……How much different life would be if millions of sports fans got just as upset about government corruption as they do when professional athletes protest against it….a school’s band in Oakland, California took a knee while playing the national anthem….and those of you who “STILL” think taking a knee is insulting to the ones who fought and died for our freedoms….are you even aware how much Trump has insulted John McCain….who is a veteran, an ex POW and is considered a war hero?…..have you seen the photos of Trump standing and listening to our national anthem being played….and his hand is not over his heart…..and his wife….who is European had to remind him to place it over his heart?…..remember?……did anyone hear what Secretary of Defense James Mattis said when he was asked how he feels about the NFL protest?…..he said… “I’m the Secretary of Defense. We defend the country”.….and then got out of his chair….and left the hearing….a nice way to say he doesn’t have time for what’s going on…..I have other shit to deal with…..he would rather continue to protect our freedoms….in the meantime…..some people wasted their time by hanging Confederate flags with cotton ball stems attached around the campus of American University….hanging a noose in a tree is still a popular thing to do…..Stevie Wonder took not one knee….but two…and why did an ex-Republican politician call him…. “An ungrateful black multi-millionaire”….a Pennsylvania Fire Chief calls the black coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers “A no good N….r”….well was he a “Good N….r” when he was winning Super Bowls?…..does anyone remember when Tim Tebow knelt on the sidelines of a football game in a defiant and public act of faith during his years as a….ok quarterback…..and he was adored as a darling of the American Church?…..but when Colin knelt…to protest police brutality…..he received death threats and was called ….a traitor…..and Kaepernick is a devout Christian….. those of you saying NFL players are protesting the flag….is like saying Rosa Parks was protesting bus transportation……remember the Oakland Athletics baseball player who was the first one to take a knee….and is white?…..when he came up to bat….he received a standing ovation….now what the fuck was that about?…..Aaron Rogers of the Green Bay Packers pointed out something I didn’t even notice….he said… “It’s pretty weird that no one is getting upset at all the cameramen who are down on one knee filming, while the anthem is playing”…..standing up to American injustice will always be an American value….IT’S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE FLAG…..IT’S NEVER BEEN ABOUT OUR VETERANS…..get that in your heads….try and understand it……my friends Ken and Jack….one in the Air Force the other one joined the Navy….they wanted us to be safe……Miss Z’s husband wanted us to be safe….my nephew is making sure we are safe…..it’s all about equal justice within our nation….that’s it……face it…Colin stated in the first interview he gave that his protest was not about the military….even though racial slurs appeared on the doors of black cadets at the United Air Force Academy…..black men, women….white men and women…Latino…Asian…..it doesn’t matter…there is a lot of injustice happening around the country…..wake up….the only thing Kap is doing…is making us aware of it…..many black vets have given their lives fighting in WWI and WWII….Korea…..Vietnam…..and now……only to come back to the country they were willing to give their lives for…..and face inequality…..straight up in your face racism…..lynched while wearing their military uniform….we couldn’t actually and legally vote until 1968…..remember?….black people had no voice……never…..and it still seems like we still don’t……this is only about the one thing many of you American’s are forgetting….or have forgotten……what does the Pledge of Allegiance say…. “WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE…..FOR ALL”…..and that shit is not happening….3/5th of a human being….seriously???…….so you can continue to say it’s disrespectful to the flag, our military, the anthem or whatever…..but truth be told….you are missing the real picture…..or you’re part of the problem….if you’re tired of hearing about racism, imagine how tired some people are of experiencing it…..and before I shut up…I agree with what Wanda Sykes said…. “I wish that all the mothers of the kneeling NFL players would show up at the White House and ask Trump…. “WHO YOU CALLING A BITCH?”
FRENCH RESTAURANT BANS MOBILE PHONES, KETCHUP AND COCA-COLA….I guess not too many Americans will be eating here….if you use your phone in Le Petit Jardin….in the south of France…..you will receive a yellow card….do it again….and you’ll receive a red card and you’re out of there…..Jean-Noel Fluery….the owner….wants to make the atmosphere more family friendly…. “Our system makes it possible to draw the entire restaurant to create dialogues between tables”…..well that’s a first for me…..because most of the French restaurants I’ve been in….people aren’t that chatty…..he also said…. “The tradition in France is to speak during meals but technology has been getting in the way of enjoying our lives, with mobile phones being the biggest source of trouble during a meal”…..the man does have a point….waiters will blow a whistle and show a yellow card to someone caught using their phone….some people have refused to put down their phones and left the place…..even though the restaurant explained the rules to them when they first came in…..they have received unpleasant comments on social media…and Fluery could care less….I like the guy….look….put the damn phone down…and talk to your date….your friend….your partner…..and catch up with whatever you think is important…..later…..ah, American tourists…..rule number one…..never ask for ketchup in a French restaurant…..the last one who did….the chef came out of the kitchen and stabbed the guy with a knife.
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW…..The Las Vegas shooting is not the largest mass murder in American history…..it is one of…..and it’s way down on the list when it comes to body count……anyone one remember Wounded Knee?….300 people killed by the Calvary…who came to them waving a white flag….what about the Sand Creek Massacre….when the Colorado militia murdered between 70 to 163 Native Americans….mostly women and children….the Colfax Massacre in 1873…..when a mob of white men….surrounded a courthouse in Louisiana and killed up to 150 black citizens over a political dispute…..East St. Louis Massacre in 1917….over three days of violence because the white’s feared the blacks were taking their jobs…..they said the death toll was thirty…..many believe it was in the hundreds…..Wilmington Insurrection…..the Rosewood Massacre….they burned down the entire town….because a white woman said a black man beat and raped her….only to find out later that the bitch had lied……New Orleans riot…..Tulsa Race riot…..Cincinnati riots of 1829….between 1,100-1,500 blacks were forced to leave the city…..and last but not least…..Slavery…..there isn’t a body count amount you can add to that…..and if you take the time to look back through the course of history…..the four things you will notice the white race has contributed to the human race is…..death, destruction, dominance and disease…..and if I just pissed someone off…..sorry…..whether it was that Italian guy looking for India…..the Spanish wreaking havoc during their travels through Central and South America…or the Plymouth Rock gang….colonizing Africa……scientific testing…..incarceration…..removing and kidnapping Indigenous and Aboriginal people to force the European “Way” on them….. people died….and unknown germs wiped out entire civilizations……and now someone whom I consider to be a serious lunatic Televangelist….Jim Bakker is saying….if Trump is impeached… “We Christians” will start a civil war….as if a religious civil war is something new…..The Holy Crusades……remember!
