A famous reminder of how it is
Posted: Jun 1, 2017
Many don't think racism exists...and for those who diminish and marginalize this experience of a large number of the population of the U.S. (other countries too, but U.S. racism is special)...
Lebron James' response...

It is really sad we are still doing this...sadder yet that it seems to be getting worse instead of better. Today's society seems to be re-energized with racism of late. In my world, the people who were formerly whispering their racist remarks are now making them proudly, as if they have found new rights of passage. For the most part, I simply cut the blatant racists out of my life (confederate flag, N-word using)... I refuse to be in their presence. Unfortunately, working out of the house has brought some of this back into my face and I will not be silent.;
A lot of this "vandalism" has been found to be fake. It's done - to get media attention. LeBron hates

They lied about a racist attack by white students on a school bus. There are countless so-called racist attacks that turn out to be lies.
Remember those lacrosse players in NC who were accused of - rape by a black girl but it never happened,

She made it up.
Great, now we start with rolling out the - "I know a guy" examples

Hopeless, totally hopeless...in particular the people on this board have deep-seated views that are hopeless.
Perhaps because the tone of the post is all Trump supporters are - racist. Maybe if it had been qualified

of Americans are not.
The New Black Panther party calls for killing of white people - with bombs. Most leftists dance around

this issue and it doesn't get the media attention like an NBL star. Also it's not part of their agenda that some blacks are racists. Look what happens when you say All Lives Matter!
Last year several churches here in North Carolina were spray painted - with pro-homosexual messages

and suffered thousands of dollars in property damage. Some of the church windows were smashed, flowers uprooted, the church bus was vandalized including the grill on the front was bent, eggs were thrown at the bus.
Two Christians preachers were beaten at the Seattle Gay Pride - Festival and they vandalized

a Chick-Fil-A restaurant. They were not charged.
These are random events and I don't blame a group of people for this.
The 2nd story itself is racist - against "white people."
[ In Reply To ..]
Takes a racist to know one. What a bunch of crock and only a moron would believe this racist writer was ever having conversations with "white people" about race.
As far as James Lebron:
“If this is [going] to shed light and continue to keep the conversation [about race in America] going on my behalf, then I’m okay with it,” James said.
He can thank Obama for that.
And why are you posting these racism stories on this politics board?
I think we have plenty enough divide on this board just between the 2 parties.

I belive racism exists. I am white and have experienced it on many occasions - myself, just saying, nm

Robert Mueller Is A ReminderJun 21, 2017Reputation: Something that takes a lifetime to build, but only seconds to destroy.
Just because a man has behaved honorably in the past is no guarantee that he is doing so now.
In the matter of character, history is littered with examples of men who let it slip through their fingers, and Robert Mueller is in peril of doing precisely that.
Resign, Mr. Mueller. You have too many painfully obvious conflicts of interest for this job, which are becoming more and more apparent by ...

A Reminder On Foreign Policy And Obama.Oct 23, 2012Remember 2008? One of Obama's weak points was foreign policy....he had NO experience in foreign policy.
A lot of people don't want to vote for Romney because he doesn't have any foreign policy experience. To those people, I would love to know why they would vote for a candidate that had no foreign policy experience one year and four years later refuse to vote for someone because they don't have any foreign policy experience? Doesn't make sense to me.

Reminder: Obama Promised War In AfghanistanAug 23, 2017On Monday, President Donald Trump laid out his strategy for the war in Afghanistan going into 2018 and beyond.

Why yes, yes he did. Let's take a trip in the way-back machine and look at some now-regrettable tweets, dug up by Fox's Stephen Miller:
