I guess it isn’t entirely their fault high schools and colleges have deemphasized or in some cases eliminated history requirements no wonder they know so little and are so anxious to repeat the mistakes of others https://www.goacta.org/news/the-danger-ignorance-of-history-poses-to-the-future-of-a-free-society

2/3 of millenials don’t know what aushwitz is and 22 percent had never heard of the holocaust https://www.google.com/amp/amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/apr/12/many-americans-millennials-ignorant-holocaust-surv/ one would think we would want our children to know what totalitarian states and humanity is capable of And how true hate directed towards one race that’s goal was to exterminate them all actually came into being Kids should know this and then understand how Israel came into being when I was in High school we saw films of the bodies being moved by bulldozers i was taught what auchwitz was and never forgot it i was taught the same thing in my American history after 1865 class in college and it made me want to know more about how such a tragedy could have happened- so I read about all the mass murderers and how they came to power hitler, stalin, mao, king leoplodt Amoungst other things thats is when I converted from gun confiscation believer to 2nd amendment supporter

42 percent of millenials don’t know who mao is only 37 percent have an unfavorable view of communism https://www.google.com/amp/amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/nov/7/misinformed-millennials-and-civic-ignorance/

I’m guessing it must be the school system kids don’t even know the basics of American history or our constitution has the curriculum changed that much and if so why? They cant even pass a very basic 5 question quiz same quiz their older counterparts do much better on https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/millennials-patriotic-survey/

Well it seems to be true on a lot of levels Millenials haven’t been taught about the murderous history of communism that is obvious https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/guid/E6A0BF6A-948B-11E6-985D-B68880713E2D

The left have plenty on their side who are off their rocker and spewing hate https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/530736/

Both sides have people that are poorly informed and too far to one side one group we can include are our millennial s they are ignorant of history and the problems with big government, gun confiscation and limits on speech can lead to one third of them actually and incredibly think bush killed more people than get this- stalin https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/communism-george-w-bush-joseph-stalin-survey-millennials-younger-generation-death-killed-a7366131.html%3famp

The other side always comes up with the same nonsense I remember going to a seminar at a church in Florida and the guy was talking about clinton declaring martial law and not leaving trump doesn’t have the power or the popularity to pull anything like that off anyone in the middle would turn on him as well as most of his supporters this isn’t venezuela they haven’t disarmed us yet we still have our guns thank goodness

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/02/28/politics/joe-biden-mike-pence-decent-guy-criticize-respond/index.html We weren’t watching the same channel there are what 10 different news shows on in the am

Watching news this morning about joe Biden getting in trouble for praising mike pence on foreign policy he got slammed by Dems for saying something nice about pence the political climate has become so toxic over the last 20 years instead of politely disagreeing and just thinking the other side is wrong, opposing viewpoint people are now “bad” people blatant truths are not aknowledged and explained away with weak excuses this is the fault of both sides who choose to politicize every facet of our lives both sides disagree with each other just to disagree - even when they are both on the same side of an issue if we could share some common ground and agree on a few things maybe that could be a starting point: no interventionist nation building wars legalization of marijuana sentencing and prison reform for non violent criminals no cart Blanche abortion on demand right through 9th month fair trade deals requiring wealthy nations to pay their own defense budgets as committed to via treaty fast track experimental drugs for the terminally ill reign in Iranian and North Korea nuclear threat gay marriage- have at it who cares? Cut spending across the board admit some truths: illegal aliens do not statistically commit more crimes than the rest of us All conservatives are not racists media bias is very real and skews left a double standard exists big tech and it’s influence is massive and should be looked at weaponizing any facet of our buerocracy is a danger to us all: irs, fbi, osha etc our President Needs a filter/ should stay off Twitter some illegals are bad people but most are hard working people looking for a better life- and we need the dudes most Americans are caring, good and welcoming people

Read a history book is rude and shaming no need for that I’ve been polite as to being interested in that that is different I would agree but you stated in this thread that Americans werent interested in seeing a black on white type hate crime like the 81 year old white trump person being attacked by a latino When I talked about if the shoe was on the other foot, you said Americans would be more interested in seeing an 81 year year old obama supporter attacked by a white person I think it’s media bias they had no interest in discussing things like the trump rally beat downs of trump people or this old man being assaulted we all know if the roles were reversed that it would be a firestorm Because if americans really is as racist. As many on the left claim, then minority hate crimes against whites would be very rare and white hate crimes against blacks would be common If different is what people are looking for then be consistent fwiw trump looks like an absolute hateful idiot when he goes off on negatively generalizing about illegal immigrants but so do those who negatively generalize about mr trumps supporters, which I am not one of

Pretty condescending and rude name calling and shaming instead of talking the facts is what I thought you were against youre better than that I have a library with 100s of history and biographical books I’m not sure your explanation rings true According to you we are more interested in seeing stories about lost white girls than black girls because we identify or are closer to the white girls than black girls but somehow that same theory gets put on its top when supposedly we don’t want to see stories about blacks attacking whites but whites attacking blacks

5 Nebraska kids in his first full year Legit connection to Nebraska high school coaches all throughout the state high school coaches love this staff

Harrison Phillips was a total whiff i agree prater twins from Omaha central jay ball drove those kids to ic not sure Iowa would have paid for an official they were a bit of a reach academically behavior etc think they were late adds Riley was totally incompetent pelini hated recruiting neither had it right when it came to Nebraska kids jmo

Yes he blocked well that Is very true the games I watched he played: tight end split end h back fullback widcat quarterback linebacker he he missed a lot of later season games long shot at best yes I can see why you wouldn’t want to pass on him and by some miracle he shakes the injury bug and blows it up his brother is a real baller too not as big

If that is the case then really why would America be more interested in seeing white violence against blacks than black violence against whites like you are suggesting

Please expand upon your original premise " The media bias is towards whatever will draw more attention and viewers and clicks. In that case, an old MAGA guy getting punched by a kid will not be as much of a news story as a minority being attacked by a white person. Of course that's true. Moving on." Why would our society think one is more important than the other, when they are both really bad? See Guy Chamberlins post on the media caring more about lost white girls vs lost black girls- both are bad

I might add that MANY headlines dont tell the whole story- its bias by omission Like the commonly held belief that hate crimes are on the rise Not necessarily true : https://reason.com/blog/2019/02/18/jussie-smollett-hate-crime-hoax-empire But despite Trump's very real history of making disparaging remarks about all kinds of people, there is not a lot of statistical evidence to support the notion that hate crimes are surging. While it's true that the FBI's count of hate crimes rose 17 percent from 2016 to 2017, it's important to note that 1,000 additional agencies reported information to the FBI in the latter year. It should go without saying, but as the number of agencies participating in the FBI's count of hate crimes grows more numerous, the total number of hate crimes will undoubtedly rise. This does not necessarily mean that hate crimes are surging—just that the authorities undercounted them previously. Statistics, of course, are easily mischaracterized. A few months ago, many in the media became obsessed with a figure from the Anti-Defamation League, which purportedly showed that anti-Semitism had spiked a whopping 57 percent under Trump. But part of that statistic reflected an increase in bomb threats against U.S.-based Jewish institutions perpetrated by just one person: a deranged Israeli teenager. Anti-Semitic violence, according to the ADL's count, actually decreased 47 percent. A CNN article shows hate crimes trending steadily down from 1996 to its latest data of 2014 https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/05/health/hate-crimes-tracking-history-fbi/index.html

I would agree with some of that- he did seem to have more respect for local kids than Callahan and Riley. However Pelini didnt respect Nebraska talent to a huge extent either. He and his coaches didnt spend very much face time around the typical HS hotbeds in Nebraska- most HS coaches will tell you that.

That may be true but why, really want to know ? why would an 81 year old white guy being attacked by a Hispanic male somehow be less heinous or newsworthy than an 81 year old black guy being attacked by a white person?

Yes amazing athlete but jurgens didn’t dominate any of the games I saw him play and yes he did take a few snaps as a wildcat quarterback but his high school career stats were just 1100 receiving yards 14 ypc and 514 rushing yards at 5.2 ypc not dominating by any stretch that is 4 years of varsity football

Never said bando was highly thought of got early stars ( three) because he went to a highly rated school and Been going to lots of camps since the 8th grade saw him in San Antonio at a camp when he was an 8th grader he got recruited because of the img thing and the stars from camps i hope they both play just don’t see it happening jurgens is a freak athlete and so is his younger brother but he has been injured 4 years in a row now seen too many of these to think it’s just bad luck

I grouped them because both got early stars due to combine and or reputation of school stuff and less on the football on the field stuff from what I’ve seen with my own eyes and talking to football people in Beatrice jurgens is always injured broc rarely dominated in high school i saw him play a lot when he was here img has loads and loads of skill position depth much easier to make it there on the line consistent injury over time vs a one time injury Are two totally different things

I’m very confident both broc and jurgens will never be part of a meaningful down here i wish them well and have seen both play a number of times frost is all about getting football players in who fit the culture that is why he is in early on some kids who no one else is on bando and jurgens were combine and measurement guys

Riley passed on several Nebraska kids he should have taken Bryson Williams says hello instead he goes for a combine performer who was consistently injured in high schooL and Broc Bando whose claim to fame is a stint at img where nearly every player is automatically s 3 star and broc will never break the 3 deep pelini did the same thing both were wrong
