Kaepernick Workout Produces a Tryout with the Cleveland Browns

And what does your community do if someone has a child "out of wedlock"? Run them out of town? And does it matter if they're white?

 

You say that in black communities, it's acceptable to be uneducated. Are any uneducated WHITE people allowed to exist in your community?

 

Do white people in your community ever run out of money? You say that's accepted in black communtities. Do you run white people who go broke out of town?

 

What happens when something "isn't accepted" (according to you) in your community? Are the perpetrators jailed? Shot?

 

You are a real piece of bigoted shit, and I'm done talking to you. What a 14-karat racist jerkwad. Your kind is, thank God, dying out.

In my community having children out of wedlock is frowned upon.  In my community not being able to pay the way of the children that one brings into the world is frowned upon.  In my community, being abled bodied and getting free shit is frowned upon.............. just like it used to be in the black community.

 

By the way Kevin, if guys like me are dying out, who's going to pay for all the free shit?

Kevin Lewis writes:

"Another interesting national-scale example is Brazil. Everyone's some kind of hybrid of white, black, Native American, Inuit, Chinese, Martian, whatever. It's impossible to have race hatred there because whatever race someone else is, it's your race as well. Therefore, everyone treats everyone else as...people. What a refreshingly original concept!!!"

 

Would that it were so.

 

"Today, most Brazilians of all colours acknowledge that there is racial prejudice and discrimination in the country. Based on the statistical analysis of censuses, surveys and other evidence, we know that racial inequality is high and that racial discrimination in the labour market and other spheres of Brazilian society is common. Non-whites are major victims of human rights abuses, including widespread police violence. On average, black and brown (mulatto or mixed race) Brazilians earn half of the income of the white population. Most notably, the middle class and the elite are almost entirely white, so that Brazil's well-known melting pot only exists among the working class and the poor. Non-white Brazilians were rarely found in the country's top universities, until affirmative action began in 2001."

The same people who have always been paying for it--taxpayers. Don't worry, when you're gone, there will still be plenty of them. The major benefit of you and people like you dying off is that the racist, bigoted, asshole thinking that you've so often spouted will become sociall unacceptable.

 

There will be fewer taxpayers, proportionately, if Trump's and Boilerman's hatred of immigrants gains any social or practical traction. Our population is aging and traditionally, immigrants have supplied the youngest portions of the labor force. Shut immigrants out, and the population ages until more and more older people are living off the efforts of fewer and fewer working people. That's happening in Japan, a country that is famously hostile to immigration and xenophobic in general.

 

And Boilerman can frown upon people having children while unmarried all he wants. He can, in fact, hold his breath until he turns purple and explodes. It won't change something that has been part of human existence since the concept of marriage was first invented. Not everyone shares the religious values that Boilerman and his ilk are so eager to shove down everyone's throats.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin.  My beliefs that both parents should take care of their children is not based on religious beliefs.  It's based on the fact that kids in stable families tend to do better in life.  I think that's a good thing............kids doing well, and growing into successful happy adults.

 

Liberals have created a class of people who are convinced that they can’t succeed, and next the Libs reward their failure with free shit.  These people believe that their entitled to this free shit, and actually call this free shit "entitlements".  The people who fall into this trap aften create future generations who do the same.  These people do not live happy lives, and I want people of all colors to have happy lives.

 

Kevin, we both want the same things for people............success and happiness.  The problem is that your policies have negative implications.  Just look at the generations of failures you've helped create.

Yeah, right. Everyone's a failure and it's all my fault.

 

You're a liar when you say you want success and happiness for everyone. You only want it for white people, and those who aren't poor or sick. You seat yourself on your moral high throne and decree who should live or die.

 

The crap you spout about people who need help is standard conservative prattle. It's your evil and mean-spiritedness tied up with a shiny bow. You pretend to be principled because it's easier to do that than to admit you have no compassion and no honor. You're a greedy old sack of white-guy-privilege shit. And, you're a freeloader who has been sucking on the government tit for decades--ever since you were born, in fact.

 

Thank God that your type is dying off.

Does anyone suspect that Kevin is African American?   NTTAWWT.  It might explain some things, though.

Wow, yet another racist Trumper point of view. Yeah, sure. In order to be offended by society's treatment of Black people, I must be Black. I am critical of the US's historical crimes against Native Americans, I think the Holocaust was an act of unfathomable evil, I disagree with Trump's stigmatization of Mexicans, and I believe that Muslims are unfairly portrayed and treated.

 

So in Candy World, I obviously must be a Black Native American Mexican Muslim Jew.

 

Trumpers either simply can't fathom or are actively opposed to the idea of universal human rights, so they can't comprehend that one might be offended by discrimination and bigotry directed at a race or culture that is not one's own. In their worldview, human rights are for White Christians, and everyone else can go fuck themselves.

 

This despite the unequivocal statement of universal human rights that begins the founding document of our nation, and conservatives' supposed patriotic values and belief in the values of the founding fathers yada yada. "All men are created equal, yeah, but they didn't mean niggers, too." Racism and conservatism are irrevocably bonded.

Here's CNN, . . . not the source many would expect, . . . summarizing the major "problem" with welfare programs: CNN: Why the US has a culture of dependency

 

Excerpts:

[boldface added]

 

"The problem is that Washington is building a culture of dependency, with ever-more people relying on an ever-growing federal government to give them cash or benefits."

 

"Under a culture of dependency, poverty becomes a trap, and recipients get stuck. Long-term welfare recipients lose work habits and job skills and miss out on the marketplace contacts that lead to job opportunities. That's a key reason the government should require welfare recipients to work as much as they can. What could be called "workfare" thus tends to increase long-term earnings among potential recipients."

 

" . . . federal spending on programs, such as food stamps, has soared year after year and decade after decade. Simply put, spending on social welfare programs has exploded."

 

"The national debt is at $16 trillion, more than the entire GDP of the United States last year. High as it is, that debt is about to soar. More than 78 million baby boomers are retiring onto Social Security and Medicare in the next 15 years or so. Under Obamacare, Medicaid is set to explode as well. Within just one generation, total federal spending could reach nearly 36% of GDP, and the Congressional Budget Office says debt held by the public could reach nearly 200% of GDP. 

That will crowd out virtually all other government spending, including national defense. Future Congresses could impose deep cuts in social welfare programs across the board or raise massive taxes to support these exploding programs. The results would be chaotic and unpredictable."
[end of excerpts]
Many (most?) American taxpayers don't oppose all welfare, . . . but they would prefer that fewer of those on welfare made a career out of it, . . . never holding a job, never seeking a job, never engaging in any productive activity at all, . . . just "on the dole for a lifetime". Oh, and passing these attributes onto their offspring.
 
EDITED TO ADD
Ain't it funny that a thread addressing Colin Kaepernik metastasized into a discussion of poverty/welfare.

I, too, could cherry-pick the internet for some article or website that espouses whatever point of view I wish. A few years ago, it was extremely easy to search the net and come up with half a dozen articles swearing that Obama was a space alien from the planet Dweemo. With PROOF!!

 

That's why I don't do that, as a rule. It proves nothing to cite a single source, or even a couple of sources.
