you know, the amount of horrendous attacks daily, it wouldnt be hard to find 4 black guys attacking a white guy for no good reason, is that a hate crime? Of course it is, unprovoked attacks, and even provoked attacks are all hate crimes. you are really feeding of this.
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

^ Well, when Colin Kaepernick started the kneeling, he was hounded out of the NFL, with what passes for the President of the United States leading the charge.
As for the photo, we have no idea whether this person is standing “for the anthem”, because she is the target in a game of “Spot the Racist” or because she has recently recovered from knee surgery and doesn’t want to bend.

^ Absolutely. On a somewhat more benign note, I recall Robert Murphy being sanctioned by the AFL for writing "no war" on his arm for a team photo back in 2003. Statements of dissent are seemingly only ever permitted when a sporting code has decided it fits their brand, in which case woe betide anyone who doesn't want to jump on board.Pies4shaw wrote:^ Well, when Colin Kaepernick started the kneeling, he was hounded out of the NFL, with what passes for the President of the United States leading the charge.
