"End Racism" Removed from Superbowl Stadium End Zones--so as not to 'offend' President Trump

[Michie]

You miss the point, nobody benefits from stoking the flames and dividing the country more than the Democratic Party.

They thrive on it. Just look at some of the posts in this thread. It’s all they got.

Well the Super Bowl game was extremely boring. Halftime show was the same. Oh well.

That's how Republicans won the election. Listen to the speeches. Count the insults and slurs--driving hate and division--from each candidate.
I'd make a conservative estimate of 100 to 1R to D.

Agreed. Boooring.

Nothing against rap but the Kendrick show was just low energy.

Shoulda had Doechii. She would have lit it up.

 

[Bradskii]

Well over 3 hours for a game that's meant to last for 60 minutes? Good grief (says a guy who will watch a single cricket game over 5 days).

We didn't have our closed captions on (should've cut the sound, too) but apparently it was about a feud with Drake. Who cares?

Didn’t watch. Never have.

Not surprised Taylor swift is very divisive.

It was great for an Alabama fan pulling for Jalen Hurts .. Terrible halftime show, even the dancing was bad

How so?

So, I looked up the statute in question. There actually is no 1003.42(h) because there's a subdivision even underneath 1003.42 before you get to the h, but there is only one subdivision that has the further subdivision of (h) so it can be easily identified. What you allude to therefore appears to be 1003.42.1(h). It says:

The history of African Americans, including the history of African peoples before the political conflicts that led to the development of slavery, the passage to America, the enslavement experience, abolition, and the history and contributions of Americans of the African diaspora to society. Students shall develop an understanding of the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on individual freedoms, and examine what it means to be a responsible and respectful person, for the purpose of encouraging tolerance of diversity in a pluralistic society and for nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions. Instruction shall include the roles and contributions of individuals from all walks of life and their endeavors to learn and thrive throughout history as artists, scientists, educators, businesspeople, influential thinkers, members of the faith community, and political and governmental leaders and the courageous steps they took to fulfill the promise of democracy and unite the nation. Instructional materials shall include the vital contributions of African Americans to build and strengthen American society and celebrate the inspirational stories of African Americans who prospered, even in the most difficult circumstances. Instructional personnel may facilitate discussions and use curricula to address, in an age-appropriate manner, how the individual freedoms of persons have been infringed by slavery, racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination, as well as topics relating to the enactment and enforcement of laws resulting in racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination and how recognition of these freedoms has overturned these unjust laws. However, classroom instruction and curriculum may not be used to indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view inconsistent with the principles enumerated in subsection (3) or the state academic standards. Each school district must annually certify and provide evidence to the department, in a manner prescribed by the department, that the requirements of this paragraph are met. The department shall prepare and offer standards and curriculum for the instruction required by this paragraph and may seek input from the Commissioner of Education’s African American History Task Force or from any state or nationally recognized African-American educational organizations. The department may contract with any state or nationally recognized African-American educational organizations to develop training for instructional personnel and grade-appropriate classroom resources to support the developed curriculum.

I don't see anything in it saying to teach that black people benefitted from slavery. Can you show me where? (it's always possible I missed something)

I stand corrected. Thank you for taking the time to look this up. I should have posted this: New Florida standards teach that Black people benefited from slavery because it taught useful skills

I'll be honest, I think both your idea and the idea that Oompa Loompa gave about lawfare against Trump making black people like him more are false, because I think neither is the reason for Trump doing so much better among black voters than past Republican presidents.

The reason doesn't seem to be anything related to Trump himself. It's that black voters are voting more frequently for Republicans in general, and Trump is just getting benefits from this larger trend.

To quote this interesting article I found:

Why Trump's Winning

Just the boring material cause, though, not the efficient or final causes.

decivitate.substack.com

I think this is looking in the wrong place. I don’t think the non-White shift has anything to do with Trump. Look at the NYT/Siena poll numbers again. Trump puts up amazing, historic numbers with non-Whites. But Nikki Haley does even better. She not only cleans up with Whites; Haley also wins Hispanics by 10 points and gets 5% more Black support than Trump does. (She does a lot worse with Asians, though.) Haley is about as close to a Generic Republican as you can get in these weird, Trumpy times. Yet she does better with minorities than Trump. This suggests that what’s attracting minorities to the GOP isn’t Donald Trump.

It’s conservatism.

That actually makes a lot of sense. In a big thread that took Election Data Twitter by storm this week, John Burn-Murdoch of the Financial Times made a simple observation: among White people, essentially 100% of conservative voters vote for Republicans, and essentially 100% of progressive voters vote for Democrats. It has been this way since at least 2012. But, among Asian, Latino, and especially Black voters, many conservative voters have spent years voting for Democrats, not Republicans. (Non-White progressives also voted for Democrats.) That’s changing.

The article goes on to give more details on this, but that excerpt seems sufficient to get across the basic thesis. If its arguments are true--and they seem persuasive to me--the notably higher percentage of black voters voting for Trump is just them voting more for Republicans in general. Granted, blacks still vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, but still not as overwhelmingly so as in the past.

Interesting. Good points. I honestly think Haley was the most knowledgeable and articulate candidate out of all of them, but she failed to get the nomination. She wasn't too far to the left or right. I knew a number of people who would have voted for her. Maybe she will make another run in 2028.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

And your proof is?
Let me guess. Non-existent.

What exactly do you need proof about? That gangs exist, or that human trafficking exists?

 

[Hazelelponi]

She had a student visa and lived with an aunt for a few years. She had met her now husband at that time. They traveled back and forth. But their oldest is in school so they've been married 8 years or so.

Coming on a visa is a legal means of coming to this country, whether it's a student or work visa.

Trump supporters are not against people coming in this country legally.

We accept about 1 million people to live and work in the United States as our guests every single year.

The point of the immigration debate prior to Biden-Harris open borders issues is that we are undercutting American workers when we ship our jobs over seas and keep increasing the numbers of H1b Visas we are issuing.

We have been lowering wages for the average American workers by flooding a limited market with labor, then companies stop hiring American workers at all because they won't work as cheap because they don't live 20-25 to an apartment.

The Democrats didn't do this when the American workers were their voter base, because it's not something any American worker wants for their future and their children's future.

Now that Biden and Harris flooded our country with every terrorist in the world we have an absolute nightmare with illegal immigration to clean up, but once we do the American workers (of every race) will be going back to complaining about too many H1B Visas being issued because it hurts the average worker in America.

This is what your trying to call racism, the fact that Americans want to be able to get jobs in their own country so they can support their families.

We were "punished" by the left for refusing to bow down to corporate slavery, when they opened our borders and flooded our nation with terrorists. How dare the American worker think this is a country for them and their families right?

Well, we won. And so we will have jobs and decent pay so we can live, in our own country. The Democrats would still care about that sort of thing if Americans were their voter base.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

To bring this thread screaming back onto the rail, I think it is safe to say that the best explanation for the purpose of the "end racism" message was for people to virtue signal and pat themselves on the back. It's a message that makes smug people say "Look at me! I agree with this message! So I am one of the good guys! Ain't I so special?".

 

[BNR32FAN]

LOLOL! Yeah right. They were taken because your "non-existent racists" were out there making a spectacle. Pretending and ignoring won't make your statement true or make it go away. We live in a fallen world where all kinds of "ugly" exist.

Ok so in your opinion what percentage of the American population do you think these people in the pictures represent? And out of all the people you know how many of them are racists?

I was so hoping for another Chief's win... Too bad God doesn't get involved in our sports... Lol.

I bet the Eagles were happy, and I'm happy for them.

Here is a lovely well sourced post of mine:

Trump says he’ll use military in mass deportations

It's what you guys ordered from the menu, so now you guys eat it. I can't wait.

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

*snipped the wall of text here to avoid extending the posts*

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.

Aaaand none of that meant anything for the talk of racism. 17% of marriages were inter-racial? Good, doesn't mean anything in regard to racism still being a thing. This is exactly what I meant that you just want to ignore the subject so you can pretend it doesn't exist. That was all just window dressing. Racism still exists, it is still there and you're all for letting it fester and not address it when it rears it's ugly head. And saying a call to stop racism is "holier than thou" is quite telling.
By your logic here, since the wealth of the top 10% of the people in the country has increased, that means there is no poverty and any calls to talk about poverty or calls to stop and help poverty stricken people need to stop because... Well there's a group of people who aren't poor, therefore, don't talk about poverty. There is no poverty in the country.
It's equally silly reasoning as yours above.
