@TaraBull808 So let me get this straight: because “citizens have had enough,” it’s now justified to riot, block freeways, tear down flags, and terrorize communities?
@Rain7161@WOODTV Look, calling people “morons” doesn’t change facts. Republicans defend the Second Amendment because it’s a bedrock civil right. Rights aren’t negotiable. The Founders put “shall not be infringed” in the Constitution for a reason—so politicians can’t erase your ability to defend.
@JulieMi17300708@Realrclark25 I get that and I’m all for giving context and having tough conversations. But RC’s delivery didn’t feel like it was promoting understanding, even if that was the goal. It came off like gatekeeping saying someone isn’t qualified to speak because of who they married.
@JulieMi17300708@Realrclark25 I hear you and I understand that RC may have deeper history with RG3 that shaped how he sees him. But the way he said it publicly didn’t come across as “I know this man personally and here’s why I think he’s out of touch.” It came across as: “he’s married to a white woman.
@JulieMi17300708@Realrclark25 I appreciate that seriously. And I actually agree with part of what you’re saying. There has been some real racial tension around how Caitlin Clark is being talked about, and some fans definitely cross the line.
@JulieMi17300708@Realrclark25 I’m all for listening, but let’s not pretend that using race to silence someone isn’t race baiting just because we like who said it.
@JulieMi17300708@Realrclark25 You white boys need to sit out of this.
That invites racial hostility, not discussion. Even if that’s not “political” in the traditional sense, it gains him clout and applause from a certain crowd which is still a form of social capital.
@JulieMi17300708@Realrclark25 It creates an “us vs. them” dynamic within the Black community and provokes outsiders to either stay silent or risk being accused of being “whyte boys who don’t get it.
@JulieMi17300708@Realrclark25 He’s not addressing RG3’s actual point he’s saying RG3’s personal life disqualifies him from even participating. That’s not about constructive dialogue it’s a purity test meant to discredit and inflame.
@JulieMi17300708@Realrclark25 Intentionally encouraging racism or anger about race-related issues, often to gain a political or social advantage. He said RG3 can’t speak on race issues because he’s married to a white woman and doesn’t have those conversations.
@DumasMike@Realrclark25 Disagreeing with you doesn’t make someone racist or a sellout. That kind of thinking shuts down real conversation. You don’t have to attack people’s character just because they see things differently.
@Realrclark25 That’s fair—you’re standing on what you believe. Just remember, the same freedom applies to others who see it differently, whether you agree or not.
@ShawnDaNupe@TJMoe28 Respectfully, telling someone they can’t have an opinion because of their skin color is the same kind of division we’re all supposedly trying to move past. You don’t know my life or what I understand, either. If we can’t have conversations across lines, we’re not going to grow.
@ESPNCFB@finebaum College football is changing fast—and not everyone is happy about it. In this episode, we break down the rise of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) and how it flipped the sport upside down.

Just dropped a podcast episode debating whether private schools really dominate high school football in Michigan. Broke down 11 years of state title data—55% public, 44% private. Would love to hear your take! https://t.co/2YmQGBiH90
