I have a real question tho...
back in the day it was easy to boycott businesses that don't have your peoples best interests in mind and let them feel the burn of not getting black dollars... my question is... how do we adapt that strategy???
I watched yesterday and I saw commercials for T-Mobile, headache medicine, insurance companies, beers... how the ? do we navigate the terrain where you boycott one company thats owned by another company that supports the very same fuckery.
Hate to say it but I don't see muhfuckas on some "yeah... t-mobile is one of the NFL's biggest sponsors.. ? them ima switch carriers!... I aint buying Excedrin no more... and ? this noise... I'm switching my car insurance... and while i'm at it... I aint drinking this ? beer anymore either!"
You have to realize most people not willing to sacrifice for the change that they will tell you they are seeking.
Yeah. You have black people that see white supremacy at work, and they still choose to pick the cotton.
It's also like Cypher in the movie "The Matrix" who was going to betray his own team, just to get plugged back into the matrix knowing that it's not real. He rather deal with that than the reality that the human race is enslaved. -

Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended President Trump‘s comments about “SOB” NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.
Fox News’ John Roberts asked Sanders if the President went “too far” with that SOB remark in particular. Huckabee Sanders said, “I think that it’s always appropriate for the President of the United States to defend our flag, to defend the national anthem, and to defend the men and women who fought and died to defend it.”
NBC’s Peter Alexander brought up how Trump has tweeted more about the NFL than Puerto Rico, as well as asking what message it sends about him criticizing players exercising their First Amendment rights.
Huckabee Sanders again said that it’s “always appropriate” for the President to defend the flag and ask people to “respect it.”

During today’s press briefing, NBC’s Hallie Jackson pressed Sarah Huckabee Sanders on President Trump‘s criticisms of NFL players over the past few days.
Jackson noted how the President is meant to defend the Constitution and asked, “Does the President have a problem with the First Amendment?”
“Not at all,” Huckabee Sanders responded. “The President is simply stating that pride in our country is a good thing, it’s something that we should all celebrate.”
CNN’s Jim Acosta went next and asked if the President is trying to wage a “culture war.” Huckabee Sanders dismissed the idea and again said the President is talking about pride in our country. -

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders faced a really pointed question on Monday about why President Trump is doing more to attack National Anthem kneelers than he did to condemn the white supremacists responsible for the recent racial violence in Charlottesville.
Sanders faced a barrage of questions over Trump’s feud against various professional athletes, and she argued that president was all about defending the American flag when he referred to kneelers as sons of ? . ABC’s Cecilia Vega eventually got a chance for a question, and she asked, “Does the president believe that there are ‘very fine people‘ who kneeled yesterday during those games, or are they all SOB’s?
Sanders accused Vega of conflating “two different things” and said Trump’s remarks weren’t made against anyone.
“We respect the rights people have, but we always need to focus,” Sanders said. “This is the president being for respect in our country through symbols like the American flag, like the National Anthem and the hundreds of thousands that actually stand versus the few hundred that may have knelt.”
Sanders continued to face questions about topics like whether Trump was derailing his political priorities with this feud, and how people like Colin Kaepernick have kneeled in order to make a statement against racism and injustice within the justice system. -

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sanders-nfl-players-should-protest-police-not-flagWH Spokeswoman: NFL Players Should Protest Police, Not The American Flag
In the first White House press briefing since President Donald Trump bashed NFL players who protest during the national anthem, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended Trump and suggested protesting players find a new target.
“I think if the debate is really for them about police brutality, they should protest the officers on the field that are protecting them instead of the American flag,” Sanders told reporters at the White House.
That comment came after a reporter asked about a claim Sanders made earlier in the briefing that the “focus” of NFL players had “changed” from their original stated intent to protest police brutality.
Asked later if she was encouraging football players to protest the police, Sanders said she was not.
“That’s not what I’m saying,” Sanders insisted. “I was kind of pointing out the hypocrisy of the fact that if the goal is and the message is that of police brutality, which they’ve stated, then that doesn’t seem very appropriate to protest the American flag. I’m not sure how those two things would be combined.”
The White House press secretary defended Trump’s decision to wade into the issue, arguing that far from being a distraction, it’s “always appropriate” for the President to defend the flag, the national anthem and those who protect the U.S.
“He’s emphasizing something that should be unifying,” Sanders said.

Bill O’Reilly had a few choice words Monday for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on the subject of protests.
Appearing on SiriusXM’s The Wilkow Majority, the former Fox News primetime star claimed that Goodell and the league office refused to let the New York Giants wear a patch commemorating 9/11 on their sleeves. (He is appears to be mistaken in this, although the league did refuse to allow Tennessee Titans player Avery Williamson to wear special cleats to remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks in September 2016. Williamson and five others who wore the cleats that week were not fined.)

So they really just going to ignore the fact that they made it about the flag huh? And where did the flag even come into this ? ? The players are kneeling during the anthem. What does that have to do with flag? People talking like these dudes are on cam wiping their ? with the flag or something. -

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20817584/dallas-cowboys-planning-unity-gesture-monday-game-vs-arizonaSources: Cowboys to have pregame unity action
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Individually or collectively, members of the Dallas Cowboys are planning on making a unity statement before Monday night's game against the Arizona Cardinals in the wake of President Donald Trump's comments, but the exact details have not been worked out yet, according to multiple sources.
On Sunday, every team had some form of demonstration as a response to Trump saying owners should fire the players who disrespect the flag by not standing during the national anthem. Hundreds of players, coaches, executives and owners stood together arm in arm, sat, knelt, raised a fist or stayed in the locker room during the national anthem.
The Cowboys and the Cardinals are the last two teams to play in Week 3 and will be watched by millions of fans as well as those with the other 30 teams.
Sources said the Cowboys leadership council, which includes more than a dozen players, met Sunday night and then the Cowboys met as a team. No general consensus was reached during those meetings as to what they should or should not do. The subject was brought up at the Sunday night team meeting with the coaches.
Sources said players from both teams talked about joining arms together during the national anthem.
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is expected to meet with the players before the game at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Coach Jason Garrett has called the anthem "sacred," but he chose not to comment Saturday after Trump said at a rally in Alabama, "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a ? off the field right now? Out! He's fired. He's fired!'"
Jones was one of seven NFL owners to donate to Trump's inauguration. So far the Cowboys have not released a statement on Jones' behalf; however, the NFL, the NFL Players Association and a number of teams and executives across the league issued statements calling Trump's comments, "divisive."
Since last year when the protests took a higher profile, the Cowboys have had every player stand for the national anthem without incident. Jones has said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, "I feel very strongly that everyone should save that moment for the recognition of the flag in a positive way, so I like the way the Cowboys do it."
It is possible tonight that could change. -
