doing that.
