    I tend to agree. It's as if folks like Colin are purposefully telling us that for some reason, even though he is only half AA, that somehow that taints him. What a ludicrous position to take. He's like Obama. The product of interracial marriage who only seems themselves as the victim they want to become, and not the product of the union of the best of all of us. Truly a sad condition.

    Oh, I forgot about whataboutism. Do you feel China deserves a pass because you can cobble together an attempt at comparison? Tell me this, when you complain about the products of prison labor in the US, do you suppose that prisoners should simply endure in prison and not learn how to be productive? And when they are released back into society (something that doesn't happen in China by the way, do you still consider them to be slaves like they are in China?

    It’s not a whataboutism if the person I’m responding to quite literally forgot we have slave labor in the US in the form of prison terms. And yeah I kinda do consider them to be slaves. Add in recidivism rates and China at least promises to take care of their citizens. I don’t see a promise like that here.

    Hmm.. this slave labor you speak of.. is that illegals democrats are importing so they can use them endlessly? Or were you thinking about something else... Oh yes, prisons. Does a prisoner have to work/ Yes or no. I'll tell you that in the US, no one can be forced to work, and even OSHA rules apply to prisons. You have no argument.

    You mean those Republicans who benefit from the labor and Democrats are trying to legalize so they don’t suffer abuses? Nobody talked about undocumented immigration. Lol I guess I will accuse you of your whataboutism. As for the forced work? That’s not a high standard when the system makes you work for the benefits you want/need.

    When democrats turn a blind eye to "millions of future democratic voters".... never mind. You're not worth discussing this with.

    In addition to doing it for profit and name recognition I half suspect he's doing it to get laid as well.

    Mike, the institutional racism of today exists only in the minds of people like Kaepernick. The concept of entitlement is addictive; even when you are already rich and successful as he is. And crying racism is a cry for entitlement- For money not earned, for fame, for respect neither earned or due, for special privilege as a racial perk and an exemption from the rules of the rest of society... and as a form of imaginary superiority, which makes it unnecessary to examine yourself and your motives.

    This is hardly new- it is just resurrected to generate new benefits for the immoral members of the black community.... and do great injustice to the moral members that are valued citizens.
    Such people do not enhance the future of black people- they diminish it, and that diminishes all society.

    In 1911, Booker T. Washington wrote:
    There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

    Thomas Sowell wrote:

    Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as "racists."
    The word 'racism' is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything - and demanding evidence makes you a 'racist.'

    Well why do we need him to tell himself what he thinks when we have you to do that for us?
