@RepCDMenefee This is the big problem. What he said wasn’t racist. Regardless of whether he should’ve said it or not. You’re now just stoking a race fire that’s not there.
@Keir_Starmer I’m no Starmer fan but this is necessary. Kids are fucking useless these days. This will piss off kids for the next 2-3 years but get them off the screens and back being kids again. It’s not a necessity, and if your child thinks it is then there’s a deeper issue there.
@bwfc_elliot I see bwfc and know you don’t watch world class. He’s absolutely spot on. Some great players in there but the idea of world class is such a small selection of players.
@TaintlessRed Yeah because they have the facilities and infrastructure to host 48 teams and that many games that go with it. Sure there’s some nice spots and people are generally nice and friendly but get a grip will you. Sick of seeing these posts.
@TheStringfellow@omgsidewalks You could invest 5 mil and keep 5 mil, and live off the 3-4% interest on that 5 mil yearly. Those that are a little greedy or have a sweet tooth it would be gone quick but anyone with some sense would live comfortably for the rest of their days.
@NateAlgoPicks They’re a solid team, they have a solid core of players that have played together for a while. They’ll usually find a way to get at least a goal. Canada will likely need 2 if they have a chance to win. Their best bet is to take advantage of the atmosphere and press Bosnia early.
@paulwoodsx Yep. Because that’s what they keep conditioning themselves to do. People need a crutch and for them it’s blaming white people. Just like teenagers use ‘anxiety’ as a crutch for being lazy. Theres too many systemic problems that won’t change because they don’t want to.
The Karmelo Anthony verdict shows that the justice system has reverted back to the Jim Crow South era.
It is no longer about evidence.
It is no longer about right or wrong.
It is about keeping racial score through the prosecution and imprisonment of Black people.
It was no surprise that an all white jury would find a 19 year old kid, who was bullied and harassed by two 6’1” bullies, guilty of murder while he was minding his business.
We have seen this story before.
A young Black man is put on trial, and somehow the burden shifts from what happened to him, to why he should not have defended himself.
The facts become secondary.
The optics become everything.
The outcome feels predetermined long before the verdict is read.
People will tell you not to make it about race.
But race has always been part of the story in America.
The hard truth is that many Black people no longer believe they will receive the benefit of the doubt when their freedom is on the line.
And verdicts like this are exactly why.
At some point, we have to stop pretending that everyone is playing by the same set of rules.
Because the people watching this case saw something very different than what that jury claimed to see.
@TheRealJamieKay You can’t fix the problems in house until you fix the rest of the shit too. The more the country buries its head in the sand. The worse it’ll get on both fronts.
It’s like pest control. Have to seal up the entry points before you lay the traps for what’s inside.
The UK / USA debate basically boils down to the fact that the yanks love it bigger and louder and flashier, and the Brit’s done give a fuck about any of those things. And that’s ok. Pointless debates.
@joe_284 It’s just 2 different worlds that prefer it their own way. Thats it. 99% of the people arguing haven’t experienced the other enough to even understand the other. Such a stupid debate.
