    Your marxist obsession and fear is even loonier than usual. Where do you get it? I wouldn't know Karl from Groucho.

    So anyone whose politics are to the left of Barry Goldwater is a marxist?

    How does one take you seriously when so many of your posts are hyperbolic nonsense?

    The novel idea of taking nationalism out of sport.
    Why have the national anthem before sporting events in the first place ?

    Take military recruitment out of sport. Why endless parading
    Point being de-emphasize the false glories of colonialism and exceptionalism

    I notice you put this in the Race thread when actually the word " shot" appears in all 3 instances you cite

    So it is not police brutality or civil rights (BLM) you are speaking of but comprehensive gun reform

    My three guns sat in my living room the entire weekend and never fired once.

    I guess I have well behaved guns?

    No I don’t want to see anything happen. Honestly I don’t like guns and think they escalate situations. I think those things should be left to trained law enforcement when possible. Those two were also being stupid but they didn’t shoot and I understand why they were freaked out.

    The protests were somewhere they weren’t supposed to be. That whole area was private. People have seen videos of arson and vandalism and hearing noise from a gate breaking and seeing a crowd coming through their gated community will freak people out.

    I’m not making them heroes, but they’re not villains. Also yes the protesters were breaking the law. They didn’t get shot but I don’t feel bad for them that a couple came out with guns. If there had been a shooting it would have been different.

    Great step from a Black Democratic Female politician. To actually acknowledge black on black crime, which is of course the real root cause for the suffering in the black community and not this absurd concept of systemtic racism, is a tremendous step and she should absolutely be comended for that.

    What comes next is to understand the reasons black on black crime is happening in such staggering numbers. Democrats will never face that because they have to look in the mirror then .

    Gimmick during WWI, that eventually was an anti-commie thing of the 50s, that now is a national recruitment strategy of the military.

    I hate it personally. It seems cheap. I've been to many international soccer matches and there's a certain joy to the meaning of a national anthem when it matters. When everyone is aligned under a banner of representing one's country in international competition. Playing the national anthem nearly 2500 times last year in baseball is cheap. Especially when you lok at an average team, let's say the Braves, 29 of the 40 players on the 40 man are from the US.But there are players from Cuba, Venezuela, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Curacao, and Canada. Only one of those nations ever has their national anthem. Now let's look at the Braves postion players and where they're from.

    C- USA
    1B - USA
    2B - Curacoa
    3B - could be USA or Panama
    SS - USA
    LF - DR
    CF - Venezuela
    RF - Venezuela

    On an average night, half the starting position players for the Braves aren't American. But they're forced to stand for the national anthem of a country they don't represent. It's never made sense to me.

    And as far as I can tell, it's an American thing. They don't play God Save the Queen before a Premier League match.

    systemic racism is the idea that the cards are stacked in favor of certain races. I don't need to look a lot harder than a few things.

    1. Gun laws in inner cities. A sticking point for many, but considering how difficult it can be for an inner city person regardless of race (though minorities tend to represent larger portions of city populations) to legally gain access to a firearm as opposed to a suburban or rural person, that's a sign of systemic racism. Again, one of the few times the NRA backed a gun law came after the black panthers were walking around with Assault Weapons.

    2. The US as a whole tends to neighborhood themselves. You see it in cities, Chinatown, Little Italy, Koreatown, etc. This is at the core issue of blank on blank violence. Blacks commit more violence on blacks, whites commit more violence on whites, etc. because you tend to commit crimes in your neighborhood. This is a sign again of systemic racism. By collecting a large group of people in a tight knit neighborhood and depriving them of the means to survive, of course violence will happen.

    3. The easiest cited example of systemic racism though is imbalance in laws. For example, crack cocaine is just as addictive as powder cocaine, but it's penalties are multiplicatively more harsh. Rockefeller Drug Laws were notoriously harsher on lower income inner city (aka Black) citizens. Why is it that people can't do heroin but wealthy white people can be prescribed Fentanyl for moderate pain with the right doctor?

    I could go on, this is just the tip of the iceberg

    1 is caused by democrat regulations. Are they causing systemic racism? Do you have studies to show that its harder for black to acquire a gun in an inner city as opposed to a white that isn't ec9nomically driven?

    What system is causing 2? Isn't that just normal human behavior? I fail to see how any 'system' is imposing where people choose to live again outside normal economic restrictions.

    Is level of addiction tbe driver of laws? Or is it overal danger to the body and others? Laws are always harder on the poor because they cant afford to defend themselves.

    I'm not seeing a 'system' causing what you are stating as racism here. Its economically driven and a result of laws that are applied evenly based on race.
