National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell last week said pro football was wrong for not listening to players fighting for racial equality. Goodell encouraged them to peacefully protest.
“It has been a difficult time for our country,” Goodell said in a video the league released Friday. “In particular, [for] black people in our country.” The commissioner offered his condolences “to the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and all the families who have endured police brutality.”
“We, the National Football League, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of black people,” Goodell continued. “We, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the National Football League, believe Black Lives Matter. I personally protest with you and want to be part of the much-needed change in this country.”
Goodell’s message was well-received in the press, insofar as dovetails with the message the media and other large corporations have been broadcasting about the need for greater racial equality and justice. He also recognized that people generally have the right to peacefully protest—a point no American would deny.
But Goodell’s statements went beyond that. It was an invitation to kneel during the national anthem, affirming support for the idea that America is guilty of “systemic racism.” Americans should strongly reject this and tune out the NFL on the grounds that it is un-American and disrespectful to those who have served, to our flag, and to our nation.
In the sports world, many of the players who “kneel” claim that they are doing so in solidarity to protest inequality and injustice around the country. Some take issue with phrases in our national anthem, such as “land of the free,” which they claim is simply not accurate.
The act of kneeling, however, has absolutely nothing to do with rectifying “injustice.” On the contrary, those who kneel show a lack of patriotism and respect for our flag, our country, and for those who fought for the freedoms that we enjoy. As a matter of fact, it is these very freedoms that many of the NFL players enjoy that enables them to make millions of dollars per year.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees seemed to understand this point when he stated:
I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country. Is everything right with our country right now? No, it is not. We still have a long way to go. But I think what you do by standing there and showing respect to the flag with your hand over your heart, is it shows unity. It shows that we are all in this together, we can all do better and that we are all part of the solution.
Sadly, Brees subsequently “changed his mind” and apologized for his comments. President Trump correctly condemned this apology and tweeted, “I am a big fan of Drew Brees. I think he’s truly one of the greatest quarterbacks, but he should not have taken back his original stance on honoring our magnificent American Flag.” Full Story @ American Greatness
On Being Pounded With Lies, Damned Lies, and More Damned Lies About ‘Systemic’ Racism in America
And everyone who lives in America knows it
We all know the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes. It is not just a children’s story. Rather, it is an eternal story about human nature. If people are surrounded by a mass or a mob who speak nonsense as a Truth — with a capital “T” — then perfectly sensible people who internally know better will fall into line and babble the same “Truth.” For a reality check and sanity in the public arena, it ultimately often takes a little kid who simply has not been taught social conformity and political correctness to look and say “But this ‘Truth’ simply is not true.” Read More
Race riots are based on a lie that white cops kill black men all the time
Race riots in Democrat-run cities following George Floyd’s death are based on a lie gleefully fomented by the left-wing media.
Race riots in Democrat-run cities following George Floyd’s death are based on a lie — gleefully fomented by the left-wing media — that there has been a surge in white cops killing black men. In reality, Riley said these incidents have dropped dramatically
According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. Some may argue that these statistics are evidence of racist treatment toward blacks, since whites consist of 62 percent of the population and blacks make up 13 percent of the population. But as Mac Donald writes in The Wall Street Journal, 2009 statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties.

Black Americans Are Being Used as Pawns By The Leftist Elite
That people dislike and distrust one another on tribal grounds is a fact of human life. That hasn’t stopped Jews, Irish, Jamaicans, Nigerians or anyone else from doing well here.
Why, then, is it a virtue to pretend? Why should I — an absolutely lovely person who has nothing but good will toward anyone who does not annoy me — apologize for anything I have not done? Indeed, I would like to declare right here and now that when you look upon my bald head, you should see, not atonement for some racial sin, but a great, big old imaginary tattoo telling antifas and Black Lives Matter they can both pound sand.

Academics: Abolish The White Race
Drexel Professor: 'When the whites were massacred during the Haitian Revolution, that was a good thing indeed’
The views of the Authors are NOT the views of Enigmose. They are provided to allow a full focus on the bizarre warped thought patterns of Academia and the Left in General.
The Drexel professor said that “Yacub made a lot of white folks.” According to Nation of Islam theology, Yacub is a black scientist who created the white race to be a “race of devils.”
One would have better luck taking wetness away from water - at least you can freeze it - than to rip the racism out of whiteness. Even the US's first black president could not freeze the racism that has always defined this country. Instead, despite his best efforts, his presidency unleashed a torrent of renewed racial animosity and policies, all embodied by the ultimate avatar of white nationalist masculinity, Donald Trump.
