In which case, you're just as racist as the people you condemned further back in this thread...

Unless you read what was actually said, instead of clipping out the contexts (Bookended by parenthesis to make that clear.)

"The White People" being the specific white people.  Not all white people, but when we're talking about "The White People" who consider themselves above menial tasks that we need those workers for.

In which case she wasn't "The Racist," she was the person pointing out the Racism, of "The White people" she was talking about.  In a derogatory way.

How Colin Kaepernick Beat the NFL

Both the Kaepernick and Reid grievances cited President Donald Trump’s role in pressuring NFL owners to bar any players who protested during the national anthem. The New York Times reported that NFL owners held a closed-door meeting in October 2017 in which a number of them appeared terrified of Trump. The Wall Street Journal further reported that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had been asked by Trump to deliver a message to the owners about the protest movement. “This is a very winning, strong issue for me,” Trump said, according to the Journal’s account of Jones’ deposition. “Tell everybody, you can’t win this one. This one lifts me.”

Now it appears that listening to Trump on the issue may have cost owners—and won Kaepernick—many millions of dollars without doing anything to stop the years-long discussion around police brutality and systemic racism that Kaepernick, Reid, and other NFL protesters helped generate.

Meanwhile, Kaepernick has been honored by multiple human rights organizations for his stand for social justice, and in September was made the face of a new Nike campaign that used his status as a modern-day civil rights icon to sell sneakers.

You are of no matter at all, what you think, especially regarding this Candidate, now our President because he won the 2016 Election, as Americans decided we did not want even one day of what Democrats were pushing for our lives.

What's hilarious is you still calling him a candidate.  Probably because he lost the popular vote.

You and your hero got taken behind the woodshed on November 6, 2018.

As your usual cowardly self, you failed to mention that.

Montage: Watch the Media Uncritically Accept Another Outlandish ‘Hate Crime’
‘This is America in 2019’

When TMZ first reported that actor Jussie Smollett was the victim of a vicious hate crime, it sounded almost impossible to believe.

Upon leaving a Chicago Subway sandwich shop circa 2 AM one sub-zero night in late January, two masked men recognized him as the openly gay black actor starring in Fox’s ‘Empire,’ hurled racist and homophobic slurs at him, beat him to the point of breaking his ribs, doused him with bleach, tied a noose around his neck, before pronouncing “This is MAGA Country!” and fleeing.

Making such astonishing claims, the national media owed it to their viewers to give this story the circumspect coverage responsible journalism demands.

If only.

Instead the major media used their platform to uncritically parrot TMZ’s original report, even adding new details along the way (such as that the attackers wore “Make America Great Again” hats). This vicious hate crime, they said, painted a disturbing picture of America in 2019.

As Smollett’s claims have unraveled over the intervening weeks, it’s worth revisiting how the story was originally covered.

Check out the montage above to for a quick refresher. color=yellow]Thanks for the update... seems much more to be learned about this Fake News Story.. more than Fake, created Hate Speech for Political reasons... or mental health call for help?

A bit of both, seems...

Am sure you will keep us up to date.

Chicago police question actor Jussie Smollett and 2 'persons of interest,' including man who appeared on 'Empire'

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi emphasized that the two “are not considered suspects at this time.”

He later characterized as “unconfirmed” a report by WLS-Ch. 7 that the two men had staged the attack with Smollett who, the station said, feared he was being written off “Empire.”

“Media reports (about) the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives,” Guglielmi tweeted Thursday evening. “Supt Eddie Johnson has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate.”

For someone spouting MAGA constantly you should be celebrating the beating of a gay black man.

Unless you are willing to denounce that racist mantra, of course.

Colin Kaepernick won. Period.

Make no mistake: Colin Kaepernick won.

Facing the most formidable foe of his career, Kaepernick stood his ground — and the NFL backed down. Although the terms of the league’s settlement with Kaepernick and Eric Reid — close friends and former San Francisco 49ers teammates who, in collusion grievances, alleged owners conspired to keep them unemployed because of their political activism — announced Friday are cloaked in a confidentially agreement, Kaepernick’s victory is as clear as his talent as a quarterback.

The NFL finally admitted as much, ending its lame arguments about why Kaepernick remains unsigned after last playing for San Francisco in 2016. That was the year Kaepernick sat and then kneeled to draw attention to police brutality and systemic oppression. Reid was the first player to kneel alongside him.

At the Super Bowl in Atlanta last week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell continued to push the company line, essentially saying no teams believe that Kaepernick is capable of helping them win. It’s one thing to offer that tripe to the media. It’s quite another, however, to convince an arbitrator that none of the league’s 32 teams could use a passer who has made 58 career starts, helped a team reach a Super Bowl, is only 31 years old and has the fourth-best touchdown-to-interception ratio of all time.

Kaepernick’s grievance was expected to go to a full hearing sometime this year, and the NFL was facing the possibility of massive financial liability if it lost. Without a winning hand, the NFL decided to fold, said Stanford Law School professor William B. Gould IV.

An expert in labor law, Gould has closely monitored the developments surrounding the Kaepernick and Reid grievances. He wasn’t surprised by the league’s exit strategy.

“The NFL had to have some measure of concern about substantial liability,” said Gould, who served as chairman of the National Labor Relations Board from 1994-98. “The damages [awarded to Kaepernick] could have been considerable. For Kaepernick [to settle], it seems to me this has to be [financial] compensation. And I would think substantial compensation. Kaepernick certainly comes out of this a winner.”

The NFL is the most powerful sports league on the planet. It has virtually inexhaustible financial resources. It has top-notch lawyers. And it is fiercely protective of its image — the whole thing about not tarnishing the shield and all.

For the NFL to have settled with Kaepernick and Reid, who alleged that the owners attempted to ruin their careers because they chose to shine a light on racial injustice, well, that’s a horrible look for Goodell and the billionaires whom he serves. And the fact that the league found this option more palatable than continuing its fight reveals the level of its long-running palpable concern about the Kaepernick-Reid situation.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the league, on failing to have Kaepernick’s collusion grievance dismissed last August, began re-evaluating its position.

Gould believes that with so many smart people in the NFL’s New York headquarters, someone probably suggested it was time to find a back door.

“The league has taken so many hits, both in the area of race and in health and safety for the players, that they have to be gun-shy about future exposure,” he said. “Not simply in terms of compensation, because they can take a hit in terms of compensation. But in terms of public exposure and bad publicity, which they don’t want and can hurt them in the future.”

The fact is, except for fans who disagree with Kaepernick’s politics and the broadcasters and writers who carried the league’s water on the nonsensical Kaepernick-isn’t-good-enough-to-be-on-an-NFL-roster argument, it was clear that something was going on that had nothing do to with football.

The Washington Redskins helped prove that.

After starter Alex Smith suffered a potentially career-ending injury in November, the Redskins signed failed 32-year-old passer Mark Sanchez. After Sanchez did what Sanchez does, the Redskins dipped back into the free-agent quarterback market and signed Josh Johnson, who’s also 32 and who had not thrown a pass in a regular-season NFL game since 2011.

What’s more, since Kaepernick has been on the outside looking in, the list of ridiculously ineffective quarterbacks who have been signed is as long as it is laughable. It’s as if the league posted a sign in flashing red neon at every stadium that read, “Don’t believe what your eyes are seeing. All of these guys are actually better than Kaepernick.”

I mean, the Jedi mind trick doesn’t work on everyone.

The woeful performances of many players at Kaepernick’s position, the most important position in sports, undercut the league’s argument every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Even after Reid returned to work in late September last season and signed a multiyear contract extension this week, there wasn’t even a whisper in the game about doors potentially opening for Kaepernick. Because a full hearing on Kaepernick’s grievance was drawing closer, the league was under increasing pressure to come to the realization it finally did.

As I wrote a while ago, Kaepernick will never again play in the NFL. But labor lawyer Thomas A. Lenz said the NFL is most likely paying a whole lot for what it has done to Kaepernick. Perhaps even more than $10 million in the settlement.

“Over the Super Bowl period, with so much attention on Kaepernick, it [the pressure] seemed to mount,” said Lenz, a lecturer at the University of Southern California’s Gould School of Law. “And in terms of the settlement, it’s pure speculation at this point, but you could be looking at a couple of seasons of pay, whatever perks there might have come from a typical season under contract and endorsement opportunities he may have missed out on because he was not playing. There’s a whole range of things. I don’t think a settlement of [many millions of dollars] would be wild speculation at all.”

Of course, while Kaepernick’s fans will celebrate his victory, there’s also an inconvenient truth that must be addressed. Reid has publicly bashed Malcolm Jenkins and Anquan Boldin, the co-founders of the Players Coalition, for accepting money from the NFL to fund social justice work. Now, Reid and Kaepernick are likely taking the NFL’s cash as well.

On its face, that’s difficult to reconcile.

But the thing is, no matter where one stands on the NFL-Players Coalition partnership, Kaepernick and Reid should be applauded for fighting after they became convinced that their careers were illegally derailed. Especially Kaepernick. After absorbing a lot of hits throughout his toughest battle, he showed he’s a winner.

Jussie is unwell, some say...

Now suspect #1 for FBI and Terrorism Case, White Powder, other threats. Still has his JOB, it seems, for the moment at least.

Declines to be interviewed by Chicago Police, and his lawyers are keeping those lines of communication open, supposedly.

Jussie had agreed to press charges against two "suspects", until it was revealed those two were Nigerian show extras in his employ, one his personal trainer... hired and paid $3500 each to give him a supposed ass kickin', buy some rope and toss some liquid on him, but not on his sandwich... or his phone... with another $500 to be paid later to each of them.

So, Jussie was willing to press false charges against two random guys, when he thought the Police were still buying his lies... no matter that anyone accused of an 'assault' on Jussie would be a innocent person, as no assault ever occurred.

Expect Jussie could have had a good ass kickin' for far less money, without much trouble at all. We shall see how National and Chicago authorities deal with people who incite racial hatred, and create HOAX homophobic/racial crimes.

  What does anything Jussie lies about have to do with MAGA?

  Supposedly, the reason you, athos, brought Jussie and his lying claims to our attention in this thread, which you created for just such outrageous 'common' "NEWS", is the connection that your demented brain makes with President Trump, when you hear about things that are senseless.

  Jussie was counting on you, may still be counting you in his corner, and when challenged as not making sense to happen, not making sense that some white thugs in Chicago, at odd morning hours, would even be able to recognize some small time actor, let alone know his political leanings, then wave their RED MAGA HATS at him, as they beat him senseless... leaving him to 'act' another day, leaving him with his phone (supposedly recording the entire attack), and with his SUBWAY SANDWICH... and hang a piece of clothes
line around his neck, which he then was still wearing hours later when Police were called...

  Seemed a bit 'over the top' when I first read it here, and you immediately attacked any challenge, any thought that just maybe it was all made up...

  Still, you are seeking any thread to cling to... you seem in good company, or were, at least until you lost AL SHARPTON, haha, who can spot a hoax, spot a grifter a mile away, having walked in those shoes a few times himself, methinks.  When you lost the Reverend AL, that had to be a clue.

  Lots of bad things happen to good people. Life is a bitch, then you die. And this time, YOU are dead wrong... you know that of course, and it does not matter one bit to you, you are still with Jussie.. and will be with the next HOAX as well.. and it just does not matter..
