I agree. Covid is exploding and there’s no way we’ll have a full season. We’ll be lucky to have conference games.

I don't see you saying All Lives Matter when white on white crime happens so what is your point?
In fact I don't see anyone bring up white on white crime when discussing the shortcomings of other minority communities, yet that seems to be the go to for people who want to disenfranchise and ignore a real problem.
What's real to me is the reality that the only reason many here even care about any of these recruits is the fact the kid could help the team win football games. If the same kid wasn't a recruit, they wouldn't give a shite if he was ran down by some bumpkins a shot dead for jogging in Georgia.
This shite is sad. I really don't understand why man is so inheriting wicked to itself and its own brother.

Humans suck. That’s why I don’t trust them and I spend most of my spare time with animals or learning about animals

And magically this stat doesn't account for just guns. If I ran one over with my car, still felonious. Beat one to death with my bare hands, still felonious.
Cherry picked stats are cherry picked stats. Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Dude I don't get it. I know I can be aggressive but that is my former years of football coming out of me.
As a person, I don't hate people.. even people who hate me for no reason.
At times it mystifies me how relentless and unyielding some people have become over something no one has a choice in determining.

I’m white and I’m a minority where I live. I’m fine with it. I mind my business and my neighbors all mind theirs. It’s a wonderful relationship that we all have 
I live in Center Point, Alabama. It can be a rough place, but I like it here and I like the type of neighbors I have.
We all just want to live in peace and do our things.

Not true. I have marched to in peaceful demonstrations to stop black-on-black violence, gone back to my neighborhood and rehabbed homes, worked outreach with convicted felons, volunteered at the county jail, mentored youth, and taught GED classes at a women's shelter. The majority of African Americans are tired of this shite. The ceasing of the misery and degradation in our communities begins at home. The reason that media does not publicize it, is because this side of African American culture is not seen as sexy. Unless we're burning Rap Albums or R Kelly music, rioting, or having an idiotic funeral for the N-word, the ratings are not there.
That's awesome cal
Stick around here more, man. Post more. Your stuff the last week or so has been very good.

What Cal is doing is heroic, in my opinion. Imagine if Sharpton or Jackson would use their platform to promote people like Cal and others, instead of chasing cameras and capitalizing on division.

Okay. Let's talk about it.
For Black Lives Matter to be truly sincere, wouldn't it be absolutely necessary to bring awareness to the thousands of African Americans killed by members of their own race over the dozen or so killed by the police in the same time period?
What's being ignored here are the black lives taken every day in places like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, etc.
That's not disenfranchisement. That's reality man.

You're probably right. I'm sure we have people who post here who feel that way. I'm not one of them.

Police are suppose to serve and protect. That's litetally part of their job title.
You can't draw a comparison with people whose job is to protect you to random every day crime much of which is gang-related and brought about by poverty.
The reality is the white on white crime is no different than black on black crime. It's crime. Period. No one justifies it because it's moronic to defend.

How are they beung ignored? Those are crimes which are reported which have law enforcement working to apprehend the offenders.
This is no ifferent than white on white crime or whatever color crime, being reported and law enforcement investigating to apprehend criminals.
When Police are the ones committing these offenses it's different. When they are getting away with them unless someone catches them in the act on camera phone.. it makes things boil up to this point.

There was a time I believed this and at one point would have actually met you for a drink and to talk football. Now, I see the resentment and anger and I just don't know.
I don't get how people hate people so much or have to slant things so negatively just because they were born different.
I'm just happy Saban isn't like that. I honestly believe he gives a damn about these young men even outside of football purposes.

The black-on-black crime is absolutely ignored. It is ignored by the media and the race baiters. Instead people choose to point at a very microscopic number of cases that involve the police killing someone. Most of those cases involve a violent offender or a response to a violent offense. The fact is more police die on duty than do black men. You add to this the “No snitching” culture in the black community, and yeah, black-on-black crime is hypocritically passed over by many important groups.
I don’t agree with “Billy bad-butt” cops, but let’s Not slander all police as such. These are men with families just like us, who want to go home to them. I also don’t think that getting arrested is a voluntary thing. If one resists, then there should be actions taken to force an arrest. These guys use tactics to subdue strong and violent, sometimes drug charged, individuals. They have to do their jobs. I mean we ask them to do it.
Now the Floyd situation is different. It was obvious that Chauvin abused his power and authority, and he deserves serious repercussions for what appears to have been a cold blooded murder.
The calls to defund police and the “No snitches” matter directly contradict the idea that there is no difference in law enforcement investigating any other group’s crimes. American blacks are the only group that has decided to do this.
Facts don’t have feeling or have hate and people noting facts aren’t being hateful. Reality is just reality. The American black community needs to clean its own house.

What you state isn't facts, it's blind one-sided rhetoric.
All you've done is attempt to paint the black community as inhuman which is nonsense and speaks to who you are as an individual that you would even see things so slanted.

You're right. Criminals come from all races and I condemn them equally. I can honestly say I've never had a black person commit a criminal offense against me. Again, I'm someone who holds individuals accountable for their actions, not their entire race.

How are they beung ignored?
They are being ignored by the Black Lives Matter movement entirely. They focus solely on the dozen or so deaths committed by the police and completely ignore the murders in the black community. Black Lives Matter all the time. Sunday through Saturday. January 1st to December 31st. They focus on hate and division. I want them to focus on every life wrongfully taken.
quote:

I'll meet you for drinks whenever you want. I've always liked what you bring to the board.
quote:
Now, I see the resentment and anger and I just don't know.
That's just it. I'm not resentful or angry. I am trying to explain why I don't agree with the current Black Lives Matter platform. It isn't meant for everyone in the black community, only the ones killed by the police. They should have the same passion for every black person killed and they don't.
