    14 members of the Miami Marlins (players and staff) tested positive Monday. Looks like the season is already in danger.

    The men I mentioned above didn't fight in the Alamo, but they made sacrifices folks like you would never and probably never could understand. See there is more history in America than just White History.

    Compared to dying in combat none of them made a sacrifice at all. The Alamo was not white history. Educate yourself before you throw racist comments around.

    That's easy for a white man to say, also black folks were slaves when the Alamo was fought. So yes it's white history.

    I'll be real good from now on Mr RP12. You must be upset with me because you don't control me or is it because you didn't teach me. I don't laugh when nothing is funny, I don't scratch my head if it doesn't itch and I don't dance unless I hear music. If you don't like that, tuff ish.

    I am critical of your posts aka the content of your character. I dont react to your post because you say or are Black. That is meaningless to me..

    People like you piss on the memory of MLK JR and yet claim others hate him.

    You see anything critical as an attempt to control. You see anything that disagrees with your narrow viewpoints as "White" and thus racist.

    Yea it's funny how folks like you didn't give a damn about men like Dr King when he was alive, but after they are dead then you quote him or want to those who are living to be like him. Funny how that works. My character is fine.

    So in other words you are saying I was MADE in America.

    So then how can you claim I am pissing on his memory if you didn't even know the man.

    Well anyone with common sense knows I am not talking about black folks and you can report whatever the devil you want.

    regardless of who watches any sport, or provides any product or service.. it is beyond stupid, possibly in the insane range to run off a large percentage of your clientele.
    BTW.. I have political propaganda publicly displayed in my office.. you have to look for it and a lot of Hispanics' are picking up an old "why vote Republican" LOL my percentage of lost patronage after 25 years here is less than 3 i know of and no reason to suspect more out of 10's of thousands of transactions.. to have a number that is statistically insignificant is a risk I'll take. BTW.. I NEVER bring up politics, here in the office, in conversation. i've had plenty conversation of the subject, initiated by others; and many of those conversations are to reassure brothers and sisters of my political slant.

    I think people are upset with you because you do simplistic virtue signaling and use the term racist when you clearly do not fully understand what it means.
    They are not white, thus the Alamo is not white history.


    Regardless there is nothing wrong with white history. It’s as full of great and horrible things as any races history.

    Your upset because I don't laugh when nothing is funny, I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear music. That's just the way it is.

    They damn sure wasn't black.

    Who claimed it wasn't.

    I am waiting for BKB on the mound. Blacks Killing Blacks. A more honest statement can never be made.

    You make no sense at all. All you are doing is attempting to edge around your own post now.

    Boring and pointless so I have moved on.

    Stereotype much? Just like the old days of slavery, lynchings, Jim Crow, Progressive Woodrow Wilson's bathroom segregation, Chicago Democrats worshipping the monument to White Supremacist Stephen A. Douglas and Congressional Democrats worshiping at the statue of Robert "Sheets" Byrd that disgraces the capital bldg. Democrats have one heck of a legacy. Think twice before before you start pointing at Republicans.

    Certainly, but there's a time and a place for almost everything. Bringing politics onto the field of play isn't the place nor the time. Want to protest, voice your opinions, organize a march, take part in a demonstration, make a speech at a rally, write a letter to your local newspaper or congressmen or who ever.

    Most folks go to sporting events to get away from the real world, the world of politics. To lose themselves for a couple of hours from the reality of the real world. A time and a place for everything, a sporting event isn't a place for politics. It's a place to play sports and entertain the fans.

    That's right. And they should express their opinions on their own time and their own forum. Exposing people who came to watch a game to their hatred for the country and the liberty Americans enjoy to promote whatever they are promoting is tantamount to hostage taking when people already paid for sports tickets.

    I cut my cable because CNN and MSNBC were part of the bundle I needed to watch an American news station. I happily cut $177 out of my monthly household budget and replaced it with a $7.99 subscription to Klowdtv. Similarly, I can see people cutting hundreds out of their household budgets to avoid being assaulted with an anti-American statement. I don't believe it worked out well for the NFL. I could be wrong.

    5 games into the MLB season and I have watched 2. No interest in tonight’s game even though it’s the Dodgers and that match up has a bunch of relevance right now. When you make the game not about the game you lose fans.

    Yep. People go to / watch games to get away from the daily grind, which has included the nightly reporting of terrorist attacks. Yeah. I know. I should watch MSM channels that hide the rotten core of the Democrat Party. That's the one curse of watching OAN on Klowdtv --- being subjected to real news.
