and that's not normal, that's woke nonsense.
If ending racism is "woke nonsense," then I'm glad to be awake.
We defeat racism by giving racism no heed,
no, ignoring or pretending it doesn't exist will not make it go away.
but rather we stand side by side as fellow citizens and equals and be an actual example of Christian love and fellowship as citizens.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.. kinda' makes you wonder why that triggers MAGA so much.

it's normal behavior to come together over sports. We defeat racism by giving racism no heed, but rather we stand side by side as fellow citizens and equals and be an actual example of Christian love and fellowship as citizens.

We don't need a silly sign that does nothing but sow division. We need a football game that takes our mind to better things...

MAGA is standing side by side in Christian love with our fellow countrymen of all races as equals. Try and keep up... It's not racist to simply walk as equals, Jesus said we don't need fanfare, just good practice, at least that's the way I take it.
Standing side by side with Americans of all races agreeing we shouldn't be talking about the racism any of YOU guys are experiencing.

We're too busy side by side to notice the racism you're experiencing. Standing is tough.

You don't defeat racism by ignoring it.

Hey, I just had this great idea! Why don't we put up posters that say "End Murder" and "End Rape" and "End Theft", etc. We could make the world a perfect place by putting up posters!

Actually, I think the world would be a BETTER place if nobody ever talked about murder rape or theft.

Then it wouldn't be a problem.

See, that's the problem. People want to talk about it happening. It's just woke nonsense though. I am just here to say that every American already knows and is standing together saying that murder rape and theft are bad.

So we don't need to talk about them anymore. Or even look at those words.

It would be nice if Trump had them, I agree.

Great idea! Not many of these exist with the NFL, though.

What's wrong with focusing on a particular issue?
Explain how racism exists within the NFL.

Thank God common sense has come back to the United States - Football is no a black sport, a white sport, a Hispanic sport - it is a uniquely American sport. You would think after the multiple billions of dollars lost trying to politicize the game, the NFL would have figured out the American public don't want race or social justice brought into a game.

The longer the left focuses on social justice, race and those things that seperate us (woke), the longer they will lose support from the American public and stuck in their 30% approval rate. Good for the NFL - go woke - go broke is reality.

Advertising it has just sought to perpetuate it. Why does the left want racism to constantly be an issue so much? Is it just the worn out get votes from minorities routine?

I hope the left goes all out on it tomorrow. Lots of signs. Lots of chanting. Interrupting the national anthem. The whole nine yards.

Do you think a racist is going to change his mind because he sees a two-word poster?

And we don't talk about murder, rape and theft because they are settled issues for the vast majority of people, just as racism is. Although there is one special interest group that likes to talk about rape, that is, Leftist feminist females. I don't know the reason, but I'm sure it's probably...interesting. Maybe Bernie Sanders could tell us.

Ah, so being anti-woke is being racist. Gotcha.

By turning a blind eye to something, you aren't making it go away. You're merely letting it fester while pretending it's not there to make yourself feel better. This is merely a selfish choice.

Nearly a decade ago in America, in 2015, 17% of all marriages performed were inter-racial.

You don't have that in racist and bigoted societies by and large. Even in 1967 it was only 3%.

Plus, ask a Saudi who is descended from Mohammed whether he is giving his daughter in marriage to an Iraqi, or a Bahraini Shi'ite.. People are by and large ingrained to preserve culture and heritage, not race, but in most places race is also somewhat of a factor.

However in America not only do sects (Christians will marry Catholics or Baptists marry a Lutheran) intermarry, but races intermarry as well. A non-Jewish semite might marry a white European, a white European might marry a black American, a black American might marry a Latin American woman..

It goes down through all of us. We are one culture in the main here in America and probably among the least racially divided of any nation on earth, and in a generation made excellent strides in showing the world what equality under the law can look like as well a life in the brotherhood of Christ - then we lost our way.

All screaming and shouting false accusations of racism at people who are doing an awesome job of showing Christ to the world really is wrong and does understandably upset good people.

Let's recall some real data shall we?

"The decline in opposition to intermarriage in the longer term has been even more dramatic, a new Pew Research Center analysis of data from the General Social Survey has found. In 1990, 63% of nonblack adults surveyed said they would be very or somewhat opposed to a close relative marrying a black person; today the figure stands at 14%. Opposition to a close relative entering into an intermarriage with a spouse who is Hispanic or Asian has also declined markedly since 2000, when data regarding those groups first became available. The share of nonwhites saying they would oppose having a family member marry a white person has edged downward as well."


This is not a racist society. They can watch a football game without the holier than thou act on the football field. It's unwarranted.

Odd. Usually the people attending sports seem to be engaging in fierce rivalry, not fellowship in my experience. There have occasionally even been riots following games. Do the Crips and the Bloods "come together" over gang membership? I just think this is a particularly bad analogy.

Nobody forced Trump to falsely claim that Obama can't be an American because he's black. Nobody forced Musk to do a Nazi salute or to hire a Nazi sympathizer for DOGE.

The GOP's racist policies are forcing decent people to take action.

It's not at all racist to govern your country for the advantage of the average citizen. It's what governments are intended to do. We the people don't serve at the behest of government, the government serves at our behest.

The right (which consists of people from every race) simply have different ideas than the left and since the left and the elite Republicans have had QUITE a lot of time in power to prove their ideas are helpful to our society and we've seen our country just go to the dead end for used up hand baskets we the people have decided it's our turn.

Pretty sure we can do this better.

It's not racist, it's pragmatic.

Its hard to look at the current executive and various figures fawning over him and not laugh at the notion that we've finally shut out the "elites".

To the matter at hand: I think I want Philly to win? Not really invested either way. Nor should I be. The league is now in league with massive gambling. So all bets are off, so to speak.

So I guess Musk's aide (MAGA) is standing side by side in Christian love with our fellow countrymen of all races as equals, when he said he wants to "normalize Indian hate"? When he has said he would not marry outside his race? And Trump has not condemned any of his statements. And Vance, who's own wife is Indian, defended Musk's aide. Wow! Lot of love there.
