Why do you think your side is the only one justified in playing the victim card? We all get sick of that extremist shit. But some of us are actually able to see it from BOTH sides.

Funny that the same people who elected a President based on his claim that America was messed up and he was the one to fix it now claim that no one sold be allowed to say that America is messed up.
Again it gets back to freedom only applies to people who agree with their side.
I was not talking specifically about the NFL, but the Country in general.

The "country in general" includes extremist from BOTH sides calling people on the other side racist and accusing them of horrible behavior. I can clearly see that. However you can only see it coming from ONE side.
That is the big difference between us.

Fox News called you racist? Well, I have to say that it's hard to tell if the allegation was justified without knowing what you said.

My side? Victim card? When did I say I don't see it from both sides?
Why are you being called a racist? Are you?

Did they not date? I didn't recall it, but you saying it (I think unintentionally at this point) made me think it happened. Oh man, my not getting any sleep this week is really having an effect on my brain. ![Yawn Yawn](http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/indifferent/indifferent0018.gif)
I honestly don’t know if they dated.

Fox News could not hear anything I ever said.
What is your point?

No, I see it from both sides. One side is just screaming much louder than the other. That is simply my observation, before you go sticking me in "my group" again.

I was snarkily implying that you deserved to be called racist by Fox News. Thought it was pretty clear. Even added the ninja smiley just to help out.

When you say "the country in general" I have to assume you are not just talking about half of the country.

According to Tucker Carlson and Jason Whitlock any white people who support the protests for social justice are the "real racists".
And, no, I am not a racist.

Link please. It sounds like you watch more Fox news than me. Are you a closet conservative?
I was joking bro. Levity is a good thing, especially in political discussions.

I realize you are joking, but I honestly watch all different news sources to get different opinions. So I do watch Fox News.
Funny thing is that when I accuse people who spout the talking points from Fox News literally word-for-word of watching Fox News they deny it.

I never denied watching Fox news. I just look at other sources also.
Tucker and Whitlock link please?

I don't even have to watch FOX News. Fred is always kind enough to tell me what I watched and believed.
I will say I'm sad I missed the episode where they called Fred a racist.

I bet Fred is a really good guy, he probably just needs a little more love and Fox News in his life. Remember that movie, "Grumpy Old Men"?
