@PatMcAfeeShow Bless his heart. Most people learn there are consequences for their actions at a very early age - especially for zero tolerance things like athletes gambling on sporting events they’re involved in.
@nicksortor@kirawontmiss I’m a single dad of my daughter since she was 4-5 yo. This was always a dilemma when we were traveling or out. Do you take them in the men’s room when no one is in there or the women’s when no was is in there? I’ve done both. To hell with what this asshole old man thinks.
@ariel_grass@TopuriaAleks@Topuriailia Sure. The constant barrage of upper cuts, jabs, and some massive overhand rights completely rearranged Topuria’s face… but “tHe GlOvEs”. 😂
@TreyWallace@Outkick Whatever. Texas Tech is a 💩 institution for the way they’ve handled this…. and these guys are proving it every day. The mental gymnastics from the AD and administration is nauseating.
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
Consider all of the blatant lies that activists tell about cases we’ve all lived through. Cases where there’s video and forensic evidence disproving their claims. Think about how the false narratives spread anyway and eventually become mainstream orthodoxy. Now go back and consider every supposed racist atrocity from decades or centuries ago. Every “innocent” minority wrongfully persecuted by racist whites. I’m not saying that all of those stories aren’t true. I’m saying that you can’t assume that they are true. If they can lie about the stuff we all witnessed with our own eyes, imagine what they can do with the things none of us witnessed.
